Molloy went on to respond to the sentence:
"A fetus is a human.".
His response was redundant in that he used arguments
already well known in the E-prime issue. He did not
respond to my point that someone could just as easily
say:
"A fetus has the same rights as a human.",
my obvious point being that by shifting to E-prime,
the argument has not changed very much, hardly at all.
So, again, the value of advocating E-prime seems
questionable.
There, that was all in E-prime... Woops! Darn!
