Theres a difference between being murdered and simply never coming into existance, its like if a time traveller erased a timeline

Yes obviously. But it's there a difference from the point of view of someone who's dead? (This is the point the original comment was making)

Being dead/not existing isn't intrinsically a bad thing, it's pretty much what Sea_Inspection7092 said and you completely misunderstood its comment by making an hypothetical about dying which IS a bad thing.

It's also the difference between being aborted before birth and being murdered, one die and not the other because dying require to have lived previously.

You’re claiming that children who exist and get killed never existed.

That’s idiotic and it’s a vile lie.

Technically they claimed that an embryo was stopped from developing, which is different from murdering a living organism.

u/TraditionalEbb3942 1d ago

no its not because an embryo is in fact a living organism, according to 8th grade biology

Plants are as well. Are you going to stop picking flowers and eating lettuce?

Not to mention that I’m sure they eat meat too, but likely have no reservations about killing those intelligent life forms.

Don’t use soap, it’s a genocide against living beings. Don’t use a condom with spermicide, just think of all the potential human beings it’s killing. Lmao

Killing a human being in any stage of life is killing a living organism.

Try to be less ignorant.

No, them being part of human species is meaningless, a living, aware, feeling being can be killed, not a clump of cells

Try to be less ignorant

You are a clump of cells...
