No. I am not implying anything, I am simply stating that a fetus cannot survive independently.

If you are not implying anything, then please explain to me how that fact is relevant to whether or not the mother should be allowed to kill it. |
It is not relevant to this debate and there is no reason for us to continue to discuss it. When I said 'the child/fetus can't control it's own body' it was simply a response to you posting this:

No. My beliefs on abortion are pretty much along these lines:

How do you tell a conscious being fron a non-conscious being? |

The alternative is worse. My solution is simply to apply the same laws we have now with regards to other people. Treat it as a person, and not an object. Dont draw a distinction. That is my solution. |
The alternative being?
Banning it completely will do more harm than good. Abortion should be legal, but it should be seen as the
absolute last option. That is done through education.
