What does it matter? Why are you arguing about a baby's needs, when you have already stated that a cell is important.
Are you even reading what I say? I said that even a cell shows signs of wanting it's survival? True, it's not conciously aware of what dying means but neither is one-year-old baby.
Lets not confuse this, okinrus. When, is a human a human? Please tell us.
My opinion on whether the fetus is human is not important.
I could get pregnant a hundred times, offer you the fetus in the first trimester each and every time and not only would you not be able to do anything about it survival, but you wouldn't be able to make it viable once it has attached itself to another host.
This whole host-leech theory is entirely meaningless because it cannot be used as an universal theory. It cannot tell us whether it's ethical to keep someone on life support or even medical care.
So, the bottom line is that you feel it's right to make people suffer for their mistakes,
Your being two-sided. What makes you certain the pregnacy was a mistake? You were the one who brought the God will argument, so you must also accept the consequences. It was God's will that some women becomes pregnant.
and possibly die for a potential life that only has a 1 in 3 chance of making it to second trimester anyway.
Like I said before, your 1 in 3 chance is invaild.
Don't you think you are selfish?
You aren't even beginning
Tell me another thing, would you adopt a child if given the chance?
Right now I would not be able to create a suitable home for the child but there are plenty of parents who are willing to adopt children.
I think that at every abortion clinic there MUST be a adoption counsellor to explain to women all of their options.
Well, this will be a difficult, I think. There have been some pro-lifers who want to destroy abortion gradually, step by step since depending upon what we are able to do.
I think there's some wisdom in that, but In most cases the counsellor called for is a psychologist. Since the required counsellor will undermind the women's "right" to cheap abortions, it's unlikely the pro-choicers will support it.
that records the number of pregnancies a woman aborts, and somehow punishes the ones who DO use it as a form of birth control. But I also believe that there should be DNA testing of the aborted fetus also in a registry to nail irresponsible fathers. And I am not talking light punishment. I am talking jail time, or the option of voluntary sterilization.
This is unlikely to be supported by pro-lifers because it involves spending of tax money to go towards abortions, though I do think it can be done. Anyway, isn't abortion either wrong or right? I don't think you can support that it's partially wrong without undermining your position.
