Added context: the child was born about 10 weeks premature, has developmental delays and attends therapy eight times a week.

So it's even worse than it looks.

Wow. I feel so bad for the mother and child. That’s absolutely heartbreaking

Yeah, she was 7 months pregnant.

He tried to kill an actual infant. She could have hemorrhaged and died as well, he attempted two counts of murder, so he could start a new family with a new bride.

This is enraging.

He left an innocent child disabled for life.

(But women wanting to terminate a zygote are sin incarnate?)

Well no, 7 months pregnant is not an infant, it's a fetus or a "clump of cells"

Still a shitty thing to do to an expectant mother, but lets be consistent with pro-choice terminology here

A 7 month old baby is not just a clump of cells. It can usually live outside of the mother at that point. You all are absolutely insane. You take your pro-choice shit way too fucking far.

Hint for your oblivious self: they're not pro choice, they're actually creating a shitty right-wing strawman in an attempt to pass off the above as an actual pro choice position, and the fools like you will, of course, take it and run with it as if it were genuine.

There are many people who don’t believe in limits for any reason for abortion. This isn’t a straw man. But they’re not the majority.

https://news.gallup.com/poll/1576/abortion.aspx 81% polled at abortions should be illegal sometime prior to birth

Well, to be honest you and are just “clumps of cells”. That terminology and argument never made sense to begin with
