>I don’t believe anybody actually thinks this way.

Oh, there are far too many people that do. I mostly call them the "Hell for you, heaven for me" bunch, the doublethink/cognitive dissonance in so many is very very strong.

“The Only Moral Abortion is My Abortion” is a common example of this behavior.

I think this is a deeply flawed interpretation of the original commenter's post. They are suggesting that we think very carefully about imposing our standards of what constitutes a "good" person on the unborn. I don't see the problem, honestly.

If humanity had the ability to think very carefully then the world would be a much different place.

The number one rule of thinking about the unborn would be thinking about those who are living first.
