I'm not going to repeat it. This is not about victory or defeat, this is about earnest conversation. And you are signally refusing to have an earnest discussion.
I will not ever make the mistake of taking you for being sincere again.
I did not win anything. I lost a bit of time, and any confidence that you are willing to engage on an honest conversation. I hope everyone who has read this exchange keeps this is in mind when they deal with you.

Unless the fetus' father is a rapist? If a fetus is "its own person" somehow - then so is one, that's a result of a rape - that clump of cells is no different, than the "regular" pregnancy. Yet you are happy to deny those "babies" ( ) the right to "grow up and make decisions by itself on whether it want to live or die or whatever". What did those fetuses do to you, or anybody? Can we also kill actual newborn babies, if they were fathered by rapists? No? Why not? According to you - they are no different from a few-weeks-old fetus. I'm not pro-life or pro-choice. I support doing what is the most fair course of action in any scenario.
It would be inhumane to force a woman to carry a child of her rapist, so I condemn it.
It would not be fair for a baby to be killed because of a "whoopsie", so I condone it.
There is no exact formula or exact course of action regardless of any circumstance, each circumstance is different and the action that is the most humane should be performed.

More inhumane than killing? A baby? Which is what you apparently believe abortion to be.

But it's "fair" to "kill a baby" because of some dude's crime?

How exactly do you measure and compare humanity? Is 9 months of suffering (plus whatever long term psychological consequences) of a woman worth more than a whole life of a human being?

I have no real comments to add to this age-old debate but out of curiosity, what is plural for a fetus?
"Fetuses" just sounds awkward to me, is "fetii" more correct?

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie

No. Only if the crime is rape and it results in a pregnancy.

Depends on the circumstances.
I don't know what you're trying to pull here but this is pretty basic stuff. It doesn't take a genius to figure out it's not fair for a woman to be forced to carry a child of her rapist neither does it take a genius to figure out aborting babies because of trivial reasons like "soory whoops! lol" are not fair for the baby either.

Pool, say technology was developed to transfer a fetus to a man to carry. Meanwhile, a mother somewhere is unable to carry a fetus to term. Would you support forcing the father to carry it?

A valiant thought exercise. Betwixt (new word to piss off Iroscato) all this you are better off talking to a pigeon.

I know he was dishonest about this subject ages ago. Since the last time a debate about abortion popped up.
