For the pro-life perspective often the far right do not have enough care or consideration for the woman. There isn't enough active, hands on work to remedy the poverty that often leads to abortion. However, from the pro-choice perspective often the far left would rather protect salmon eggs or endangered species than human life. The far right neglects women, the far left neglects the fetus. Who is the more vulnerable and voiceless in this situation? Who is the victim? Should a fetus be aborted because they are autistic or a female? Or after their heart has started beating. In my opinion, no. It's a question of values. Mine have been influenced by this teaching, it's often called Catholicism best kept secret, it as social teaching.
The premise of the pro-choice argument is that a fetus isn't technically alive yet, and even if it was, affording it the same rights as any other person still wouldn't give it the right to use someone else's body to sustain their life without that person's consent. To say that we care more about endangered species than we do fetuses ignores not only the basis of the argument, but also the point of conservation efforts and why your comparison doesn't stand up. After all, losing an entire species forever is rather a more powerful loss than s single bundle of cells, no?
Sorry dude, but you've missed the point on every conceivable level, here.
