- You state that because a fetus may not survive without intervention outside the
- womb that it is not a life and therefore may be terminated at our convenience.
-
- After birth, and for some years children are not capable of surviving without
- intervention, therefore we should be able terminate their life when they become
- an inconvenience.
-
- The majority homeless and poor in our society would not be able to survive if
- it were not for outside intervention of some form, we should therefore be able
- to terminate their life when they become an inconvenience.
-
- Granted these arguments are absurd, but no more so than those that state that a
- fetus is not a human life. Argueably it does not experience life as we know it
- but, does this make its life any less than our own?
-
- We demand that responsible pet owners spay and nueter or otherwise prevent
- their pets from mating to control unplanned and unwanted pet pregnancies.
- We are willing to make these decisions concerning our pets, but we will not
- take similar responsibility over our own animal instincts.
-
- During an abortion, you are taking a life. Your actions and motives determine
- YOUR true worth as a human being.
