It's for atheists/liberals to tell us why, if killing babies with beating hearts 3 months after their birth is wrong, killing those same babies with beating hearts 3 months before is. And since both of them are human beings, and all human beings intrinsically have the Natural Right to Life, it necessarily follows it's as wrong to kill one as to kill the other. Either, therefore, none of them ought to be protected, and either of them can be killed, or rather, neither of then can be rightly killed, and both of them ought to be protected.
But these aren't the same babies three months before that they are three months after birth. You are using same in the sense of possessing an identity that is the same when what is relevant is whether they are developmentally the same and possess the same political rights. So this is an equivocation and your argument is invalid.
As Boru already said, and I'll repeat:
1) is ipse dixit and therefore invalid;
2) is a false equivalence as born babies and the elderly can be dependent on others, and in a different way, and enjoy some limited autonomy; not so of the foetus, so this is a false equivalence;
3) guilt by association is an invalid argument, not to mention is a rather despicable one;
All your arguments are invalid.
Oh, I forgot your religious argument. Do you think that others should be forced to obey the strictures of a religion to which they do not belong?
