"Ohhh, look how I tricked this dumb dumb baby in my trap so now I am right and they are wrong. I'm so smaaart even though it does not adress the actual argument and adds nothing to the debate. They teach arabic numerals in school btw."

And these type of comments always get tons of likes

It does point out how they are clearly biased: They do not even recognize fetuses at humans, they only BELIEVE so. They do not think so because they know it is an undeniable truth, they only want it to be true.

First, dolphin and human fetuses look really similiar.

Secondly, yes, it's their opinion that fetuses are human beings. But what does you tricking them with the dolphin fetus prove now?

If a human fetus is at a stage in development where they're near-indistinguishable from a dolphin fetus, maybe pro-lifers should reconsider at what point a fetus becomes "human", for lack of a better word.
