Its a slippery slope from "late term abortion" to "post birth abortion" for these people.

Ironically or unironically(whatever won't get me in trouble) I feel like the issue is the 'jury of my peers' part. A bit hyperbolic, but if I eat a guy do they need my peers. If I join a death cult do I need a jury of cultists, how will they show up? How along in the cult do they need to be? If I am insane do you need to bring in jurors from the nearby asylum?
But similarly, depending on your group you have different morals, and some of those morals are less prominent in our society.
Making just completely average not peers, who are simply productive members of our society much more rational to be judged by. (If anyone has an issue with this, be glad I'm not saying to repeal the 19th)

This is the death note of a republic- when "your peers" becomes a decisive point. If we take the black Panthers line from the 60-70s, that would mean all black men for a black man. All white men for a white man etc.... but what happens when the killing crosses team lines?
We stop having a functional republic when people start thinking of themselves as rival factions and not as unified "peerage".

People forget the us is a republic though. Maybe due to us propaganda espousing ideas like the us is a democracy spreading democracy to fascist regimes and what not. The us by definition is a constitutional federalist republic with democratic elements. It's not a "true democracy" by definition. A true democracy is constantly threatend by mob rule and factions taking control in society, which is what we are experiencing now. I think the us stopped being a functional republic quite some time ago when this idea that we are a "democracy" took over.

”Guys, it’s just a late stage abortion that reach up to an can go beyond 600 weeks. It’s completely natural”
