I thought so. I have the same emotional reaction because I thought of my foetuses as babies. Don't think the government intrudes tho.

A lot of religious conservatives here want to outlaw it and use legislative slights of hand to do so. They also try to cut social programs.

I know. I see your motivations are different. You don't want to feel complicit in it by helping fund it & wld rather help support families?

I think this is still a mistake based on a emotional response coz in reality, abortion has same effect as contraception for potential child.

Yes. Especially because abortions done for reproductive choice reasons almost always happen very early in pregnancy.

We have evolved a tendency to see taking something away as more serious than failing to give it despite consequences being the same.

It seems it served us better to put more effort into avoiding loss than seeking gain and moral intuitions formed around this.

Interesting studies done on this but never applied to the difference between not starting a pregnancy & ending one before consciousness.

We disagree on that. I can see where you're coming from but I believe you are mistaken.

I'm not mistaken in the facts. Contraception & abortion both prevent specific sperms & eggs from becoming people.

It just feels more like taking that potentiality away when it is done by abortion than by contraception or by abstinence.

I am not denying that my objection is moral and that the reality is complex.
