I personally detest the modern scientific thought-frame that its just "a clump of cells". That terminology seems Orwellian to me, and is a slippery slope to quickly dehumanize the subject.

I'm in favor of a choice to abort in special circumstances such as rape or mental defects, but then again that simply opens the door to more loosely defined slopes. Its like...where do we draw the line? Its either 100% yes or 100% no.

I have the same stance towards abortion as heroin. It should be legal, but I'm 100% against it and associating with anyone who does it barring the common exceptions like rape and birth defects.

I'd like to hear your opinions on why heroin should be legal.

Personal responsibility would make for a worse society, but I don't prioritize outcomes over responsibility. I'd rather suffer the consequences of freedom over the consequences of restriction.
