Yes, a zigote is a human.
But sometimes it's better for all involved that that particular human doesn't get to develop to become a baby.
Sometimes, it happens naturally, the woman's body just rejects it. If I take Heywood's stance to its fullest, this could come to be defined as involuntary manslaughter...
But the cases we're discussing here are when it's a conscious decision that is made (mostly) by the woman.... which would become voluntary manslaughter.
Do note that, for the most part, women who get pregnant, do so willingly and with the purpose of actually having the child, raising it to become an adult and have s/he's own children.
So, the few who get pregnant but don't want to have the child, for whichever reasons, according to Heywood, should be under arrest for manslaughter...
I view abortion as the correction of a mistake. A mistake that happened for the most various reasons, but a mistake, nonetheless...
People make mistakes, there are ways to correct those mistakes, why not take advantage of that?
Why block access to those corrections and force people to endure, for life, a mistake done once?
And don't appeal to the abortion in the past of someone who is around us, today. Someone whose mother never chose to abort, someone whose mother wished to live and grow.
We are talking about "future people" whose mothers do not wish them to be born in the first place.
Have you ever dealt with orphan kids?
Kids from abusive families whose parents say out loud that they never wanted them?
Would you wish that on anyone?
Is it not better to let the woman correct her mistake and carry on with her life, so that, if she so wishes, she can have a kid at a more appropriate time of her life, a more conducent to the well being of the child and future adult member of society... is this not a better option, at least, on average?
