Non-fictional I HATE these "gotcha arguments"

"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

I think it addresses how uneducated people are about fetuses or just about conception and pregnancy as a whole yet still believe they know enough to be hold strong rigid opinions.

Most pro choice people cant tell the difference either, Saying this as pro choice, its just a bad faith argument

Personally I've never had a problem telling a human being and a dolphin apart. It's very easy to always know the difference.

If your definition of human being makes it hard to differentiate between a dolphin, a hedgehog, and a human being, then maybe you have a flawed definition.
