That&#x27;s the thing though: they <i>are</i> different, and applying some thought will bring to light the way in which they are different. But most people who are against these things apply their efforts at conflating them due to their similarities, not understanding the importance of the differences.<p>Just look at the way abortion arguments go. You can&#x27;t just go around saying &quot;abortion is murder&quot; and &quot;a fetus is a person&quot; without completely failing to consider the ways in which you could be wrong. And that&#x27;s fairly easy to do, because there are plenty of people trying to tell you otherwise.
