>I'm not sure where you get this from.
Because that's what this entire discussion is about?
You do get that we're not talking about killing living people, right? At least if you're willing to say that an abortion isn't a living person, hence why I assumed that was your position lol
To be clear: I don't think it's progressive to round up mentally ill people and "terminate" them. I never said that. Nobody here is saying that. That's not what is being discussed in this thread by anyone.
>This is, literally, the reason the Nazis terminated the mentally ill
Sure, and it's also the reason we allow cops to use deadly force when necessary, or allow the military to kill enemy combatants, or, in some places, allow people to commit suicide in humane ways. It turns out, sometimes, someone dying is the best choice for society as a whole. It's not a pleasant reality, but it's inescapable.
Again, "progressivism" doesn't mean "only ever do things which are universally accepted as being good," it just means to make progress in the human condition through reforms aimed at increasing positive liberty [1]. That doesn't mean "don't ever ever kill anyone because it's bad to kill and makes people sad :(".
But, again, we're talking about abortion here. I'd love for you to explain how the right to abortion, for any reason, is actually not a progressive idea.
