This is a generic version of my opinion on late term abortion. It's made up from parts of comments from other threads. If beating the dead fetus is going to be a thing I'm just going to post this in every abortion thread. If I'm going to sound like a broken record I might as well just literally repeat the exact same thing every time.
If I must give an opinion, I don't think a fetus' right to live should ever trump a woman's right to ownership and control over her own body
To much of "the abortion debate" is decided by emotional appeals based on the physical similarity of a fetus to an infant.
"Future personhood" does not exist. Too often I hear, often from teenage mothers, that if their (coincidentally teenage mother) had chosen not to have them, they would not exist.
Which is technically correct, but it assumed the person having the thought existed prior to their own viable conception to the same extent that they're able to make such an observation.
It's a romantic, highly emotional idea, but it's also a thought error. If a zygote or fetus is aborted, by natural or artificial processes, there is no "I." There's nothing there to develop a sense of self. The selfhood of a fetus only exists because adults can imagine their conception and being carried to term. It hasn't happened yet, that "self" would never have been.
Your average "pro lifer" has consumed 2.5 chicken embryos before making an argument about the sacrosanct nature of human life, gobbled them down without a second thought, and got on with their day.
But then again, I'm a biased non-breeder.
