[quote]Abortion rights advocates should not cede the terms "pro-life" and "right to life" to the anti-abortionists. It is a woman's right to her life that gives her the right to terminate her pregnancy. Nor should abortion-rights advocates keep hiding behind the phrase "a woman's right to choose." Does she have the right to choose murder? That's what abortion would be, if the fetus were a person. The status of the embryo in the first trimester is the basic issue that cannot be sidestepped. The embryo is clearly pre-human; only the mystical notions of religious dogma treat this clump of cells as constituting a person. We must not confuse potentiality with actuality. An embryo is a potential human being. It can, granted the woman's choice, develop into an infant. But what it actually is during the first trimester is a mass of relatively undifferentiated cells that exist as a part of a woman's body. If we consider what it is rather than what it might become, we must acknowledge that the embryo under three months is something far more primitive than a frog or a fish. To compare it to an infant is ludicrous. If we are to accept the equation of the potential with the actual and call the embryo an "unborn child," we could, with equal logic, call any adult an "undead corpse" and bury him alive or vivisect him for the instruction of medical students. That tiny growth, that mass of protoplasm, exists as a part of a woman's body. It is not an independently existing, biologically formed organism, let alone a person. That which lives within the body of another can claim no right against its host. Rights belong only to individuals, not to collectives or to parts of an individual. ("Independent" does not mean self-supporting -- a child who depends on its parents for food, shelter, and clothing, has rights because it is an actual, separate human being.)[/quote] Even Ayn Rand disagrees with you.

If you want an abortion you should just hang yourself. Problem solved. #TheRepublicanWay

I don't fully agree, but you're on the right track. A woman seeking an abortion -- legal or illegal -- does not deserve harm. However, if a woman seeks an illegal abortion that is potentially dangerous, the ensuing injuries exclusively her fault.

Abortion isn't murder. If it is, then killing any living cell with human DNA in it is murder.

Also, until it can live outside of the mother, it isn't a human.

why can't people just shut the fuc­k up and let other people live their lives?

Yes, ban abortion and just put the babies up for adoption.

Also, I will again state that the ending of an innocent life, human or not, isn't inherently reprehensible. What matters is the intention of an act, along with its consequences. [i]You[/i] are in no position to judge either.

For the record, whether or not the life that is created at conception is a human being is a subjective matter. There is no absolute law of the universe that dictates what a human is.

I knew somebody would be this much of a hypocrite eventually. I don't want to kill the baby, but I'm ok with a mother dying in the process of killing a non human.

Sounds like the title and plot for a low budget b-movie
