Well, even if there was a legal definition of when life starts, don't you think the baby inside you is alive, as opposed to dead? I'm not trying to start a debate here, I'm just pointing that out. Its undeniably a living thing. Right? Its not like...a rock floating around in there or something.
While it might be alive, I would not classify an unborn child as a seperate life. I would say that it is little bit like a hand or a foot, something that is alive but part of the woman, not alive by itself. Until over 20 weeks, an unborn child could not survive by itself, anyway.
In the same way that I would protect a woman's right to chop one of her hands off, I protect her right to abort her baby. Sometimes I struggle to see why she'd want to, but that isn't the important thing.
I value the choice of a woman to abort to be more important than the life if a child that isn't truly alive. I understand that you didn't really want a debate about it, I'm just saying all of this to clarify myself.
Show of hands, Who thinks abortion is immoral or 'Wrong'?
