The abortion debate is very simple. Either you believe the fetus is the moral equivalent of a living person at X time in a pregnancy, or you don't. It all comes down to that. Either a fetus - all fetuses - have a right to live, or they don't. If they don't, it's entirely up to the woman. Pretty simple, and no exceptions allowed except for true dilemmas like a threat to the mother's life. Not easy to handle, but simple.
So, let me get ths right.
In the event that we establish the fact that "personhood" begins at conception,...
In YOUR OPINION,...
A woman has the right to
kill a fully developed, cognitive, able to feel pain, aware, thinking human being (
a perceived rapist) in an act of self defense,... even if all
he wants is to have sex with her against her will....
But that same woman should be forced to allow a child (FORCED on her by her attacker),... to use
her body and other resources,... placing
her life and certainly
her health in harms way,... for
NINE months,... even if the pregnancy is against her will?
How is this not an example of what you just said above?
And why the double standard?
Either the woman has the right to defend herself against a threat she didn't invite against herself,...or she doesn't.
