@Moon ahhh I see.. that doesnt sound like a very pragmatic approach to me. But I understand now.
yea that is kinda what i assumed going in, that while thinking with your wallet rather than human rights is **not** very practical I could see how people might have an unhealthy relationship with what we see as practical and it may be considered "pragmatic" to think with your wallet rather than in terms of human rights.. but as i said i would find the opposite to be more pragmatic in reality.
Wait, what exactly do people use "women won't be able to keep abortion plans secret from the government" to aruge?
It probably isnt the best of arguments, but I dont think its as bad as you do.. like #1 I agree on (and partly why its a bad argument).. #2 obviously using that particular case is questionable at best, and the mother was in the wrong. But I think saying it has nothing to do with abortion is not entierly fair. It is related to abortion int he sense that it never would have happened if abortions were legal. So clearly there is some relationship there. #3 is half valid... like year they do, but no need to make it easier.
Yea and thats why i agree, its a poorly framed argument even if it may hint at some valid truths in there while it does.
it’s because she gave birth, killed the kid and disposed of the corpse
Isn’t it about this case? damn why i wasn’t this kid
I have this funny idea that if arguments should be smart, correct AND help us get rid of survellance... in fact id argue they **need** to be smart and correct if they are to help us get rid of it.
