Atheist Richard Dawkins Ignites Firestorm With ‘Pro-Abortion’ Tweets: ‘Any Fetus Is Less Human Than an Adult Pig’

Mar. 15, 2013 9:32am Billy Hallowell

Earlier this week, famed atheist activist and evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins took to Twitter to compare fetuses to adult pigs, subsequently igniting a firestorm. His initial comment and those that followed sparked a mixture of outrage and support from across the social media platform, with some finding his views horrific and other agreeing with him on the matter.

“With respect to those meanings of ‘human’ that are relevant to the morality of abortion, any fetus is less human than an adult pig,” he wrote on Wednesday.

Atheist Richard Dawkins Sends Pro Abortion Tweets: Fetus Is Less Human Than Adult Pig

Richard Dawkins

The reactions to this message were swift, ranging from claims that Dawkins’ statement was “silly” to outright anger. Comedian Joe Rogan wrote, “That’s silly. The outrage of abortion is that a fetus has the potential for human life. That’s obviously not true of a pig.” And SkyNews’ Chris Kenny added, “I followed you for rational thought not that sort of zealotry.”

Some critics, though, were a little less friendly, as The Christian Post notes:

Wesley J. Smith, senior fellow at the Discovery Institute’s Center on Human Exceptionalism immediately tore into Dawkins’ posts that claimed fetuses are less human than adult pigs. The lawyer wrote that the argument is “utter nonsense” even from a biological perspective, which is the atheist’s field.

“Indeed, he’d fail high school biology,” Smith said on LifeNews.

“The ability to ‘feel pain’ has nothing to do with ‘being human,’ biologically or morally. All mammals feel pain. And, of course, fetuses can be – and are – mourned by others, which again isn’t an exclusively human trait,” the lawyer continued, insisting that regardless of their stage of development, fetuses are “fully human” and should not be classified differently on a morality scale.

But, despite these critics, Dawkins wasn’t planning to back down. He followed this tweet up with others, corroborating his stance. In subsequent messages, the atheist activist noted that he was speaking about morality and abortion and that a fetus cannot feel pain and, thus, an adult pig — which can — is more “human” in nature.

“‘Human’ features relevant to the morality of abortion include ability to feel pain, fear etc & to be mourned by others,” he continued.

Later, Dawkins said that the most important moral question in the contemporary abortion debate is whether a fetus can feel pain. While he conceded that “late abortuses may,” he noted that a creature doesn’t have to be human to feel pain.

Despite this controversial statements, Dawkins threw out an olive branch to pro-lifers.

“Unlike many pro-choice friends, I think fetal pain could outweigh woman’s right to control her own body. But pig pain matters too,” he wrote.

He seemed to dismiss both absolute ideas — that a woman’s right to choose and abortion being entirely wrong both have their limits, as he contended that “pain matters too.”

Later on, Dawkins seemed dismayed by the reaction he received. He sent several tweets expressing his surprise. But rather than tempering the storm, he probably created more problems when he labeled himself “pro-abortion” (a title many avoid to keep from making themselves look like they lack compassion).

“Bizarre responses to my tweets today. I clearly expressed my strong pro-abortion views & many people decided that I must be anti-abortion!,” he later wrote, going on to clarify that he meant “pro-choice.”

I’m an atheist and I sure don’t think like Dawkins does. I believe it is a human life as soon as the sperm fertilizes the egg. The atheism part doesn’t matter here. Dawkins is just a monster and those come in all varieties.

We saw what happened at the DNC last year at the mere mention of putting God back in their platform. And with respect to this guy I’m replying to, an atheist without morals is not “shocking” news.

  As someone who is atheist (well, more agnostic), I’ve never understood the “a fetus isn’t not a human.” Technically, it’s just a developing human. It still is a human. It’s genetics don’t change when it’s born.
  
  It’s a weak argument for abortion. And this is coming from someone who is in favor of earlier term abortion.

  I am an atheist. I am also a biology teacher. I disagree with Dawkins 100%. At the instant of conception the fertilized egg is a human because it has a full human genome. Period. Being able to feel pain is immaterial to our human identity. If we follow through with Dawkin’s “logic,” then he ceases to be human once he is anesthetized for a surgical procedure. Therefore, it would not be murder if the physician decided to kill him at that time.
  
  By the way, for what is worth, as an atheist and as an American, I am keenly aware of how *important* religion (especially Christianity) is to our identity, culture (it’s part of our cultural DNA), and our values. My wife is a Buddhist from Thailand. My children (ages 12 and 16) are Buddhist. (I never told my children that I am an atheist – that’s a choice they can make when they grow up.) However, at our home, our family celebrates both Christmas and Easter. When we put up the Christmas tree, we also have on prominent display a most beautiful creche that is over 90 years old. During Christmas, we sing religious carols, too. Also, every year, on the last day of school prior to Christmas vacation, my high school biology class goes to administrative offices and classroom and sings Christmas songs (including religious ones! Please don’t complain that I stole educational time from my students. My students are tops in the state for biology scores on the state exam.) Not all atheists are in battle against Christianity. I embrace it. T

  I don’t know if atheism or scientific learning makes him think this way, but “pig pain” (and hopefully fetus pain as well) is your main reasoning against abortion? So if an organic thing doesn’t feel pain you have the right to kill it? I would think it’s kinda hard to measure ‘pain’ in an unborn anything, so even scientifically this doesn’t make sense, does it?

