How exactly is it that you know that the being in case has conscious experience?
i don't, and i'm not even sure it's consistent to a time that it could be objectively translated into good law. it's more of a generality, as some people think that a human is a human from the time the egg is fertilized and latches to the wall. i simply disagree, just because it has paddle hands and rudimentary eyeballs doesn't give it the same right to life as a full blown human imo. its not murder in the same way shooting someone is murder.
but i don't support abortion, i prefer to exhaust all alternatives that we can even at major cost. i simply don't hold myself as the boss of anyone on the matter providing they aren't killing a full developed child mentally. i'd simplify by saying i believe there is a white, grey, and black area. perhaps the white would be 1-1.5 months. grey 1.5-2 or so months, black there on out. those are just spitballed numbers, i know fuckall about fetus development timelines.
