A dramatic rise in pregnant women dying in Texas after abortion ban - Lemmy.World

Opinions on abortion are strong indicators of psychopathy. Nobody against legal abortion has a functional moral sense. Some are just incredibly morally stupid. Others are religious zombies. But they’re all dangerous and fundamentally animalistic. We can coexist with these creatures, obviously — we already do. But the widespread delusion that they’re just like us has been incredibly dangerous and possibly world-ending. It’s no coincidence they’re the same “people” who support pollution and celebrate ecological depredation.
Dehumanization isn't good no matter what side you're on.
Do you dehumanize bears when you acknowledge that they lack certain abilities? I like bears. They’re great! Doesn’t mean I have to pretend that they’re civilized or intelligent.
Do I dehumanize a creature which is not human? No, dehumanization doesn't work that way.

By “human” you might mean

  • an animal whose DNA falls within a specific probability distribution, or
  • an animal that embodies various virtues or transcendental capacities, etc.
  • We should acknowledge that countless creatures meet condition 1 but not 2. So what?

    Your second definition is usually referred to as "person", not "human".
