Matt Walsh Ends The Pro-Abortion Argument Once And For All

and let's begin by setting the stage it is a bloody stage indeed it is a stage that has seen the slaughter of 60 million human children since roe v-- wade 60 million why do some of us find this slaughter to be unthinkable and an injustice well because every single one of those 60 million were innocent and defenseless human beings and it is always wrong always wrong to directly and intentionally kill innocent and defenseless human beings it's as simple as that you know our position is very straightforward that's our whole position I just summed it up are you killing an innocent defenseless human being then it's wrong that's it the pro-abortion person here will respond with with a few different moves the first is to try to dehumanize the unborn of course he'll claim that the unborn child is not a human person and thus does not have the same moral standing and cannot make the same moral claims for itself that a quote real person can make now the idea that an unborn child is inhuman which is something that you do hear from pro aborts even supposedly educated ones is such a silly absurd anti scientific notion that I'm not going to spend a lot of time on it is simply a scientific fact that the being in the womb is indeed a being a living being and it is a member of the human species now we know that because all living things have to be a member of some species or another if an unborn child isn't human then what species is it now oftentimes what you'll hear is it's not a human it's a fetus well that's like saying it's not a human it's a boomer ok this is which may be kind of work sometimes but this is a stage of human development now as for living is it living well there are only three states of being that a physical entity can be and I think this holds true for the most part except maybe at the quantum level that would be most things are either alive dead or inanimate now is the unborn baby inanimate no inanimate objects don't grow they don't develop they don't move on their own they don't consume food you know this podium right here is inanimate it will never be anything other than this it will decay and fall apart you could cut it into pieces and it build it into something else but it's never on its own going to grow into something else because it's an animal is the unborn child dead well no we know it's not dead because if it was dead then we wouldn't need the abortion so that leaves only living okay so the baby is a living human we've established that we settled that argument already that's good what about person though well this is a little bit more interesting because the pro-abortion individual he has any degree of sophistication will probably concede that a quote fetus or undocumented infant as I like to call them he'll concede that it's a living human but he'll say okay fine it's a living human you're right about that but it's not a person and you'll say that it's not a person because it's still developing and it is entirely dependent on its mother for survival and this you will say means that it lacks moral standing but this view that personhood is acquired by degree in that it's forfeit if you are entirely dependent on someone else for survival clearly implicates more than just the unborn it would seem that the sick the infirm the disabled the elderly would all get caught up in this net if we're not willing to do that if we're not willing to look at an infant child that let's say three months out of the womb or an elderly person in a nursing home or a disabled person in a wheelchair if we're not willing to look at them and say that well you're kinda not as much of a person as me you're a little bit less people E than me if we're not willing to do that if we're not willing to say that personhood is attained by degree contingent upon factors like self sufficiency then we are left with this idea that personhood is inherent and all of its attending moral rights and dignities are inherent inherent means existing in something as a permanent essential and characteristic attribute of that thing if something is inherent that means that it belongs to the essential nature of that thing the idea that our human dignity our human rights are inherent our personhood is parent this is an idea that lies very much at the at the foundation of our of our of our country in fact any notion of human rights depends on this idea but and this is just a logical conclusion if an unborn baby does not have inherent value then human value itself is not permanent or essential and thus if an unborn baby does not have inherent value that neither does anybody in this room that's the thing about inherent value you cannot gain it that's why its inherent you either have it or you don't
