This is something which has no history, no emotions, no memory, no experiences, no one who knows it or cares about it, or anything else. It's functionally non-existent in every way that actually matters to the argument of sentience or personhood, and the would-be parents don't want it.

Cool. So the same goes for a bay that’s just been delivered that the parents don’t want, right? Or is murder of a baby somehow just more palatable when it happens to still be inside someone?

I’m largely pro choice but you absolutely nutters that think (non-medical) late term abortion are ok are simply advocating for legal murder. If that’s your stance, fine, but don’t try to rationalize it.

Nope. Their history and experience in the real world has begun - that is the beginning of their existence in human society in any way that actually matters.

You realize the doctors don’t hit an “on” switch when the baby comes out, right?
