Abortion and Women's Rights

[Losty]

Did you guys miss this?

Of course it does. All definitions of personhood have problems. That's why it gets discussed and people end up with different opinions.

I already acknowledged that DNA has problems. I could alter it to DNA plus another factor - and that would still have problems. Consciousness and self-awareness have been proposed by others. They have their merits, but one could also show problems with them. Each person chooses as they see fit. Different people give different weights to different factors. What's the problem? I don't get why you're all having trouble dealing with this.

I think my problem is that a slobbery cotton swab has DNA but that doesn't make it a person or give it rights.

If all you have are your opinions, then all you have is a right to make decisions for yourself only.
