  Dennis Hackethal addressed criticism #162.

I’m not sure newborn babies are “people” in any meaningful sense yet.

In which case, even ‘aborting’ 6 months after birth would be fine.

A child does not seem anything like a functionally complete person until somewhere between 9 to 15 months old. Most people cannot recall memories from before age 3.

I’m skeptical a newborn is anything more than a robot until their creativity comes online.

It would be gross and upsetting, though, so let’s settle for abortion up until the child can be delivered and adoption for any unwanted babies.

Basing personhood on ‘functional completeness’ is fudging smarts and intelligence.
