The astronomer Carl Sagan once suggested the following:
Strict ban on abortion would be justified if we had laws protecting all lifeforms. However, we protect consistently only human life. It is consciousness that makes human life special, so the protection should start at the moment when distinctively human brain activity appears. Before that, unborn human life is on par with animal life.
I don't think that comparing pro-choice position to Nazism is fair.

You can think what you want, but at this point, you’re posting stuff that’s clearly against Church teaching. If you are Catholic, you should make an appointment to discuss this with your priest, as there’s nothing further we can really say to you here. I don’t see a point in arguing with someone over basic Catholic doctrine.

The stuff Sagan is going on with is the sort of logic that leads to the concept of Useless Eaters sooner or later.

No, it is not "consciousness" that makes human life special, it is the indwelling of an immortal soul, that will either be eternally united with God or eternally estranged from Him, that "makes human life special". Mosquitoes have consciousness. Not a lot, but very specialized, driven by sheer instinct, and what little consciousness they have, they work it like a boss, to hide from you, and to bite you. Crafty little b*****s. |

Personally, I hate Daddy Long Legs. If you get them in a room they tend to land on your face and that can wake you with a shock.
