You know, from human standards, people can get away with just about any kind of dreadful treatment towards other humans, so long as those in power come to an agreement that the afflicted people aren't actually thought of as "people." Abortion's accepted so long as the unborn child is considered a mere fetus (although I'm not sure how they justify things with the new president's ways) and back in the days of slavery the slaves weren't people, but merely property. It's easy! ...and a really pathetic cop out.
