Yes, I thought i was clear about that.
You were, I was just verifying because I've never seen anyone with this extreme of a view. Christians like to say we want to murder babies, this is just the first time I've ever seen anyone who kind of fits the bill.
It's not a baby until it's born. It's still a fetus even if it would have been viable if born. Any other deadline is going to be either arbitrary and not a good fit for some subset of cases. Also, wanting something to be legal is not equitable with wanting something to happen, and you should avoid falling prey to that false logic. I don't think the person you are replying to is saying they would celebrate a last minute abortion, just that they think it shouldn't be something that the blind hand of the legal system is applied to
It's not extreme. It's bodily autonomy. My right to my body should be as absolute as the right you believe you have to your own body. No one can take from your body without your permission (unless you have a uterus and are pregnant in the US) . Setting term-based limits makes a complete mockery of bodily autonomy and of pro-life. It can't be reasonable to think abortion is murder after a certain number of weeks, but permissible before. Surely, it's murder before. But pro-lifers pretend they're rational and manipulate the populace into agreeing their being reasonable and rational by setting these limits. Nowhere do they address the argument of bodily autonomy, because they can't, and so the next thing to do is lie, cheat, and steal the American populace, who has been trained to accept this kind of stupidity culture.
Nothing extreme about it, people just don't realize how early a fetus can be viable with today's medical expertise, so using that as a standard makes no sense.
