Pro-choice people: Can nursing mothers without access to formula kill newborns?

[Kingpoleon]

Compared to infanticide?  I think it's fairly obvious who's not being serious here.

No, compared to breastfeeding.

You can't even parse your own analogy properly, how sad.  No wonder they no longer include analogies on the SAT; kids today never learn how to handle them. Here, let me help you.

Here is the analogy you are making,
carrying to term : abortion :: breastfeeding : infanticide

You're comparing abortion to infanticide and carrying to term with breastfeeding.

Of course, your analogy ignores the fact that with our current capabilities, the only  way to not carry a fetus to term is by abortion, whereas there are many alternative results to not breastfeeding a child other than infanticide and the use of formula.

My analogy, as a response to the violinist argument, is not absolutely practical in nature; nor is what it refutes. Theoretical morality, rather different from in practice.

Since you're basing your argument solely on theory and ignoring the real world, would it be safe to say you're either an economist or a sociologist? (Or even worse, a political scientist!!!!)

Philosophy and debate, even with abortion, often revolves around theoretical questions.

Theory is necessary but definitely not sufficient.
