Incorrect. CREDIBLE research indicates that any form of coherent synaptic activity does not arise until somewhere around the 24 week mark. Before then it is a vegetable, insensate and unconscious.

not really

it doesn't have the necessary neural structure to experience pain until week 24

it might react to stimulus prior to that, but so do plants and fucking bacteria

Fine I may be wrong, after all i havent looked at all the research myself. But whether it feels pain or not doesnt detract from the fact that a life is being forcefully ended.

I doubt there are many who disagree with the fact that abortion ends a life or at least the possibility of a life.

And said life is imposing upon the rights of another. A person is allowed to kill to prevent others from using their body against their will.

Life may be for you, but not for everyone. If an abortion is desired, the fetus is unwanted. Therefore, if not aborted, the fetus would grow up unwanted, unloved. Real happy, right?

And, as previously stated, that life doesn't have the right to extract bodily resources and inflict bodily harm on the woman without her consent. If we hold a foetus to the same standard as a born life(what pro life advocates constantly stress), then If someone who was born decided to use your body in ways that are harmful to you that you do not consent to, you would have the right to defend yourself against that person. If a foetus is a person, I don't see why they should get special treatment. Unless you don't feel that a foetus is a real person and contradict the mainstream pro life argument.

I think that because the Fetus has diffrences from his Biological mother, like the blood type and the DNA, it's not a part of the Woman, then the Woman has no right to end his life like that, it's quite murder if you think about it from the view of the Unborn.

No one said that it is part of her, please keep up. It isn't part of her, but it is fully dependant upon her body and resources to live. For that reason, if a woman doesn't wish to have her bodily resources stolen or her body harmed, she may abort. It's not murder if it is in self defence. Everyone has a right to defend their bodies from unwanted harm. Hence, if a woman is being raped, it's not murder if she kills her rapist in self defence.

And as previously stated an explained: irrelevant. It is IN the woman, using her bodily resources and otherwise causing harm to the woman. A woman absolutely has the right to defend herself from this, and it is wrong to deny her that right.


Think of it as like a car, You are in a car, but not a part of it, you just rely on the aspects of the car to help you survive.


And if that car happened to be a woman and she doesn't want you 'in' her, she can kill you to prevent you from inserting yourself in her.

I mean, yeah the right to life exists

but it's absolutely overridden by the right to bodily sovereignty, as evidenced by the right to self-defense

that doesn't change whether it's a fetus or a born person

Incorrect. It is not a denial of the fetus' rights to cut it off from what it needs to survive if those needs impose upon the rights of another person.
