I think Louis CK is spot on ... how are you supposed to react if you


believe it's literally murdering babies. Think about all the coverage of school shootings and outrage (not that school shootings are not outrageous ... just setting up the premise here) ... OK. According to the anti-gun lobby (https://everytownresearch.org/reports/analysis-of-school-shootings/), we're talking about 20 kids per year on average -- of whom ~25% are killing themselves.

There are well over a half million abortions per year in the United States. So again, if you believe half a million babies per year are being murdered, how are you supposed to act?

Personally, I'm kinda torn. I think trying to distill it to a "womens rights" issue is intellectually dishonest, first and foremost. I do think killing a living soon-to-be human with a beating heart and brain waves probably is more morally analogous to murder than not. A clump of cells ... not so much... I just find it hard to get worked up about in general, though...
