It&#8217;s a small price to pay for something a woman truly wants, but an enormous amount to pay for other people&#8217;s questionable metaphysical notions about personhood. In a decent society it would be both safe and convenient for women of all socioeconomic backgrounds to terminate an early stage pregnancy on demand without facing judgment and hassles.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Yes, you read that right: his son\u2019s development and birth left him more convinced than ever that killing him would have been a perfectly legitimate choice. <em>That\u2019s<\/em> gonna be an awkward conversation when little Jose is old enough to peruse his dad\u2019s stuff.<\/p>\n<p>The stereotype of liberals is that they\u2019re open-minded thinkers constantly striving to deepen their knowledge and refine their assumptions, while conservatives\u2014especially those of a cultural or religious bent like pro-lifers\u2014are obstinate, uncritical dogmatists. But Yglesias\u2019s premise isn&#8217;t to reflect on how this new experience might have provided him with insights he\u2019d been missing or shown him the error of any preconceived notions.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, it turns out that he <em>just happened<\/em> to already be right about everything. Indeed, on abortion he prefaces it by blithely assuming that <em>everyone<\/em> interprets pregnancy as reinforcing their own biases. Remember, Matt: <a href=\"http:\/\/english.stackexchange.com\/questions\/11421\/he-who-accuses-the-whole-world-convicts-only-himself\">he who accuses all convicts one<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>With his excuse to not think too deeply about the subject helpfully set up, it\u2019s no wonder that he doesn&#8217;t bother to explain what\u2019s \u201cquestionable\u201d about pro-lifers\u2019 \u201cmetaphysical notions about personhood,\u201d even while peddling some dubious metaphysics of his own.<\/p>\n<p>Babies are \u201cmiraculous,\u201d but only when they\u2019re \u201cbeloved\u201d?

Is the value of children conferred on them by other people?<\/p>\n<p>Further explanation is needed\u2026but probably isn&#8217;t on the horizon, considering we\u2019re dealing with someone <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lifesitenews.com\/news\/pro-lifers-dont-help-people-after-birth-nonsense\">who contents himself<\/a> with such mindless bumper-sticker sentiments as \u201clife begins at conception and ends at birth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The only actual experience he cites is seeing firsthand the hardship women undergo during pregnancy, which certainly needs to be understood, respected, and considered.
