Following up on the acronym SLED (What To Say and How To Say It by Brandon Vogt.) where S is for Size. L is for Level of development. E is for Environment. D is for Dependency.
Level of Development: Here the pro-choice activist argues that a “fetus cannot think or feel pain.” One might then ask if born people with developmental disabilities are not human beings. Are born people who cannot think clearly or feel pain are not persons. Then there is the scientific fact that human brains are not fully developed until around the age of 25. Are we any less human beings until we reach that age?
Thus, Level of Development is not a reason to dismiss the unborn as not being persons. This criterion is not unique and applies to many born people that we do not dismiss in this way. So we are still left asking the pro-choice advocate, why is a human being in the womb denied the right to life?
In Christ, Ken.
