"How would you answer your question?"

See post #35 And sorry it's 422 words. I don't develop arguments in simple yes and no propositions.

In the second part you are relating to an unborn fetus who has no capacity to do either right or wrong and so therefore can not be found to be either innocent or guilty of anything. Your comment does not make any sense. Kerberos

innocence \i-ne-sens\ n 1 : blamelessness; also : freedom from legal guilt 2 : guilelessness, simplicity; also : ignorance

I'm of the opinion that you've failed to frame the argument the way you would like the strawman to stand. The preborn are human, alive, individual, a separate life from the life supporting host, and when the brain begins functioning to direct the coherence of the organism, aware.

How about acknowledging the unborn to be human beings, alive and in third trimester aware. How would such individuals be compared to convicted criminals regarding the intentional killing of each, one by the state the other by a serial killer called an abortionist, protected by the state?
