Death is what happens to persons who have experienced life.
Your discomfort with that fact is of no rational use to this conversation.
It isn't me who should experience discomfort since in my world a person only develops beyond the zygote stage and well after the chances of survival have become considerably better.
Because you can read minds? What do you know of my situation and empathy for the fact that many people lose babies?
Except that it isn't about reading minds it's about reading what you say. If you really do believe that "tiny human beings" exist at conception then why aren't you in an angry rage that so many more will die rather than live?
I suggest you are not angry or worried because you know just as well as I do that only a
possible and potential human being is still involved at that stage. There is no ongoing human tragedy in progress to feel uncomfortable about, it's just the normal way of things.
Imagining a lack of empathy on my part does not cover that you turn a blind eye to the fact that babies — of a size at which even you would concede personhood — are torn apart by abortion.
All I attempt to do is argue for at least some place for choice, whether to remain pregnant or not, against those who would dogmatically forbid any choice, at any stage, regardless, under any circumstances.
Aborting a healthy, near full term, foetus, inside a healthy woman is not my aim, which since it isn't and should never be legal imo is simply an emotive red herring here.
But I do reject the dogma that simply wants to deny any reasonable and responsible early choice to abort under any circumstances, which is what I consider to be the main problem while pro-lifers will no doubt regard as the thin end of a wedge, if so, too bad .
