So just because you don't care if you had never been born, somehow that means that a woman should have the right to kill her own baby for no valid reason? "Gee, a baby doesn't fit into my life plans right now" is not a valid reason to kill him or her.
Do you think the baby wants to be killed? You would not force any woman to "bear a pregnancy against her will," which means you would not lift a finger to protect the innocent unborn baby from an undeserved, unjust death.
There are a lot of reasons but it comes down to this: no one has a right to force a woman into an unwanted pregnancy, control her body or make life changing choices for her. If you feel so strongly about it - offer to have the unwanted fetus implanted in you, or start a compaign to force the father to carry it and see how you feel about having someone who neither knows you nor cares take control of our body.
A handful of cells is nothing more than a potential baby - it has no brain, no awareness, no consciousness, no feeling.
You are about 30 years behind the science on this issue, unless you're only talking about abortion done within 1 week of pregnancy.
And, FYI, it's a biological fact that the baby is not the mother's "body." It's not "her body." The baby is a separate body in her body; he or she is not like her kidney or liver or heart.
No, I'm pretty up to date on science.
Week 1 - egg is released
Sex occurs and the sperm goes looking.
At this point - the Morning After Pill can be used to prevent pregnancy (up to 5 days post sex) - however, pro-lifers seem to consider this an abortion so I imagine that you would consider the woman homocidal at this point.
Week 2 - 3 Conception. Sperm penetrates egg and becomes a zygote. One cell. Zygote contains all the genetic information to become a baby. Potential.
It spends a week traveling, becomes a microscopic ball of cells called a Blastocyst, and embeds in the uterus if it's lucky.
75% chance of miscarriage occurs.
This is where IUD controception works - it prevents the Blastocyst from embedding. I suppose she is a serial killer now.
Week 4 - Blastocyst embeds and starts to multiply. It's still just a ball of cells. 30% chance of misscarriage.
Week 5 - it becomes an Embryo. Cells start to differentiate. It doesn't even look remotely human.
Week 7 - arm and leg buds develop, further differentiation, primitive organs, size of a lentil,
33% of abortions take place before this time.
Weeks 8 - organs continue to develop and grow. The embryo is the size of a kidney bean.
At this point if a woman is going to have an abortion, 63 % have done so.
Only 4.8 percent of all abortions occur after 15 weeks.
Brain waves don't begin to appear as intermittent bursts until 20 weeks and aren't consistent and synchronized until 27 weeks. This also means that it can not feel pain until this point.
It's a biological fact that it is not viable and entirely dependent on the mother's body for existence. It does not even have a functioning brain. Brainwaves define the existence of independent life.
LOL! Holy cow, where did you get this nonsense?
I repeat: You are way, way behind the science. Brain waves are measured as early as four to five weeks. The baby has his own blood supply, separate from the mother's and often with a different blood type. He has fingerprints in about six weeks. An older man on a kidney machine technically is not "vilable," since he needs external assistance to live. A baby in the womb is perfectly viable as long as he's not stuck with a needle and poisoned before birth. A baby's heart beat can be detected as early as four or five weeks. Etc., etc., etc. Read and learn:

I chose unbiased sources - basic pregnancy info: Your pregnancy week by week BabyCenter
As far as brain waves - there is absolutely no possibility of "brain waves" at 4-5 weeks. There isn't even a brain yet NOR is there a heart - so that is either blatent ignorance or propoganda.
Embryo: About the size of a sesame seed, the embryo is made of three layers of cells that are folded over on each other.If you define viability in terms of needing external assistance to live than an embryo is certainly not viable - remove it from it's life support system and it dies.
Neural tube: At the fold of the top layer of the embryo is the neural tube, which will develop into the baby's brain, spinal cord, nerves, and backbone.
Hint: read and learn![]()
Viability of a developing human being is dependent upon the health and protection of the Mother.
What the Leftist above is telling you is, is that the Mother is entitled to murder her child on the rationalization that without its protection the baby can't survive thus is not 'viable'.
In reality, thus in truth, the viability issue is not one which considers the early developing human life 'living outside of the mother', as the design in the earliest stages of human life is intrinsic to and an exclusive function of the utero-environment.
In short, the abortionists are simply encouraging you ladies to turn from the responsibilities that DEFINE YOU!
Now I ask ya... What's EVIL about THAT?
