Orwell would be proud of you.
A fetus is not separate entity. Not a "baby". Not a person with rights. That's the little stunt you people are trying to slide in - you're trying to change the definition of person to include unborn fetuses.
Is it a human being?
Try to focus. That's not the question. The question is whether a fetus is a
person will legal rights.
The issue is whether the entity in question is a human being.
Nope. Your word games are irrelevant. What matters is how the law sees things. If government tries to lay claim to our insides, I'm gonna fight it. Tooth and nail. My bowels are none of your ******* business.
The vulgarity gives away that you know you've lost the argument.
That makes you evil.
It's neither your insides, nor the prospective mother.
I'm sure you know that the separate, unique, distinct human being that the mother is temporarily nourishing isn't 'her body.'
And....the reason for the slaughter is no more than convenience.
The vast majority of abortion performed in the United States are carried out for reasons that can be broadly categorized as “matters of convenience.”
Nearly every abortion is based on convenience.....Convenience, as in having your groceries delivered rather than having to walk across the street to pick them up.....this level of consideration in deciding to execute the child you've created.
In a study of 27 nations, reasons for abortion services were found to be the following:
a.
“Worldwide, the most commonly reported reason women cite for having an abortion is to postpone or stop childbearing. The second most common reason—socioeconomic concerns—includes disruption of education or employment; lack of support from the father; desire to provide schooling for existing children; and poverty, unemployment or inability to afford additional children. In addition, relationship problems with a husband or partner and a woman's perception that she is too young constitute other important categories of reasons.”
Reasons Why Women Have Induced Abortions: Evidence from 27 Countries
b. A 2004 study of American women yielded similar results: “The reasons most frequently cited were that
having a child would interfere with a woman’s education, work or ability to care for dependents (74%); that she could not afford a baby now (73%); and that she did not want to be a single mother or was having relationship problems (48%). Nearly four in 10 women said they had completed their childbearing, and almost one-third were not ready to have a child. Fewer than 1% said their parents’ or partners’ desire for them to have an abortion was the most important reason. Younger women often reported that they were unprepared for the transition to motherhood, while older women regularly cited their responsibility to dependents.”

["A study published in Guttmacher's
International Family Planning Perspectives in 1998 said risk to a woman's health was the main reason for 2.8% of U.S. abortions in 1987-88."]
c. We must
reject the view that inconvenience of a mother’s informed choice outweighs the unalienable right to life of the child she bears by virtue of that choice.
Being evil, you don't have the ability to alter your view of the murder.....but readers of both our posts may be able to.
