Yes we are. That's the thing you are missing. Up to 40% of fetuses are aborted biologically by a woman's body.

You can't say that's going to be a person.

My cousin experienced a stillbirth with her first pregnancy.

If this shit is so important why aren't we directing billions of dollars into medical research to make sure no fetuses are discarded naturally by a woman's body?

It's not even a concern. Not even a blip on the radar. Why?

No we're not. We're talking about a possible human. Hey here's another possible human: If I impregnated you our possible child would be born and live for decades and do all kinds of cool things.

So we gotta do it. Because if we don't we're killing that possible person.

It would be robbing them of their chance at living for being a temporary inconvenience.

If you don't let me impregnate you, you are robbing our possible child at the chance of living. I know it's a temporary inconvenience for you to let me fuck the shit out of you numerous times. But for that child's sake you're just going to have to put up with it.

Stomping on a cockroach is terminating a life. We don't have laws against it. Because it's not a person. Nor is aborting a fetus terminating a human. It's just aborting a fetus.

Unlike slave, I'm quite happy with the law as it stands, with abortion legal before an age of sentience.

Aborting a fetus is terminating a human life. That's not up for discussion. It's the current scientific claim.

Yes, it is up for discussion.

Aborting a fetus is not terminating a human life. You are PREDICTING it's going to be a human life.

You can't make that claim.

There's only potential there. Not certainty.

Otherwise if anyone ever "cock blocks" a dude from having sex with a female you might have just "killed" a future person.

You don't know if that encounter was going to lead to pregnancy.

I agree. You can't kill something on the future. But I keep reaffirming the scientific position: that a zygote + is human life.

We've already covered contraception, and I've stated my opinion which is that this isn't terminating a life, but preventing it.

Actually, we are talking about a hypothetical future person. The fact that its a developing human is irrelevant.

We don't have rights because we are human. We have rights because we exist as people.

Brain = person.
No brain = not a person.

Can we please put the "well, technically it's a human life" argument to rest?

*rolls eyes* Yes, Fr0d0, it's genetically a Homo sapiens. Genetically my severed finger is a Homo sapiens.

But it's not a person. It's just biological material with Homo sapiens DNA.

And we keep trying to explain to you that this is an irrelevant argument.

It's not even a concern.

Natural abortions occur for very good reason in a lot of cases. None of these concern me because no human decided to abort them.

And there is quite a bit of investment in IVF etc.

Fuck yeah they are. For GOOD REASONS.

Manually done abortions are done for good reasons too. For damn good reasons.

It's not flippant for a woman to elect abortion. It's not casual. It's done for very good fucking reasons. A woman would never do it otherwise.
