I remember growing up as a kid, doing my time in Sunday School, and getting this story pitched as “Wise King Solomon ferret’s out the truth of maternity by determining which claimant truly cares about the life of the child”.
It’s kinda crazy how the story has permuted into “Two women fight over a thing and both agree splitting it in half is the fair solution.”
What I like about the story is that true motherhood isn’t about biology or DNA but about caring. And I get why even people who care about the well-being of a child wouldn’t care about the well-being of an atom
