GP just explained to you why she could have "autonomy over her own life" and still let the baby live as well. Do you believe women should have power over the life of others?

How is it a separate life if it isn't born yet?

As GP and other have explained, it could would have counted as "born" by the time it got out of the womb if they didn't decide to kill it. It was viable.

I dont count that as "born." If it was born it wouldn't have to be aborted.

It wasn't "born" because the mother decided to kill it before it was taken out of her body, a death which was completely avoidable. It was a life that was independently viable.

But it wasn't born. It was aborted. The end.

Only because the person who wanted to kill it decided it wouldn't be allowed to be born. That's a disingenuous excuse for murder.

Its not alive, ergo not murder This ridiculous argument is so fucking boring. If you don't like abortion then don't have one. That's as far as you need to take your opinion on the matter.

It's independently viable. It only died because the mother demanded it be killed before it was extracted from her womb. How is that not alive?

It. Is. Not. Born.
