Meme via Live Action [Today’s guest post by Acyutananda is part of our paid blogging program.] “A woman is an actual, living, breathing person, and a zygote/embryo/ fetus is only a potential person.” This statement is a staple feature of discussions about abortion, and the meaning is always that the woman can rightfully abort the […]
Open question for our readers: what do you think of dark humor about abortion?
