You wrote (ignorantly): "I do not agree. A child which has been born is quite different than a potential child which exists within the environment of a woman's body." What the hell is a 'potential child', you dolt? At what magic poofter moment does your hypothetical 'potential' become an actual?
A baby is a potential adult but does not become an actual adult if killed by a person freely choosing to drink alcohol and drive a car. We all have the potential to make good or poor decisions, what we have to deal with is the actual decision. Potential is what might happen, actual is what has happened. An aborted zygote might have lived or might have been still born and/or might have caused the death of the mother - those are all potential outcomes. An actual baby has been through the whole process of conception, gestation and birth - all of which takes place within and dependent upon the body of a woman; the stages of development after that are in the environment we all share.
There is, of course, a great deal to this subject and you might be able to better understand my position on this by reading other posts I have made on this thread.
Apology accepted. This is a very serious subject and it is understandable that many get upset discussing it.
