A secular arguement for the alteration of existing abortion law
#30
RE: A secular arguement for the alteration of existing abortion law
I don't buy anything you say.  Morality is largely a personal sense of what should be but you, no matter how much you strive to deny it, seem intent on applying it to this specific matter of law.  The law has determined that a fetus becomes a person at birth.  That is good enough for me even if I could quibble with the concept of viability.

Here's an example.  A pregnant woman is the only survivor of a plane crash.  She promptly goes into labor and gives birth and then bleeds to death from complications.  Is the former fetus a person?  I would say "yes."  Is it "viable?"  No.  Without virtually immediate rescue - something which is not in the scenario - it will be dead in short order.
