Join the contest SubscribeLet me see if I can answer your concerns/follow-up questions.Yes, it does. Thank you. I'm probably not asking the right questions though. The idea of abortion at 8.9 months really bothers me. What I am trying to wrap my head around is whether there is a point at which it is generally accepted that a fetus can survive outside the womb before birth. The idea of aborting a baby at 8.9 months bothers me much more than a woman taking a "morning after pill". I'm just not sure if science, or the courts have decided when life is sustainable (even with assistance) outside the womb.
It would seem that if a life could be sustainable outside the womb (even with assistance) allowing adoption rather than abortion might be the way to go.
I realize these are very personal matters. Another consideration I am wondering about is the rights of both the child, and the child's father. If the child could survive outside the womb at 8.9 months, I would think that the father might be granted some rights and asked if he wants custody of the baby rather than just killing it.
If someone's actions cause the accidental death of an in utero child, some states can levy charges of manslaughter. If that is true, why wouldn't that same logic be applied to aborting a fetus of the same age?
This is all inconsistent logic to my way of thinking. I think that logic should be applied consistently. However, if manslaughter charges can be pressed for the inadvertent death of a fetus, why wouldn't the deliberate death of a fetus bring the same charges?
Obviously, I have far more questions than answers. I'm not trying to challenge anyone's point of view because mine isn't totally fixed. I realize that being in favor of the death penalty should mean that I am pro choice/ pro-abortion, but I can't accept late term abortions where the fetus could live outside the womb. If the woman doesn't want the baby, I am sure there would are plenty of people who would gladly adopt the child once the hospital is ready to release it from care.
I am being daft because I don't agree with your opinion? You are using the "thou shall not kill" as part of your premise to define when a fetus is alive and I am pretty sure you have no idea of when that actually occurs.
You have done the liberal move here and this emotional and even threw out an insult. I was not arguing the merits, or lack there of, of abortion. I pointed out where your definition of prohibition is absolutely wrong.
No you're being daft because you're comparing apples and oranges just to play devil's advocate. Anyone who has taken a college level developmental biology class or read a text book unequivocally knows when a fetus is alive, as has been illustrated above.
An apple to an orange? Where would that be? I was talking about the definition of prohibition, which you used incorrectly.
I did? I don’t think so.

We were talking about a law prohibiting the murder of a human being (there’s your apple, also #4 in the above link) and you chime in comparing it to the prohibition of owning an object (the orange) in a vain attempt to liken the two and point out some nonexistent hypocrisy.
I have more interesting things to waste my time on now.
I’m on my way!!!

Twitter called the glittery dog nuts “a trend,” but the groomer behind this, Jordan Burns of Louisville, KY tells People that it’s not a trend, no poodle was harmed in the making of those sparkly balls
The elimination round at South Coast Raceway’s ‘Wild Bunch Wars’ event between Dean Cleary in the Pontiac and Jason Duncan in the Ford Capri. Jason’s throttle got stuck wide open on the burnout, sending him across the track, careering into the back of a stationary Dean Cleary, then into a 180-degree spin where he proceeded back towards the start line with the throttle still wide open.
That's pretty nuts!!!
Cheers,
