I wouldn't consider paying extra taxes on behalf of employees political, no. Lobbying re immigration is a fair point though; I'd been considering this discussion in the context of companies pushing a political view onto their employees (per TFA) and lobbying is unrelated to that.

I'm not sure what issues you're referring to in your last para; I don't see any disputes over who's human. (I'm not in the US and am trying not to follow its politics too closely, in case it's contagious.)



It's referring to abortion arguments.


Ah, OK, slightly confusing choice of word then. As I see it the crucial question re abortion is when a clump of cells becomes a person; I don't think there's ever a stage where it's not (biologically) human.


People seem to use the noun (a human) fairly interchangeably with "a person".


Language and law both become very strange when we have non-person humans and non-human persons.
