Look, the human being ended up inside of you through your actions. The human being had no say in the matter. Now you want to kill the human instead of giving birth to him/her. Sounds a bit selfish doesn't it?

You know that more than half of all fertilized ova spontaneously abort, right?

Half of them don't even implant and more of them result in a miscarriage before a woman even knows she was pregnant. I'd only be getting an abortion slightly later than that so really, it's no biggie as far as development goes.

that is correct, we can only blame nature on that, the women didn't intentionally do that, now did she??? Nature naturally aborts some embryo's.

well then they become pregnant....then they should go along with the pregnancy until the child is birthed.

Telling a woman that she has no rights to her own body because it makes you squeamish is the epitome of selfishness.

A woman aborting a pregnancy because she knows she cannot provide the best environment for it to grow is the opposite of that.

I have never conversed with you regarding consent, so I cannot judge, but that particular line of thinking is what rape apologists do.

Laws, including the legal definition of "person", are rooted in reason, empirical evidence, and ethics. So please give me a reason why not all human beings should receive the fundamental human right (i.e. right to life) associated with human personhood.

Why would I do that?

We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders. raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs?

Do you often jump to weird conclusions? Like How consent to sex is consent to risk of pregnancy, but is not consent to pregnancy itself, but no abortions should be allowed in either case?

fucking no. The women consented to sex which may or may not result in a fetus depending on if nature allows the child to remain in the womb. Now the women knowingly had sex and know the consequences thereof. ALL people start out life in such a (albeit parasitic) manner, but even parasites are organisms.

I'm not a rapist or rape apologist. It was just a really bad arguement.

Who said we should blame women for choosing how their bodies should be used? If I'm talking to someone who has had an abortion, I'm not going to blame her for it, I can recognize that it's a difficult decision and even if I think I would have chosen differently in her position, I can still respect her decision.

Anyway, the point I was making there is that if human life begins at conception then it's not really that valuable since "nature" sees fit to destroy more than half of it from the get-go.

Right. The woman consented to sex (which may or may not) result in a fetus (which may or may not) embed in the womb. But the woman who couldn't resist lust and decided to consent to sex has to bear all the responsibilities that befalls on her shoulder even if men don't.

Sounds pretty selfish of that human being to expect me to allow it to use my body as a life support machine when I don't want it there.

Granted, I recognize that embryos do not have feelings or a concept of self so being selfish is beyond their capabilities.
