Sickday: Details, please ... this is no fun unless you give me something to work with.

• The standard abortion theory is that before a fetus can be considered a legal person, it must first be considered a separate biological entity. Saletan's argument is that the fetus is not separate biologically, because the mother's body (especially in the earliest stages) is doing all the work. I replied that just because the earliest embryo is getting a free ride doesn't mean there isn't a rider there. That contradicts Saletan's point.
• Saletan argues, for example, that when the embryo becomes a twin, that proves that it isn't an individual, and therefore distinct from the mother. I replied that being a single individual doesn't matter, what matters is that the entity (and/or entities) is/are distinct from the mother, however many there are. That contradicts Salestan's point.

Without repeating my original article, let's pause there. Do you disagree that my points contradict Saletan, whether you agree with them or not?
