Ridiculous. No newborn is “an independent entity biologically fully capable of sustaining itself.”
Roe v. Wade became law in the days before ultrasound. As images of pre-born babies become increasingly sophisticated, it’s becoming harder and harder for sophists and moral relativists like yourself to hide behind justifications. Squawk about “mystical belief” all you want. Have you ever considered that in 100 years, history might judge your moral evasions just as harshly as we judge slave-holders today? They too were at pains to deny the obvious.
