New Iowa Law Restricts Abortion To Before Most Women Know They're Pregnant
RE: New Iowa Law Restricts Abortion To Before Most Women Know They're Pregnant
(May 16, 2018 at 11:02 pm)Rev. Rye Wrote: The comparison lies in the fact that I see fetuses and acorns as being potential humans and trees, but not yet actual trees. And as someone who's grown a few avocado trees from seeds, I'd say it truly becomes an actual plant when the seed finally germinates, and I'd say a fetus becomes an actual human either at birth, or if I'm feeling generous, around the same time its brain develops the ability to sense, which tends to be somewhere around the beginning of the third trimester.
A better analogy is a speck of sand is not a sand castle or A chunk of marble is a potential statue .
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.
