Themis wrote:That is the correct definition. A Fetus is any unborn offspring of a mammal. It is a PR move by those who want to outlaw abortions to redefine these terms to child. It doesn't however do anything with the issue of whether a women should have the right to have an abortion or not. Do you have an argument for why they should or shouldn't be allowed to get an abortion including any exceptions from the two extremes?
This is a hard subject Themis, there is no definitive answer that does not allow grey areas...I get that. Women are allowed to get a abortion for any reason...if you believe it is okay, then that is your choice, and their choice.
If my wife/daughter was raped and pregnant...I think I would want to abort the child in my heart, I don't know if I am strong enough to deal with all the issues it would create, I hope I would be but I doubt it.
I think you know what I meant about fetus vs child...we can use Human vs non human if it helps to understand my point.
It's sad that abortion has turned into such a polarizing issue, a red and blue issue that must be taken by default based on ones political party for most. It stops reducing them based on folks digging in there heals. I think we can agree that abortions are not healthy mentally and physically.
