That argument being this: is an unborn entity with human DNA a human being? Since you are comparing him/her to a cancerous tumor, I'd say you probably don't think so. I do. And so if we wanted to have a well organized, thorough debate on abortion, we'd have to start there.
No No No, the argument is about a person having a choice about what goes on within their own body, the choice is the persons regardless of if its a tumor or a fetus.
But then again, I think there is enough difference surrounding the circumstances and nature of a tumor vs that of a fetus, to make all the difference.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
