In their defense, Beria would have sent even more tanks than "lesser evil" Khrushchev did. Asking for zero tanks is kinda privileged and idealistic.

IDK about you but half of the time I'm at work I'm not actually working. I have like 4 hours of insane productivity, but don't know which 4 hours those will be.

(Disclaimer: this is an academic exercise to me because I don't believe fetuses are people)

It boils down to consent. If you didn't consent, then it's not murder to remove a parasite. My right to swing my fist ends at your face.

Even outside of rape, the claim that consenting to having sex is consenting to have a baby is a stretch.

I've heard arguments that abortion is justified even with fetus personhood because nobody has a moral obligation to serve as a host for anyone else without informed consent. You have the right to do anything whatsoever with your own body, regardless of how much someone else needs it.

The main difference is that you work at a linear rate, but can exploit others at an exponential rate.
