I ran across this tweet, tried out the argument on some anti-abortion folks, and found they were completely stymied. -- (link) - loosilu May 6, 14:29 22
- I'd be stymied by such a rambling, specious, nonsensical "argument" too... -- nm* - Ender May 6, 19:08

  - Which is fine if there was agreement on when to confer personhood. Nevermind that "at conception" arguments are rooted in - TWuG May 6, 15:37 3
    - The religious right claims that science supports their anti abortion beliefs. They are disingenuous. -- nm - loosilu May 6, 16:14
    - I mean the religious right (and to a large degree the right in general) has decided that any other points of view are de facto illegitimate. Freedom - pmb May 6, 15:42 1
      - It's the original virtue signalling. I know. I was one of them. -- nm - loosilu May 6, 16:15
  - Except even that last part isn't canon for them. And the problem with the first part is that it's essentially a religious argument. It's like making - pmb May 6, 15:35 4
    - Just saying that you can’t argue with someone who begins with assumption that that is a fact. -- nm - Dano May 6, 15:44 3

        The concept that a man cannot simply procreate as he pleases is entirely foreign to them. -- nm* - znufrii May 6, 16:19
      - Right. I agree that is essentially their "answer" to the argument posed. It isn't about how the woman got pregnant, it's that there is a "life" - pmb May 6, 15:48
- I’ve seen similar in meme form, but not that thoroughly argued. A few minor quibbles, but overall very solid. -- nm - znufrii May 6, 14:49 6

    - Parietal ridges are temples (there are two of them), is that what she means? The brow ridge is the supraorbital. -- nm* - loosilu May 6, 14:56 2
      - Yep. And apparently my occipital bone is a wonder to behold, too. -- nm - RelutantCynic May 6, 15:04 1

    - nice! -- nm - prayformojo May 6, 13:46 3
      - now my wife and I have his/hers Niro :) My plan is to keep it until the Ioniq 6 is released and probably switch to that if it is as nice as it looks -- nm - oblique May 6, 13:47 2
        
        I'm now debating whether to wait for the Niro, or get a Ford Escape PHEV later this summer. -- nm - RelutantCynic May 6, 13:52 1
        
        I do not like what they did with the 2023 Niro styling for sure. It does not drive like an SUV at all and is far roomier than I expected (possibly as - oblique May 6, 13:55
