Oh, cool! I followed this thread too and I find it interesting to hear what you have to say about it.
I don't quite know what to say about the cancer thing. I thought of replying that cancer doesn't have its own DNA like a ZBEF but I soon realised I would never be able to carry on a scientific debate and so I opted out of it. (I have no scientific education beyond high school.)
Anyone claiming the unborn are not people/are not human/are not alive in a significant sense, and not making the same claims about newborns and infants, either isn't thinking things through, or is being deliberately obtuse.
There is one argument for late term abortion that I find it very hard to argue against, and it's the argument that the brain is activated by the baby's first breath. What do you think about that? Does it hold up scientifically?
I so badly wish more people, especially fandom people, would read your blog. Keep up the good work!
