    You are being forced to feed a parasitic being in your body, a being that destroys your body in the process.

    Okay, let’s take this reasoning even further then. Why can’t this same logic be used to a 3 year old?

      Cause then it is no longer connected to your body? Why would the same logic apply here? I am confused what argument you are trying to make

        Then have the child and give it up for adoption? If you don’t want to keep it, you can freely abort it until, say, 12 weeks, after which you’d need a medical reason and a statement from one or two doctors. I don’t see what the issue is here.

        I’m not saying this is exactly how it should be, but something along those lines. The idea that someone should be free to abort a 7-month-old fetus if they choose seems quite extreme to me.

        I’m pretty sure an 8-month-old fetus can feel things and is sentient, so that’s a moot point unless you’re going to argue that sentience appears at the moment of birth - which we both know isn’t true.

        So… Why can’t we abort 3 year olds?
