A foetus has the right to life because it is a potential human being.
I foetus is not just a part of a woman's body like a leg or arm it is a separate person with a right to life.
Abortion contradicts the Hippocratic Oath that doctors take it states " I will maintain the utmost respect for human life, from the time of conception.
It doesn't say that. Please cite a credible sorce for your assertion.
Quote:People should take responsibility for their actions, when a woman has sex she may get pregnant and bring a foetus into existence, she therefore has a duty to take care of it.
No, she doesn't - you have provided no justification other than your error above.
Quote:There are laws against euthanasia so why can't there be laws against abortions.
There can be, and there are. Just not everywhere.
Quote:if there are mental or social problems or disability surrounding the conception the parents and child should be treated with compassion, it is not compassion to take an innocent life.
You still haven't provided a justification for a fertilized egg being a human being.
Quote:Some women/couples cannot have children, it is better to have a child adopted rather than killed.
Better for whom? Women are not brood mares.
Quote:Hopefully this makes you happy.
No, it doesn't.

Is the beginning of the human life cycle quite apart from the rest of the process inside and outside of the mother's womb. So it's not only rational, but publicly accepted by medical professionals.
It is not a person.
Quote:On the other hand, esq has argued vociferously that God would be acting immorally in talking the lives of babies. It's an amusing double standard. And serves to show the weakness with which he regards his own argument.
If murder is the illegal taking of life, then most abortions aren't murder in the eyes of the the law. The morality of the act can always be considered, no matter what the legal position, and that's mostly a decision owned by the patents, being the only ones in a position to know.
It is not a person, so it is not even manslaughter.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.
