Abortions

[Violet]

You are not the carpenter, you are 1 of the 2 components of the plywood.

You are not the gun, you are 1 part of the metal alloy.

That fetus needs you until it is self sufficient, that is not what a limb is.

Alright in your analogy: I am what generates the plywood. The other component simply started my generating by adding the missing ingredient

No, the combination of both are what generates the plywood. 50% of the components to produce it (dna) is brought in by the man. Women need men just as much for babies as men need women.

The missing half of the ingredients then. If you could incubate and support a growing fetus in a laboratory: it would be equal rights.

But in using the mother as a 9 month carrier: she has not only 9 months more rights than the father... but she has the right of it growing inside her as a part of her.

A limb needs me just as much as a fetus: without me they would both be lifeless masses of organic matter

Neither your limb or a fetus is lifeless. it's ability to sustain that life by itself however changes over time for the fetus, not for the hand.

I was referring to 'lifeless' in the sense that it does not sustain itself. Once the fetus can sustain itself: it is just a parasitic lifeform until it is ejected by the mother. An abortion isn't murder until a growing baby is fully capable of being born... until then it is no more 'alive' to me than is my hand.

Eventually, a fetus could become a life of its own after about 9 months of being a part of my body...

Could be much less, third trimester is already enough. Not advisable, but possible.

True to that point. I was referring to the natural birth cycle with that statement
