atheism and children

[Catholic_Lady]

I'm not saying they realize they're doing it, or that they understand what they're doing. But nonetheless, a person running after you with a knife, trying to stab you to death, is still a person running after you with a knife trying to stab you to death.

We're not talking about what weapon this mentally impaired innocent might use against you, if they even have an implement in their hand at all, we're talk about intent.  I understand you to have said that an embryo in an ectopic pregnancy doesn't intend to kill its mother, therefore the mother/doctor is not justified in directly aborting it.  Well, likewise, the innocent doesn't intend to kill their victim, so why is it acceptable (again, to use your words, "tragic not immoral") to directly kill the innocent but not the embryo?

Well obviously it's not about the weapon. I was using an example of a scenario. When a person is coming after you, trying to kill you, you have the right to defend yourself regardless of whether or not that person is consciously aware of the fact that they are trying to kill you. That is up for the courts and medical professionals to decide. I have already explained that I think this is different from a baby growing in the wrong place. Don't know what else to tell ya if you honestly don't see the difference that I see.
