Abortion is morally wrong

[bennyboy]

A fetus is not a person. You have provided zero evidence to show that a fetus is a person. You have made no attempt to show that a fetus is a person.
You have also given no reason why a being with human DNA should have a right to live if it is not a person.

I'm sorry. I'm pro-choice, or at least pro-pro-choice. But appealing to evidence in this case is silly. We're talking about an arbitrary line in the sand, and people can draw it wherever they want.

If you are talking about evidence that an entity can feel pain, or can interact with its environment, or can sustain itself outside the womb, then that's fine. But defining a person in any of those terms is no less arbitrary.

Human, yes. Being, no. Or at least there is some grey ground along the continuum of egg, blastula, gastrula, embryo, zygote, fetus, baby. I agree that there should be a line at some point where personhood emerges along with the rights granted that status. But it is a fuzzy grey line placed arbitrarily and seemingly without reflection by anti-choicers at conception.

Maybe it's because it's the only completely non-arbitrary event, and therefore the only definition that does not allow for moral gray areas or ambiguity.
