Yes I am a female thank you very much. I am pretty sure you are the one who needs to study biology. An embryo is a child. An embryo is just an earlier phase of a baby's development. When you get an abortion you are aborting a baby. If an embryo wasn't a baby then why would there be any need to abort? Not aborting an embryo causes the baby to grow more and then eventually be born. When you abort you take the embryo, ( a baby that hasn't quite become a fetus yet), out causing the embryo to die. Is a baby's life less important because he/she is not a toddler yet? Is a 13 year old kid's life less important because he is not 16 year old yet and can't have the possibility of getting a license? NO So what makes an embryo's life less important than a fetus' life just because a fetus is further in growth?
If you can refer me to any reputable biology text which doesn't make clear distinctions between embryo, foetus, baby, child and human being I'll reconsider my opinion: until then I'll stick to science and my firm belief that an adult woman is more important than a collection of cells which has the potential to become a human being.
The reason it's less important is because of that potentiality, which obviously totally distinguishes it from a toddler or a 13 or 16 year old.
I am not suggesting abortions are desirable or that they should be used as birth control BUT the final decision has to be the woman's: as I keep saying, the alternative is COMPULSORY MOTHERHOOD - NO GOOD FOR WOMEN OR CHILDREN IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCES
Pro-choicers are silly?
