I'm not sure, really. Maybe the abortionist should get some sort of fine or his medical license taken away for performing an illegal procedure.
I personally never liked that argument because even a protohuman deserves more respect than that of a parasite. Howevre, when push comes to shove, and an important decision must be made, nobody like you should be allowed to lord the idea you got by wishful interpretation from a 2000-year-old, cobbled-together book written by goat-herds for people of no better intellectual depth. This has never been justice, and it never would be. Whatever you may wish to say about the fetus, it's completely irrelevant while all of its life functions draw off the mother as the host. Until it breathes and processes its own food, it's no baby, it's just an extension of the mother's own body!
Ok. Can we make love now?
"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."
