I guess I better explain my views a little before this thread devolves any further. In order to avoid semantical arugment, all word definitions are common knowledge/use. I will not be arguing with anyone over the meaning of a word that everyone uses daily.
1. I do not support abortion on demand.
2. I would happily support a law over-turning Roe and (because it’s not the same thing) outlawing abortion.
3. I do believe in the rape exception with the caveat being that it must be a reported rape, it must be confirmed medically in a hospital emergency room and the victim should be counseled that she may be pregnant. I would even agree that she be told that the possible baby is innocent in this and she be encouraged to deliver and adopt the child out if she could not see herself raising a child that was forced upon her. I also believe that the “morning after pill” should be made available, once the rape kit and all counseling in the ER is complete. This would be the rape victims’ only chance to ensure that she would not be forced to deliver her rapists child.
4. I do not believe that a fertilized egg is a baby anymore than a fertilized chicken egg is a chicken.
Then why are you opposed to abortion at all?
If it's not a person, what's the problem with killing it?
Name one human being subsequent to Adam and Eve who was not at some point what you refer to as "a fertilized egg."
Just one.
“fertilized egg could become a person”
Are you joking??? A fertilized egg IS a person. Taking a simple high school biology class could teach you that.