  But given the choice between his parent’s aborting HIM and the fact that he got to live I am sure he would approve of his parents decision to let him live. Only living hypocrites approve of abortion.

  He is also considered the Messiah of most Atheists as they quote his theory of ribbons of energy that were the origin of the Universe. According to him, these ribbons of energy have just always been there despite the scientific fact that our science is based on the fact that “energy can neither be created nor destroyed”. Dawkins comes up short on explaining how the energy got there in the first place. He is not only evil, he is psychotic in his hate of those who happen to believe in Intelligent design.

  I agree with you, and I’m both an Atheist and pro-choice! What I wish he would have done is opened up a discussion about what makes us ‘human’. Sure a fetus is alive, just as all animals are alive. But is it ‘human’? When does one become a human? A Christian has a ready made answer for this, but the rest of us need to work through it philosophical. I respect Dr. Dawkins in some ways, but stirring up controversy doesn’t get people talking, at least not in the way a crusading anti-theist would want.

I’ll say this. Without even entering into thw whole religious/moral part of the argument, the left lost the pro late-term abortion argument was lost almost two thousand years ago.

The Cesarian section operation was named for one of the Caesars. The legend has it that Julius Caesaer was born this way. (More than likley not true) The proceedure had been performed by farmers for centuries to save the new-born when the animals mother was dead or dying.

This was also done on human women. (Brutal yes. But it was done) One of the Caesars, (Julius? Who really cares) made it law that an attempt MUST be made if the mother was dead or dying. (This most often happened in child birth, however, the attempt was made, often successfully whenever the mother was late term, and met with accident, violence or terminal illness. The viability of the child was established, and an attempt to save the ‘citizen,’ was required.

Moral relativists can argue all they want, but the whole argument is based on a house of cards.

  On a Saturday a few weeks ago while I was walking down the hill to the mailbox I got goosebumps all over. A light cream colored windowless bus drove by, headed toward town. It had several dome bubbles on top along with some obvious antennas, and was simply marked on the side in black outlined gold lettering, FEMA. My thought that it was some sort of mobile command center.

  Recently I saw two very large sand colored canvas covered military vehicles drive through the very small E. Texas town that I live near. The drivers and one passenger in each truck were dressed in camouflage. There isn’t a military base within 100 miles of where I live so this is unusual though it did happen once (that I know about) last summer.

Any fetus is more of a man than Richard Dawkins. He thinks fetuses can’t feel pain? Is he a Neo natologist or neurologist? Probably just his over inflated ego that what he thinks should be true, to support his ideas, must be true. Stupid self righteous murderers. They will be harrowed up with pain through eternity for all the murders they committed and supported when they meet the people they killed after they die.

  Dawkins is quite shrewd. He is setting himself up with quite a case load as an animal rights attorney.

  Perhaps, but he’s still a vile creature no matter how one looks at it. Bleh!

I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just.

As an adult pig himself, Richard Dawkins surely knows about such things!

It’s too bad that Richard Dawkins has less intelligence than a baby pig. Of course that’s what the liberal community wants. That’s why he is so exalted in liberal circles.

Dawkins sounds exactly like every other obama-democrat/liberal – this is exactly what they believe – this is what obama believes.

He’s a twisted and sick individual. One of the first avenues in genocide and murder is to dehumanize your victims. Serial killers do this. They portray them as animals, or in this sick f#$%’s case, less than animals. Turn infanticide into a simple medical procedure, turn a baby into a lump of parasitic tissue, and turn their souls and minds into sociopaths.

Who really gives a Rats A@@ what his intellectual idiot has to say. Can someone explain to me what this man has contributed to our society?

  He’s a waste of precious oxygen if you ask me.

  I beg to differ on the thought that this piece of human waste is ‘INTELLECTUAL”.

  Thanks. That’s pretty much the answer I was looking for. I just needed confirmation.

And at that point, Mr. Dawkins lost all credibility.

(Not everyone can notate their pivot point so precisely)

  He’s right. The only thing that makes human life more valuable than any other form of life is our human minds. You can’t develop a human mind until after you are born and start perceiving the world by means of your senses. A fetus can’t develop a mind because it has nothing to think about. A pig has more of a mind, therefore, more of a right to life than a fetus.

  Who made you the arbiter of value? Ask the mother what value she would place on her own developing baby at any stage. She would kill you or sacrifice her own life to save her new born or nearly born.
  You epitomize the very reason elitist socialism is dangerous and always fails to improve life and must be demolished. The few of you who believe you know best also believe you have the right to dictate to the rest of us how things should and will be.
