Okay I can't say I support abortion or even like it. I'm against it personally, wouldn't want to be put in the situation to have to make that choice. But then how can you justify enforcing that on other people?
Was that directed towards me?

and what do u mean by the bold part? enforcing them to abort or to not abort?

Like i said in the previous post i am against it but does not mean i would rally against it.


What if the mother's life was endangered by being pregnant?
Well then it has to be looked in a completely different way. I would help abort because it means saving one life.

Any other reason and the mother can go fuck herself.

She definitely has a right to abort then imo.


For me its not a black and white issue, i can't say i am against abortion, i definitely can't say i'm with it either. Depends on the situation and reasons for abortion really. Of course if doctors deem that a woman's life could be endangered by her pregnancy, she definitely has the right to abort.

Not directed at you. But I mean, how can you tell someone they can't have an abortion? When does the fetus become "a life"?

I think that question is key. In the first few days/months when it is certain that the fetus hasn't gained life, i can't see a problem with abortion. As it doesn't qualify as killing a soul, so no rationale against abortion in that case. After the fetus gains life, i think abortion should be allowed under special circumstances only.

Is there a specific point when a fetus becomes alive?

So in 2 months the fetus would have not gained life yet? Sorry but I'm not really an expert on the subject.

What's your definition of "gained life"? Some would say that it's as soon as the egg is fertilised.

Its a complicated thing you see. A sperm is "alive" and has "a life",the fertilised egg is life itself and all the following changes that happen to that egg right till birth. The baby is truly conscious only when he is born when he is exposed to another environment. But you cannot say life was created when the baby was born. Take for example a per term (immature) Caesarean Section delivery where the doc basically cuts you open and takes a baby out,would you say he created life wher there wasn't any just seconds before?

So abortion for some people might be as simple as taking a life of a cabbage plant of the chicken they had for dinner. For me its a human life right from the second it is implanted into the mother's woob and that is a fact.
