Can you explain what is wrong with homicide without feelings, beliefs or appeals to emotions that doesn't compare with abortion? Quite honestly, even the argument of bodily autonomy requires belief and appeal to emotion, not to mention feelings. For the most part, the problem with the anti-choice crowd is that they simply aren't consistent in applying their reasons to all the common situations, instead of cherry picking what it applies to.
That's rather my point. All of the arguments both pro and con are based entirely on belief and emotion. So it becomes problematic to ask the anti-choice for an argument free of belief and emotion, when we can't do it ourselves."Wrong" is a moral concept. Subjective. Are you arguing to not recognize any moral values in our society and the laws we choose? Or maybe you can explain what morality is based on, since you specify "not feelings, beliefs, appeals to emotions." Then we can focus in further on what and why, specifically, we do recognize as moral in our society.

Speak for yourself. I've made arguments based on law and pragmatism. Belief or emotional does not enter the equation.That's rather my point.

THAT is NOT the point. Some man has the right to tell you what to do with your body, and women are too stupid to know what is "right" or wrong.Don’t want an abortion? Don’t have one.
Don’t want pineapple on your pizza? Don’t order it.
What other people decide is none of your business.
Why should I have any say so over life and death regarding pregnancy for some Republican family in Omaha?
Who cares? A woman has full autonomy, or she's a second class citizen, and fetus cult's notion of personhood should have **** all to do with it.
Learning begins the moment of birth. Infants are born with a functioning limbic system which creates memory and emotion. Learning depends on memoryI thought this seemed familiar. That's at least 4 of us that are both here and on PF
There is a question of when the learning is taking place during the gestation period. If we consider when most abortions take place in humans, there is nothing developed for learning to take place with. When we consider that part of gestation in which learning could conceivably take place, the overwhelming majority of abortions are about the risk of health or life of the women. The idea of learning, in and of itself, is a red herring to the issue.
Citation, please. And before you try to use the "do your own homework" line, it's your assertion, and a positive one a that, so your responsibility to support it. But to my knowledge, any type of memory that might be is not the same as what the OP is talking about.Learning begins the moment of birth.
