"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

Yeah? That doesn’t make it a good argument.

Looks aren’t what makes human life important. A koala bear looks like a bear, that doesn’t make it one.

But understanding what is and isn't a human is absolutely crucial if you're discussing whether a fetus is a human or not.
