That's a great question.

So I'm going to quote now from an article previously published by Sequoia Capital and written by Adam Fisher, who should never be allowed to lift this article down.

When I say the dick writing is like fucking PR flack journal, it's it's it's shameful.

Quote.

Bring it!

A rights-based theorist might argue that there aren't really any discontinuous differences as a fetus becomes a child, and thus fetus murder is essentially child murder.

The utilitarian argument compares the consequences of each.

The loss of an actual child's life, a life in which a great deal of parental and societal resources have been invested, is much more consequential than the loss of a potential life in utero.

And thus, to a utilitarian, abortion looks more like birth control than like murder.

SBF, that's what they always call him.

The kid.

Steph's application of utilitarianism helped him resolve some nagging doubts he had about the ethics of abortion.

It made him feel comfortable being pro-choice, as his friends, family, and peers were.

He saw the essential rightness of his philosophical faith.

So that's very fucked up.

That is so deep.

The term choice is used at the very end there, but it's clear that he's not thinking about this in terms of the actual value of human bodily autonomy.

That does not weigh into utilitarian calculus for him whatsoever.
