Seriously though, have I not been clear?
Is "zygote/fetus = human (individual)" ambiguous in some way that I'm not aware of? What am I missing here?
A foetus is human but not an individual. It is entirely dependent on another person's body for it's life support. Moreover such putative rights as a foetus has do not outweigh the rights of the actual individual carrying it.
I would like to ask you and every other person in opposition to abortion, how you contribute to creating a sociaty in which a mother or father can have a amily or be a single mum or dad without facing finacial ruin.
One reason why abortion was legalised under a leftwing goverment here, was due to the social stigmatising which single mums received from conservatives.
