The phrase "we would have aborted you" doesn't really work for me, because what would be aborted isn't a "you".
@sjzara But the phrase "we should have aborted the entity that became you" is accurate, yes? Or "the baby that became you should not...etc".

@sjzara@PhilosophyExp But the phrase implies certainty as to when the entity became "you"?

@PhilosophyExp@sjzara If the foetus is aborted, there is no baby. So, you can't talk about 'the baby that became you'. -
@Hughmanist@sjzara I don't think that's right. "The baby that became you should not have been born" seems perfectly okay. -
@PhilosophyExp@sjzara Said to an aborted foetus, it's senseless. Said to a child or adult, it has meaning.
