Knowledge i guess...  Some cesarian births are done for the sole reason of pussy stretch. Look it up if u don't believe me. A vagina changes totally after childbirth

I established that conscious act was a part of it in my argument already

The Grand Nudger Wrote:It may even be that consciously causing pain isn't enough to establish that something is an immoral act

I made this clear in my argument. It must be a conscious act that causes harm for it to be immoral. Yes there are some rare acceptations
An unconscious act causing harm is usually an accident

I tend to still follow the morals of scripture seeing its got western society this far and there isn't much wrong with it. 
Some atheist want to scrap all that. How then would we define what is moral without it just becoming peoples subjective opinions?

3 minutes into this video has a good explanation of how to discern a moral act from an immoral one without using religion.

I didn't assert that all abortions were immoral, Im just showing how some can be viewed by people as immoral
Your statement that not all abortions are immoral shows me that you are aware how some abortions can be immoral

We won't change each others minds but it looks like we understand each other i think. That's really all i can hope to achieve, understanding

Don’t weasel out. You said that inflicting pain is immoral, therefore abortion is immoral. Since the pain argument fails, it cannot be claimed - on this ground - that abortion is an immoral act.
