This is only true temporarily; it is rather unsatisfactory to say that a fetus is not a life on the basis that it is merely contiguous with its mother for the time being.
I never said it's not a life. All I said is it's part of the woman's body, and she should have control over her body not anyone else. I realize it's a life and abortion ends it, sure.
And Nephilem, I don't care what the dictionary says, I don't equate a fetus to a born child, and that's not even the point anyway.

But what they fail to understand is that it's part of the woman's body and therefore completely dependant on her.

Only simple and quiet words will ripen of themselves. For a whirlwind does not last a whole morning, nor does a sudden shower last the entire day.
I know. I completely know. But I'm not talking about the issue at all. Or I wasn't in my most recent post. *shrugs* Whatever. This world is severly lacking in empaths, which I find quite sad.

I'm sorry shade. I explained it best I could . I understand that people who are pro-life equate the fetus with a baby, so naturally they think it's cruel and sick murder. But what they fail to understand is that it's part of the woman's body and therefore completely dependant on her.

It's simple unwillingness. I can't comprehend how people can't see the other side. That's not holding true to your beliefs, it's the inability to connect with our fellow person, the inability to empathise.
...a Wandering Star for whom the black darkness has been reserved forever...
For me to be able to understand the pro-life argument I'd have to think the fetus is "an innocent baby", which I don't. I'd also have to see a women's body not as her own but as mine(and all pro-life people), because I have control over what she does to her body. As you can see, I can't put myself in anothers shoes with this issue...

Is it wrong to kill a baby right after it is born?
It's wrong to kill regardless. But that's not the point we're trying to bring up. This is why "pro-life" and "pro-choice" people can't argue the issue. They're debating different sides. If we could both just remove ourselves from the situation, and for a second, argue the other person's argument ( eg: pro choice people debating on the murder aspect, and pro life people debating on the choice, while ignoring their previous stance ) we might make some ground here.

It is stupid I cant believe they get away with murder just beacues the baby cant defend itself. The baby heart starts beating after couple weeks and the brains starts working after about a month so why does it make it ok? Abortion does equal murder and murder should equal JAIL!!!!!!!!!
If innocent babies are being killed, I think that I can speak out on weather I think the practice is wrong or not, and I also think that I should be able to suggest ways to fix the problem.

So to bring it back to abortion, you would agree that the actions of some abortion clinic bomber should not be used as the description of what the entire pro life movement is like.
Of course, but I also think that it's none of your god damn business if someone has an abortion or not. Please get of your high horse.
Edit: Please try to keep things civil LTR.

This also has a flipside and affects you to. If you say it is unfair to Jude Muslims by the actions of Muslim extremists, then it is also unfair to Judge Christians by the actions of radical, insane Christians.
