Abortion not allowed

[Jenny A]

Ah, this is the argument where I get off the pro abortion bus. I'm not sure when that collection of cells becomes a person, only that it's pretty late and it has to do with brain development not cute pictures. But we give children special rights. We give them the right to housing, food, and education. We don't offer those as rights to grown-ups. Why? Because they can't be expected to do that for themselves until they reach maturity.

I wouldn't call these 'special rights', we prevent them from dying by allowing these things. Just like how we look after people when they are sick in hospital, those aren't special rights, they are necessities.
I don't view using someone else's body to survive as a necessity

For a fetus the use of mom's body is as necessary as anything can possibly be. The question is whether it's moral to require mom to provide that necessity. I say once mom has allowed the fetus to become developmentally a human, it is. Similarly if she delivers the fetus and takes the baby home, she is morally required to care for it.

We would like society to take care of those in the hospital, but we don't assign that duty to anyone in particular and indeed it need not be done by anyone in particular.
