This is a completely different argument.
If we can't decide that killing a pre born baby is the killing of a human being, we really can't begin to have a real conversation about ethics.
The reality is that many abortions are the killing of human beings.
The debate is about whether and when we should allow a women and her doctors to kill the pre born baby.
If you live in society and you are halfway sentient and honest with yourself you realize that the wills of others are imposed upon you all the time.
You can't even walk on your neighbors grass to get to the beach without permission in many states.
So you all need to refine your thinking before you can have a reasonable and useful discussion.
Society has determined it has a right to tell you not to kill some of your pets.
Under no reasonable understanding of how law and society works can you say that we as a society have no interest in protecting the life of a human being.
You say... well I think a mom should be able to terminate the life of her pre born. That is your conscience and your moral choice and belief.
Others will come to a different conclusion.
Which is why I say leave it up to the states. That is how our founders left it.
And, I say that knowing I live in a very liberal state which I am pretty sure would vote for some abortion.
So use your brain. I believe in democracy. I am not attempting to impose my will on you the way your are attempting to impose your belief on me.
The mother can decide when her fetus becomes a "baby" with consultation with her doctor. The law and the medical community can decide when it's too late to have an abortion, but the irrational ideas of people like you who wish to impose their theories on others do not matter. I'm sure there are plenty of things about your conduct and lifestyle that some would think are immoral or unethical, but they have no right to control those aspects of your life. An unwanted pregnancy or dangerous pregnancy is life changing and none of your business.
