I replied to SILENTSAM, not you. He's arguing it is a victimless crime because he does not believe in the personhood of an unborn child.
Not a crime, and victimless is not brought up as it is irrelevant.
If a person would die unless connected to your circulatory system you should not be forced to have them connected.
Your concept of not being a person till you pass a magic line doesn't make much sense. Which conjoined twin is a human, & which isn't. Simply declaring irrelevance isn't sufficient.
Birth is a very objective line. The issue of personhood is irrelevant because it changes nothing. Sure, call a fetus a person, but abortion is still fine.
You are arguing circles. A baby would not die if it was removed from the circulatory system the day before it would be born. Therefore, you just declared it a human.
The day before it is to be born is irrelevant as abortions happen during the first trimester.
In a late term abortion, it is required to kill the baby before it is removed, otherwise it magically becomes a baby if it was removed alive.
Late term abortions are rare, and usually only happen due to medical complications. They are irrelevant as they would happen even if regular abortions were illegal.
You contradict yourself a lot.
Can you point out one time I have done so?
"...abortions happen during the first trimester."
"Late term abortions are rare..."
That's just the one I was talking about here.
That is not a contradiction at all. Abortions happen during the first trimester, except in extreme situations. Late term abortions are irrelevant to the issue of abortion rights.
My bad. 😂 Got carried away there.
I just had the same confusion. Memo now gives you notifications of replies to replies of yours, which makes it seem sometimes that someone is talking to you. Not sure I like it.
