Abortion is murder, but that's fine. There is an ethical case for abortion up until the development of self-awareness.

Don't people not have self awareness until they're a toddler?

i mean, i at least get how to construct a sentence. for future reference-even if you say a dumb thing, which you ALWAYS do, at least make it readable. it makes you come off as less of a dumbfuck than you are.

Most experts put it at around 18 months. So, why not have a 1-year grace period. I don't see how it's any different from a regular abortion. And I don't see the problem.

They have self awareness but they don't have empathy for others, that is being able to put themselves in someone else's shoes not the being caring definition of empathy. Theory of mind/machivelian intelligence.
