Far from cultural relativism, it's utilitarianism for most of us.
That would be an infinitely worse reason to support something than cultural relativism.
Of course that's not actually the reason, is it? It's part of the uniform: an extreme position supported by people who are absolutely not extreme because said position is the one that they are supposed to have. The less actual thought involved the better.
Obviously this is a generic comment about abortion as an issue in American politics and so applies equally to both sides...
False, I see no reason why parents shouldn't be allowed to determine what child they'd like to raise. If they don't want to have a daughter, they shouldn't be forced to come up with a different justification from the government as to why they want to have an abortion. Explain to me how this position comes from thoughtless behavior.
Surely you know that I don't mean a pure form of utilitarianism. It's a form of utilitarianism that reaches a certain ends that is amenable to progressive principles.
