the issue is bodily integrity, "freedom of choice" is reductive.

personal integrity snype

a child born in 1925 would be 18 in 1943, old enough to fight in critical battles against hitler. in such a situation, abortion is fascist.

we probably won't need to outlaw abortion again because there are hella people on this planet but we should never forget the sacrifices made by soviet women in the face of the hitlerite threat.

this argument seems like extremely strong support for my "we should probably get rid of the men" hypothesis but okay getfiscal whatever you say

i support your hypothesis. if you ever become a research biologist i'll find some way of donating to your studies, i promise. phase out men.

the issue with body integrity is that if a fetus can be said to have consciousness, that consciousness must be one of participation in its mother's bodily consciousness.

does a two-headed person have one consciousness.

hold on, i'm a religious scholar. let me handle the math here. okay, father + son + holy spirit = the godhead, immaculate that with the conception in question, divide by 0, remainder יהוה‎, carry The One... now square that by the number of angels that can dance on the head of a pin and it appears the answer is "Richard Dawkins."

no, it is an argument for the necessity of freedom from coercion in the approach to those experiences. they must occur as a matter of free and respectful associations between individuals

but the figure of coercion employed here is an essentially liberal one! voltaire is no sociologist or anthropologist, he is a bourgeois frenchman whose idea of coercion is basically the religious laws of absolutist france. can't you see how grinding this up into rawlsian pap is basically removing any real meaning from both what voltaire argues and the very "religious experiences" you valorise for a reason i haven't yet discerned? the point is how those religious experiences structure society and culture, your walmart spiritualism is expressly unable to do that by its very nature...
