>I'm not sure if I'm eloquent enough define what makes humans higher thinking creatures than animals though.
Religion, unironically. That's the big difference between humans and animals.
>In a discussion about banning contraceptives, you argue in favor of telling people to simply not have sex instead.
Yeah because it's the only 100% effective way to
NOT have a child. As I pointed out, even if you do everything "correctly" with contraceptives, there's still a
chance that a child could be the result of it. That doesn't argue for or against using them, it's just stating a fact that sex results in the possibility of a kid. So if you don't want a kid, then don't have sex. Everything else is a dice roll of varying chance.
>That is not a part of the development of a fetus.
The sperm fertilizing the egg is "not" an important development for the fetus?
>You outright reject that consciousness might not yet exist, even in a single celled zygote that has yet to develop a braincell
No, it exists in some form. I just see is as non-consequential since cells die all the time. Skin cells die, blood cells die, brain cells die, all cells die because the individual cell doesn't matter. However a fetus is the result of two cells (A sperm and an egg) combing to create something bigger than both.
>So people should have kids before they have personal security, employment, resources, health, and property? Before they have love?
According to the pyramid, yes. As far as my personal opinion, I don't know. On the one hand, it's best to have things like security and love to provide a safe and stable environment to raise the kid in. On the other hand, like I stated earlier, the reality of having a child could be the motivating factor in said couple achieving a secure and stable level, in addition to their combined efforts create a love that wouldn't have existed had they not struggled together.

>Sperm is made in the testacles. Cum is largely made in the prostate, and precum is made in the Cowper's gland.
Ah,
THAT'S where I fucked up. Because I remember reading somewhere about how you can still "cum" after a vasectomy even though it's literally sterile.

>You can't "prove" that a miscarriage is intentional rather than accidental unless someone goes on social media and posts "getting this fetus gone today brb stairs".
Anon, people talk.
>SO this leaves a law that is either generally unenforceable but is still on the books which means that someone can whip it out for lawfare at some future time to go after someone the government considers undesirable
Anon, we live in a country we're you're innocent until proven guilty. So the prosecution would have to prove, without a shadow of a doubt, that the woman "forced" a miscarriage.
