IF A Fetus Is Not Human Life...

...but just a meaningless bit of tissue, why should abortion not be allowed for any woman anytime anywhere for any reason? Abortion clinics should be as easy to find as dental clinics. In fact why should a woman even have to GIVE a reason? If abortion is about aborting something that isn't human only a bunch of cells that happen to be inside a woman's body then it has no more moral significance than clipping your toe nails or shaving?

But if it is a human life, please explain why should it ever be legal except for danger to the life of the mother ONLY?

The whole pro-abortion argument is illogical and abortionists can mask their shame by saying they are "pro-choice" but should have the courage (and moral bankruptcy) admit they believe a "fetus" has no more claim to existence than a cyst that needs to be removed, though as a nurse I have yet to encounter a cyst that had a heart beat...

If you admit it is life but are for abortion on demand anyway because a woman has a RIGHT to do with what she has inside her body because she "owns" it even if it is human than ethically your argument is the same as slave owners before the US Civil War who said black slaves were THEIRS because having bought them they OWNED them and had the right to feed or starve or beat or kill them as they wished because they lacked the rights of other human beings because they were black...just like a "fetus" does not cause it cannot pronounce your name.

Minus your value judgement, i'm perfectly happy to admit that.

You're wrong in your definitions though. A fetus IS a human. It has human DNA.
But it's not a person and therefor has no rights, much less rights over a woman's body.
Furthermore, even if it WAS a person (and it isn't, we can debate that if you're up for it) then it STILL doesn't matter because no person has the right to make use of another person's body against their will.

No, I think not. We are as far apart as those in the United States who were pro-slavery and the abolitionists. But what is truly horrifying? I believe you actually believe a woman carrying a child for 9 months IS enduring a form of slavery, yes? If yes it shows like most forms of psychopathy such a view is simply immune to all logic, rational thought, life experience, common decency or love of humanity.

By the way...I have been to an abortion clinic. Have you ever been to a maternity ward? Ever had a child or remember when you were one? After you stopped being just a cluster of cells, of course.

Finally being a man, and if you were honest, you would admit most of your support for abortion is based on self-interest. As long as abortion is legal, free, and easy, you are freed of any obligations for your actions. And if you think that makes you or other men more manly, we again disagree.
