Applying the S.L.E.D test


In both the Manhattan Declaration class and the nascent WorldMovers class, issues of sanctity of life often come up. Dove Mountaineer Kay Long has supplied a link here to an article which advocates countering the arguments of pro-choicers with the charge that their position is idscriminatory on the basis of (here's where the S.L.E.D. comes in):

S = Size (You think the baby should be aborted because it's tiny?)
L = Level of dependency (You think it should be killed because it's less developed than a toddler, who is less developed than an adult?)
E = Environment (You think the baby is less valuable because of where it lives?)
D = Degree of Dependency (You think that anyone who is only dependent on one other person is worhty of death?)
