**Why do you suppose there's a procedure called "feticide"? **

uh, because thats what anti-choicers like to call abortion, thinking theyre being clever?

lots of things are organisms, but not human. whats your point?

**Many people see it as a bad decision, independent of their stance on abortion. **

and just as many (actually more) see it as a good decision, as freedom. again, where is the argument? yes people disagree. if u think its wrong, DONT GET ONE. ta-da!

Roe V. Wade was argued on all kinds of inaccuracies. Many people see it as a bad decision, independent of their stance on abortion.

Again, another fallacy. The proof is there. A fetus is an organism. Check. An organism is of the same species as its parents. A fetus that has human parents is therefore a human being. Abortionists know they're killing. Why do you suppose there's a procedure called "feticide"?

@BigBlueWave

provable? huh ...so what and where is this credible proof? because either they forgot to show it to the supreme court, or its just not that convincing...

[BigBlueWave]

And by the way, sometimes an opposing position is wrong and shouldn't be respected. Do you respect white supremacists? No. Because they are objectively wrong about races. People who do not acknowledge fetuses as a human being are PROVABLY wrong.

[BigBlueWave]

No, it is a scientific fact that a fetus is a human being. A fetus is an organism. Of what species? Homo sapiens. Ergo, a human being. I just presented scientific proof. You can't refute any of those points. You give benefit of the doubt to the being who may be killed, otherwise you may be killing a human being; that's worse than an unwanted pregnancy.

Dianna, poor-choicers are so dogmatically convinced that a fetus is not a human being and so unable to empathize with him that it has resulted in the deaths of 50 million human beings, a death toll far greater than any war in the last 40 years. You are committing an ad hominem fallacy and appear not to be able to argue. Abortion kills a human being. That's not subjective, that's a fact.

Anti-choicers are barely willing to even acknowledge this opposing position, let alone address it in any rational way.

there is a wide divergence of opinion on the degree of "human beingness" of the fetus

however, There will never be a consensus because of the subjective and unscientific nature of the claim. That's why we should give the benefit of the doubt to women and let them decide - because women are indisputable human beings and persons with rights.
