Another apology — "apology"? — from Scott Adams — this time about who's entitled to have/express an opinion about whether abortion should be legal.
I would like to apologize for suggesting today that it is a bad idea for children to influence the political and medical decisions of adults. Based on the comments I got on Twitter, I now believe they can't do any worse than adults.— Scott Adams (@ScottAdamsSays) January 22, 2019
I've heard him express his opinion about who should determine whether women have access to abortion. He's been saying that the answer should be what women decide is the right answer, because only women get pregnant. So he'll defer to women and he recommended that all men and all children shut up about it and, in any case, he's not interested in what anyone other than adult women think.
I've always had a problem with his idea because he jumps to saying that the majority of women should make the decision that should then bind all women. But why? I'm not even sure he's recognized that he's making a big jump there. Under the current law, where there is a right to have an abortion, no woman is required to have an abortion, and all women get to choose for themselves. 100% of women get decision-making power over their own bodies.
Under a majority-of-women approach, abortion could be outlawed, 50% + 1 get to make the choice for everyone, and presumably that group includes mostly people who would not choose an abortion for themselves, so nearly 100% of the women who want to have the power to make the decision with respect to their body (and only their body) would have their preference overridden by outsiders to their body.
But today, with his "apology," he seems to have forgotten his own reasoning. He's not talking anymore about who is most interested in the question of the legality of abortion and giving the power to women because only women can get pregnant, he's switched to who's smart and who's dumb. Let the smartest people decide. In the comments to his own tweet he adds — responding to "At what age would you allow opinions on the important issues of the day?" — "Apparently it doesn't matter. I have learned today that voters don't get smarter over time."
I know he's being funny, sort of. But abortion is completely unfunny. Adams has had a work-around to having an opinion, and he hasn't even seriously examined his work-around. I understand the fun and the freedom of exiting into comedy whenever you like. But we are talking about a profound matter of life and death, and many people believes abortion is murder, and many people (sometimes the same people!) believe that access to abortion is crucial to the equality of women.
By the way, the very next thing in my Twitter feed was an ad for a horror movie that plays on the primal fear of the intrusion of the baby into to the life of a woman:
