  • Notes
    • Oh boy.
    • Introduce the idea of a position being as ridiculous as its polar opposite
    • When you say you are "pro-life", you are calling those who disagree with you "pro-murder"
    • When you say you are "pro-choice", you are calling those who disagree with you "pro-slavery"
    • Because it is disingenuous to accuse people of being for murder or slavery, it's disingenuous to frame your position of this argument in those terms.
    • It avoids having to do the hard work of debating what's a reasonable definition for the start of life. It avoids the hard work of seeing where we find common ground
    • Let's do ourselves a favor and assume that we are all pro life and choice. This however does not mean I have the right to murder people
    • Provide multiple starting points of view on start of life. You should argue accordingly
      • Inception - new DNA
      • Heartbeat
      • Crossing the vaginal canal
    • We agree on avoiding unwanted pregnancy. How can we reduce that?
