  Nah they’re pretty sapient

  Sapience is about applying wisdom, knowledge, intelligence. Babies are not sapient. Did you mean sentient?

  killing babies, unless it’s like baby Hitler doesn’t really serve any purpose (human pleasure is happiness, and maximisation of happiness is purpose)

  And yet if someone’s only source of happiness in life was killing babies, I am sure you would be against that.

  I take it you’re anti-abortion too then?

  Abortion rights only relate tangentially to sapience and sentience. Even if the lump of cells inside a womb was sentient and sapient I would still be pro-choice, since abortion is about bodily autonomy. But think about why you would assume I am against abortion rights. Did that maybe make it easier to dismiss my entire point?
