Ok here is my view on this...imagine a school being built for all the schoolchildren. The builders of this school are essentially women, they have a choice to finish the school so it becomes an essential part of the town infrastructure and evolution. However if these builders decide not to finish building this school at the early stage of its creation, than they have every right to demolish it. A school essentially starts functioning as a school only when it accepts its first children. So does the baby start to function when it first becomes aware and interacts with the world in some sort of way (kicking the belly from within or just moving around). Before that it is just a building...not a school, not a human, but something that has a potential to be, and is it up to the creator to decide its fate.
The analogy fails because many people wouldn't feel that an inanimate object compares to an intelligent human.
The problem with this subject is that a zygote is not an intelligent human being. However, an infant is.
A six year old child isn't developed into a full human, yet, remember. If this child is unwanted, does murdering it seem like a viable option? No. So stages of development do not impress me much. The law has been written on this topic to be as fair as it possibly can. It has a terminator, a shade of gray with a sharp line through it.
It seems cruel and it is, but the right is theirs, womens'.
Remember your grade school Biology class- it takes
two to make a baby. The woman is not the sole creator- she cannot make a baby alone and man cannot make a baby alone.
The rights of both parents apply.
It's really freaking simple.
Yes, it is- two bodies are involved.
Her body, her right to decide. Let me put it this way, no born human has any right to someone else's body, why the hell should this maggot 'baby' get the right to use HER BODY against her will?
Because she chose it as well when she was educated as to how babies are made and took it up the crotch. There are many contraceptives available and to wuss out halfway through is unimpressive, at best.
Your views on this topic never fail to be appalling. The maggot, eh?
You're so busy showing extensive animosity to something you're not even personally dealing with, you're not really thinking through the best arguments for your side.
As I said above, the way the law is written, you have the right to an early abortion but once you waited long enough, you lose that right, just as you lose it when the infant is born, just as you lost it long before the terrible twos or the annoying age of 6 or the hair pulling teenage years.
