This is something that works with pets, here at least, pets don't get killed, they're destroyed.The "clump of cells" argument always bugs me and I'm fine with abortions. The issue is that's splitting hairs as you're still killing living tissue that otherwise would continue to develop. You might pull "but tumors and cancer are living tissue too" as a gotcha but I'd agree with you, that doesn't make it morally wrong. Sometimes abortion is needed but it should sounds scary. A "clump of cells" is something you tell yourself so your mind doesn't drown itself in an endless sea of "What If...." and if you can't accept your actions then parenthood probably isn't a good choice anyways.
Plus for a "Thinker", you'd think Bob would realize saying his stance is "opposite" to pro-lifers is nonsense. He believes abortions are okay BECAUSE they're "a clump of cells" and "not an actual person". The entire thing is built on his arbitrary classification of "life" rather than anything about the situation of the pregnant woman.
They're classed as not having the sentience to be killed like humans do. Even though they inherit things from the parents and later on have moods to kick.
I'm alright with abortion to a point, but it does bug me as it comes off like the idea dogs and cats aren't sentient.
