Are you honestly suggesting that they aren't working together. The mother provides nutrients and the child develops itself which is completely consistent. Secondly, why should an innocent individual be killed for the actions of its parents. The baby through a single decision will be kept from... -

Let's look at the traditional self defense model. Is the unborn analogous to a dangerous aggressor? Is it trying to hurt the mother? No. The mother's body and the unborn are working in concert to create a safe environment for the nascent human life to develop and receive nourishment. Most... -

You're missing the point. The human brain isn't completed developing until adulthood but what gives you the right to say that simply because the fetus's brain can not do what you consider good enough to be human we as a society can kill them. And also you have been calling the baby a clump of... -

Again I am not appealing to emotion I am asking questions that your view leaves open. I again ask the question of why your view of what defines a human being justifies abortion. What you have described as nessesary to be a human is your subjective philosophy. And if the characteristics that you... -

Self defense is an inadequate response to why a mother is able to murder her child. From a common sense perspective it is obvious that all of us were once at that precious state in our lives. You make that the equivalent to a mother needing to defend her life. Also I never said motherhood wasn't... -

Again your subjective threshold for "humanhood" is Self-identity, communication, emotions, and ideals. So for the people of society who are lacking any of these characteristics, are they worth less? What makes the "clump of cells" worth protection is their place in the human family( by that I... -

The first part of the quote was a mistake and was addressed to someone else I apologize. Secondly yes science is clear. Leading embryology books confirm this. For example, Keith L. Moore & T.V.N. Persaud write, “A zygote is the beginning of a new human being. Human development begins at... -

Here are your arguments summed up with responses 1. “Even if the unborn are human beings, they have fewer rights than the woman. No one should be expected to donate her body as a life-support system for someone else.” a. Once we grant that the unborn are human beings, it should settle the... -

I take many issues with this argument, Firstly parents due have an obligation under the law to provide their children with proper nourishment. If you do not you are liable to be charged with child abuse. This is a simple fact. Secondly your premise that having to support the child is comparable... -

I take issue with your argument in many respects. Firstly is your argument that the mother should not be forced to care for her child as it is comparable to slavery. This is simply false. Even when a child is born parents are responsible for the nourishment and wellbeing of the child. If they do... -

I completely agree with not intentionally killing the fetus, but trying to save both lives may include removal of the child from the mother which may unfortunately result in death. And by removing I do not mean dismembering as they do in abortive techniques. -

My Fundamental question to you would be why is it okay to kill a baby outside the whom, but not in it. It is inside the mother's body, but it is not part of it. They fetus has its own distinct human genetic code. Individuals under the law can do whatever they like with their bodies as long as it... -

I am aware that it is very rare for women to die during childbirth in the U.S. but on extremely rare cases when both mother and child are going to die you don't agree with saving the mother? -

It is obvious that in our world a respectful debate about heated issues like abortion are difficult to have without people calling each other phrases like sexist and "anti-women". In this thread I would like to hear a well thought out explanation on why you believe abortion is right or wrong and...
