ngl, you comparing yourself to copernicus was pretty funny, thanks for the laugh. seriously though, copernicus was a scientist. what he discovered was based on facts, not feelings. society as a whole eventually accepted his findings. i already told you in previous posts how societies have evolved on countless issues throughout time, but also explained how it's irrelevant for this specific discussion.
If you think I am comparing myself to Copernicus, then you are pathetic in addition to not being able to read.
Hint to you genius: I was trying to show you and your tiny, atrophied brain that who is right is not determined by which side has more people on it.

it's simply a dumb analogy because your minority is not making a scientific argument, but a religiously motivated, moral one. meaning the decision as to who is "right" or "wrong" is not a matter decided by cold, hard facts, but by a weighing of priorities and interests (zygote's rights vs. women's rights / government intervention vs. free, equal, secular society...).
if anything, the role you should have chosen for yourself if you were honest is that of the church, desperately trying to prevent society from embracing reason and enlightenment, out of fear to lose control.
It's not a "religiously motivated, moral one". It's a matter of definition and logic. See below:
Abortion is the intentional killing of the unborn. The unborn is an organism that 1. has complete human DNA and 2. is alive. An organism that satisfies both of these conditions, is human life. Murder is the intentional killing of a human life. Therefore, abortion is murder.
