It confers separation from the body of the mother and her absolute agency over it.Yeah but birth does not confer the right to life.

Stop truncating the arguments against your points. It’s dishonest.HopkinsReb:![]()
Not at all. It’s just not as important as a mother’s right to not have to carry a baby she doesn’t want and face the permanent change pregnancy brings.Vonsalza:![]()
Ah, here we go. You admit that there is a right to life, but that you think that right trivial.Because their right to life doesn’t trump her right to not want to be pregnant.
I concede it’s a person. I just don’t think its personhood, at that stage, overrides its mother’s.Vonsalza:![]()

If you accept that the fetus has any right to life at all, you concede that the fetus is a person. Therefore, you are defending genocide.
They have it. But it’s a diminished personhood that does not trump its mothers personhood - along with her freedom to not be pregnant.Why don’t you think the baby deserves personhood?
Oh, we just learned that the baby is a person, but it’s okay to kill that person because reasons.Why don’t you think the baby deserves personhood?
Same reasons there’re no investigation for stillbirths and miscarriages.lagerald24:![]()

Are breathing and eating on ones own what determines personhood? If not they are irrelevant to the definition.I can tell you from thrice personal experience that they start breathing with their own lungs, eating with their own mouths and pooping and peeing into diapers instead of into the mother’s uterus.
Personhood is a progression. Birth is a critical step that completely separates you, biologically, from your mother.Vonsalza:![]()

This is an absolutely ridiculous claim that is used to deflect from the fact that you’re advocating genocide.HopkinsReb:![]()

It includes the right to have absolute dominion over your own body.Does full personhood include the right to kill?
No, it’s proof that people in-utero aren’t considered “full persons”.Vonsalza:![]()

When someone dies of natural causes, there’s no police investigation. My dad died of cancer, and we didn’t call the police. Because he didn’t have a murderer. Sometimes people die.No, it’s proof that people in-utero aren’t considered “full persons”.
Because while in the womb, it’s biologically a part of the mother and thus under her will, since she has control over her body.I just don’t understand why it is a mother’s right to kill her unborn child. If the child is indeed a human being, it deserves human rights and equality and isn’t everyone these days big about equality?
Your dad’s cancer death, while tragic, was obvious.Vonsalza:![]()

Miscarriages are natural tragedies. Abortions are not natural. They are part of the genocide which you are defending.
If it can be safely separated from the woman’s body very shortly after conception, I’m all for outlawing abortion.What if the unborn baby isn’t part of the woman’s body? What if it really is a distinct organism?
