Another won battle for pro-choice people

They don't notice.

If you were dead....would you notice it? I'd be sad if some was given the legal authority to kill you.

Except that in the vast majority of abortions, there aren't brainwaves happening in the fetus.

Same is true of the vast majority of abortion protesters.

[Nope]

I would feel sad if you were murdered also Heywood, or at least as sad as I would feel for any other acquaintance's death. You have a brain that feels fear and pain. If you became a vegetable and couldn't form a thought or experience any pain or pleasure, I would think it was a merciful act to let you die peacefully.

They aren't conscious to be able to notice it before they were aborted, you obtuse loon.

Sorry dummy, since you can't notice something when you are dead, you can't notice being dead before you are dead.

I think I could adjust!

You can notice something before you're dead if the state you were in prior to death was conscious life, which fetuses are not.

But then, I suspect this is another one of those times where you're trying to crow over some sophistic word choice, rather than actually follow the thread of the argument.

Then I would say to JuliaL, "I'd be sad if someone chopped you up into little pieces while you were under general anesthesia".

Whether or not a human being notices something or not doesn't determine if they've been morally wronged or not.

The "notice" element isn't important at all.
