@MayonR well mutations and parasites are naturally occurring. they are just doing what they were meant to do. do you consider cancer innocent?

@FongioHELS [[its total disruption to a woman's body]] it's a naturally occurring process, disruption just suggests inconvenience.[[fetus is not harmless]] Woman have had babies for eons which is beneficial to survival.[[not innocent]] A bay has not yet sinned therefore innocent.

futhermore, even if a fetus has a right to life, a pregnant woman is not required to save it by loaning out her body for nine months against her will. since pregnancy entails profound physical, psychological, and long-lasting consequences for a woman - it is not a mere "inconvenience" - her freedoms are significantly restricted if she is forced to carry to term.

@thewayofthemaster Although you could call a fetus a "potential person," a potential person cannot have personhood rights either, in the same way that a 6-year old cannot obtain a driver's license just because he's a potential 16-year old. Potential persons have only potential rights, not actual rights.

@thewayofthemaster fetuses are not defenseless; they have their mother. a woman does not simply terminate a pregnancy because it's inconvenient or unplanned, it is a serious consideration with herself and her doctor. nobody else can decide for her.
@WerewolfOfTheWater This is the most convoluted logic. If banning abortion created incentive to rape, then allowing abortion would create a DISincentive to rape; nonetheless, rapes still occur. Rapists do not rape to get reproductive rights; reproduction is likely the LAST thing on a rapist's mind. So no, Republicans do not want this crazy scenario of providing more "reproductive rights" to rapists. How absurd. They simply want the right to life of the unborn to be recognized.

an unwanted fetus has no ill intent of course - like a parasite, it's just doing what it naturally has to do - but the physical risks of pregnancy and its total disruption to a woman's body and life means the fetus is not harmless, and therefore not innocent
