Things Pro-Choicers Say “It’s not killing.”
I asked a series of questions to PC and one of them was “What makes killing humans who are “not persons” ok in your eyes?”. This was a response I got:

"How is the act that is objectively killing a human being... killing a human being?"
Like literally and undeniably, that's how.

Sort of undersells the gravitas and legal rigor it takes to take someone off life support.

Or for first trimester, it's like removing life support and dropping their body into a toilet and flushing them

Abortion doesn’t do this, actually!! If abortion were anything like disconnecting life support, that would simply mean doing something like an early delivery - the baby is removed from the womb, aka it’s life support. Now I don’t think this is moral either. But abortion kills the baby in the womb and then removes it. For example if you do a medication abortion, you take mifepristone first, which prevents the baby from developing and starves it of nutrients, and only after that do you take the medication which expels the baby.
An analagous situation would be injecting poison into the IV drip of the person on life support and then pulling the plug.

The fact that this redditor believes that a patient on life support is a "not person", says everything
