J.D. Vance, the junior U.S. senator from Ohio, zeroed in on this in a social media post on Wednesday: “We’ve spent so much time winning a legal argument on abortion that we’ve fallen behind on the moral argument,” he wrote.

Vance is right.

    It seems you missed the first half of that sentence, which was not referring to a question of value:

    And a more secular moral case against abortion, that it’s harmful to women physically and psychologically

        “Is X safe?” isn’t a question of value. It is a scientifically verifiable question. You need to actually read.

          “harm” is a question of value. The fact you pretend otherwise means your either too stupid or too dishonest to be worth talking to further.

            “harm” is a question of value

            No it isn’t, it’s objectively measurable. If you lose 3L of blood, the harms associated can be objectively measured. If you lose a limb, the harms are objectively measurable. If you smoke a pack a day, the decrease in your lifespan is objectively measurable.

            What the fuck are you talking about.

                Clearly I thought to highly of a rat like you.

                Jesus you’re a stupid sack of shit.

                You need to take a look in the mirror if you can’t go two seconds without resorting to ad hominems.

                If there is a stupid sack of shit rat among the two of us, it clearly isn’t me.

                “harm” is fundamentally a subjective concept.

                In the same way septic tanks “subjectively” smell bad. Get a grip and learn to care about something other than semantics.

        Just a heads up, using the r-slur is against instance rules. Please edit your comment.
