[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is what I will never understand. There is so much nuance. So much unknown. So much "what if this?" "What would god say?" "Is this true?" "Where should the line be drawn?" We don't know, there's too many questions for us to sum it up in a neat bow and decide "this is morally good" or "this is morally bad." So the [i]only[/i] thing we can do is say "let's ensure that this is an issue between each individual woman with her individual moral qualms (or not) and her individual story and her doctor." Isn't that the most humane, most reasonable answer to questions that are, essentially, unanswerable and certainly not universally agreeable? [/quote]

One would think!

It just occurs to me that there might be a bit of a Dunning Kruger effect going on here. I would guess that the majority of all those state politicians passing these abortion restrictions have not done a deep dive into the theological, philosophical, or ethical questions surrounding abortion (and certainly they haven't done a deep dive on the medical questions). They have just been told, and they just believe, "it's killing a baby and that's wrong so we have to stop it."
