I'm pro-choice but,

50. At what point during the gestation process...

does the girl/woman become fully human with the attendant autonomy alloted other fully human humans we arbitrarily deem human?

When I read a public "philosophical debate" about abortion that makes the girl/woman invisible in the whole of the "argument", I am reminded that the status quo requires that some of our species must remain forever invisible and under control, in order to maintain the status quo; to benefit the few at the expense of the many. I am also reminded how easy it is to provide crumbs of apparent autonomy to a few so the few may feel justified in denying even crumbs, to their fellow members of the many.

In a perfect world...

This is not, however, a perfect world. During a time and context in which women's rights to their own bodies is under constant attack by various r/w groups, the timing of this particular "philosophical debate" is, at the very least, tone deaf.

Here, in this not so perfect world, there are many women for whom abortion is not an abstract over which to muse, but a reality to be faced as they maneuver through this imperfect world and maybe, just maybe, get a few crumbs for themselves.
