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.
That's probably my biggest reason for being a bit against it. I don't really fully understand the process as I don't have kids and haven't informed myself enough about it specifically. I agree with you it isn't murder in the same vein as choosing to kill a human that has affected lives and society. An unborn fetus does affect certain people, but not on the same scale. I would never personally tell someone what to do either.
The uncertain thing is never knowing how healthy the kid could have been, and what they would have may or may not have given back to society. If it's a kid in a slum, well, I understand the reason to be pro-choice. I just can't commit to it myself.
I appreciate your post to piggyback my timidness to speak on the subject. It's so polarizing that I don't want to offend, but the reality is its going to happen regardless.
