Overturning Roe is a slippery slope. If we start respecting the dignity of human life in the womb, it might lead to a mass outbreak of dignity where human life in all stages is recognized as sacred. These are very troubling times.

“Overturning Roe is a slippery slope.”
But who’s kidding who? You guys don’t actually give a fuck about the kid, at any point in pre- or post-natal development. You just want to punish the women for having sex.
... except you and your kind don't respect life at every stage. Your respect for life stops when you're asked to pay a small fraction of your taxes to help someone else - especially if that somebody is a person you consider unworthy of help.
The first places conservative governments generally cut when balancing budgets are health care, followed by senior services, followed by education, followed by child care - you put people in a position where they have to beg for help and even then they may not get it. You are among the worst kinds of hypocrites, and no one outside your cult is in the least bit convinced you are motivated in any way by altruism in this thing.
I disagree with overturning Roe, but aside from that, it sounds like a lovely idea. Too bad most conservatives don’t seem to actually think that way. (Don’t kid yourself, Matt, you don’t either) I don’t completely agree with the idea of a “consistent life ethic” (where you’re against abortion AND war AND capital punishment, etc) but at least it’s, you know, consistent.

Conservatives worship Ayn Rand, who considered altruism the worst sin a human being could commit. Because it, you know, turned people into “takers”.
Fixed it for you:
Overturning Roe is a slippery slope. If we start allowing states to prohibit safe and effective medical procedures simply on ideological grounds, it might lead to a mass outbreak of other preventable diseases and worse healthcare outcomes for all Americans. It will lead to an outcome where human life is not treated as sacred. These are very troubling times.
A loony armed to the teeth enters a shopping mall in the US and starts shooting up the place. When cornered by police, the shooter grabs a nearby woman who is heavily pregnant and points a Desert Eagle loaded with .50 cal. Black Talon rounds at her belly: warning that if they don't leave he'll pull the trigger.

Why doesn't this sort of thing happen here in Britain: since 1996...?!
If from the moment sperm touches an egg it is a person, then that “person” can be charged with a crime. With recent proposed changes to how self-defense works in the United States a person claiming self defense does not have to prove they were in any kind of danger or that the force they used was reasonable and indeed that the court must presume the dead party is guilty without establishing a crime.
Frame abortion as self defense. With intent no longer a factor can you prove beyond a reasonable doubt that a baby can’t kill to the same standard the next of kin somebody “stood their ground” against must prove to clear the dead person’s name going forward?
Confused?
