Discussion Table Stakes

See: DiscussionTableStakes

To have a productive discussion about abortion, the table stakes might be:

  1. Try to minimize the number of abortions that happen each year.
  2. Try to minimize the number of unwanted births that happen each year.
  3. Try to maximize bodily autonomy of sapient beings.
  4. Recognize and accept that the human condition includes occasional bouts of bad judgment.
