[isn’t about RFK, but this is interesting to me]

more than a year ago, maybe two years ago, that would’ve been my answer. i remember thinking it was too “niche” for me to wade into—let parents figure it out. when that position finally became untenable, i consciously decided to educate myself, it was a slow process b/c there’s so many angles.

That is a huge subject. I, myself, changed my position over the years. One thing that never changed is if that child is old enough to survive by itself outside of the womb then you are actually killing a person. It is no longer just about your rights alone, your body alone. It is a separate person, separate body, separate rights if it can survive outside the womb.

Also no matter the decision, you are never just killing a bunch of random cells. It always is a potential to be a whole complete person. Not a fish. Not a puppy. A potential person.
