I was just recently bragging in the staff lounge about our impressive lack of abortion thread and you come to shit in my Apple Jacks.
IMO rights should go to humans that have been born and are still alive.
I have stated why i started 3 threads, they all ask different questions, and one thread gets clogged with 3 different questions so I felt it best to keep each question seperate. You can answer one without having anything to do with the others, they are independent questions.
Only 1 of the threads argues directly ABOUT abortion, and that is asking for other's opinoins on why it SHOULD be justified,, not why it shouldn't
Glad you gave a response, I would ask in return (if we are to have a conversation) what is fundamental about birth? IE in the moment prior to emerging from the canal does the baby have rights? While still attached to the umbilical cord while the placenta is still in the womb, the infant is still "dependent" on the mother, has it been born? does it have rights? can it be killed until it is detached from the cord?
People don't like to thnk hard about these questions, but I suppose the underpin bigger questions. Just wanted to see where your argument led and what you thought about it. Again having a discussion or dialogue (2 people talking). you do't have to respond, but would be interested in your answer.
There's really no need to think hard about it. Just look up the definition to birth.
