1. When a girl/woman is raped and ends up pregnant.
2. Same as above but the girl is 10-14 years old
3. As above, but the case is incest
4. COntinuing the pregnancy puts the mother's life at high risk
5. Severe abnormality of the fetus.
6. As 5., but the fetus likely live but require medical care all of its life, and will be severly brain damaged.
1-3 are irrelevant. A woman's body has ways of shutting that whole thing down

What is a human being? A human being is a being of the species human. You can look at elementary texts to see what is scientifically considered to be a human being.
Actually what constitutes a human being is debated more often than you think. That's why I like to use the word person.
I didn't ask you what is a human being.
I asked you what is your criteria for something to be a human being. Why is that so hard?
Hopefully this year womens' hands will be used to shut down idiots like that when they vote.
