      I was pro-life for emotional reasons for a long time & still am for myself. But I see that perceptions of embryos as babies is simply false.

      I see that now so I support pro-choice campaigns & friends making that choice for themselves. Its very important to do so.

      I keep trying to get pro-lifers to see the logical failure. I really think most pro-life women motivated by perceiving own embryos as babies

      When pro-lifers talk abt babies, late-term abortions, "partial-birth abortions" or "murder", it's what they use @HPluckrose

      Those who references as babies are an empathy shortcut. Easier to say 'baby' than, 'a fellow human of equal worth'.

      The use of "baby" is quite misleading, and I for one won't take Appeal to Emotion logical fallacy seriously. @HPluckrose

      Also seeing an embryo as a fellow human being of equal worth is the same mistake.

      No reason to consider personhood to start when egg & sperm join. They weren't 10 mins earlier. Brain development makes ppl
