If the only argument you have in support of your position is an off-the-chart extremization, then you don't have much of a position.

I'm not saying that taking-to-the-extreme doesn't have a place in a healthy discussion, and slippery slopes do exist, but if that's literally the only support your thesis have... eh, sorry, it's not enough.

Basically, we have a gray area around a few months in a woman's uterus. That is what everybody is talking about. The gray area does not extend beyond that.

Now, instead of trying to get clarity inside the gray area, you are attempting to make it much bigger, make it extend all the way to adult life. We're all trying to help each other see what we see, so that between everyone maybe we can some day figure out what's in the gray area, and here you are throwing a rhetorical smoke bomb. It doesn't prove anything one way or the other, and it makes the entire discussion more difficult.

Just don't, okay? Find an argument that's actually helpful. If you can't find one, I suggest you think about why you can't find one. There might be something interesting down that path.
