You’re changing your hypothetical as often happens in these types of arguments. You’re arguing from emotion rather than fact, and the facts will always add up to It’s *her* pregnancy.

It’s not my choice. If it was my choice I would choose pro-life. And I was quite clear, it’s *her* pregnancy, our child.

As for why? I’ve already said why. She is the one that’s pregnant, not me. It’s 100% her body and 50% her child, only 50% my child.

And that’s just if I’m the father. If I’m not the father than it’s none of my business unless she asks me for advice.

That tired old saw from the dead souls is so glaring: "If I’m not the father than it’s none of my business unless she asks me for advice." ... Well then, we could save lots of money being spent on maintaining a police force everywhere, because if 'she decides to murder her dependent children, well, since you're not the father of those alive children (and the little ones in the womb are alive human beings dependent upon their mother) then it's none of your business and we presume none of society's business.

America is either for protecting the very young or it is not. You are not, so drop the charades don'tchaknow.

Your focus is on the *pregnancy* instead of the CHILD.

Because of this...my hypothetical changes nothing. The focus IS the CHILD. AND...the genetics come from both parents...but the CHILD belongs to God.

“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you...” (Jeremiah 1:5)

The BASIS for law that forbids the killing of another (except in defense of life) IS God’s law. We should ALL stand for that. According to God’s law, she has NO such choice....just as I have NO such choice to euthanize my unwanted 2 year old....and you have NO such choice to kill your next-door neighbor no matter how much he annoys you.
