[ Even if a fetus is a person, a pregnant person is still a person. It doesn’t make the pregnant person not a person. It’s that now we’re weighing the personhood of two people. So you still need to explain why a fetus’ personhood matters more than mine. ]

How are we weighing the personhood of two people? Whose life is at stake here? The baby’s. How is the pregnancy threatening the life or personhood of the woman? How is saying “no you can’t have your child killed” a threat to the woman????

The fact that people think if the fetus is a person it’s still okay to kill it because the woman is a person??? That makes no sense! You can’t justify killing someone by saying well this guy is a person too, so—

Like, how is the fact that the woman is a person more important than the baby’s unalienable right to LIFE???

Can you please explain to me how, when talking about a life or death situation for a baby, the fact that the woman is a person is actually an issue? Her life and personhood aren’t being threatened. She will still be alive and a person whether she has an abortion or not.

The baby, who is a person, will be DEAD. The most basic right we have is the right to life and if you are a person, you have that right no matter what stage of life you are in.

The baby’s right to life trumps the woman’s right to terminate the pregnancy. If it’s between a woman having to give birth and an innocent baby having it’s brain sucked out, the baby is more important here.

The personhood of the baby is more important in this situation because it’s the only one whose personhood is under threat.

[ What is your opinion on the delibarate killing of civillians in wars? i'm NOT talking about untintentional "collateral damage" or nonuniformed combatants either).... ]

I believe that in war, killing civilians is sometimes justified and may even be necessary to eliminate a threat. This is why people don’t like war: people die. Innocent people and people who aren’t innocent.

This doesn’t mean I’m okay with a military person just shooting some innocent civilian in the name of war, but if a city where there is a threat is attacked, then I wouldn’t scream bloody murder.

I take no pleasure in the thought of innocent civilians being killed in war, and I’m sure no one else does either, but in order to defend your country, sometimes steps like this need to be taken.

In war, casualties like this are unavoidable.
