    except in one hand you are allowing a person a risk of death while waiting for a donor that does not need to be you. the other hand, you are outright killing that person - and worst - the majority of reasons abortion is argued for is not even 10 % of all abortions. yes we have an obligation...

    1. may you provide an example of such a condition for discussion sake? only example I know well is when the child becomes stuck in fallopian tube. There is still a difference ethically by our response. 2. even in above case, this doesnt explain why induced abortion should be legal to public...

    Is or can abortions constitute selfishness in some cases?

    last i check, I was asked to present examples to support my claim that relying on legalities is not sufficient. my examples provide that. I also recognize attempts to deny who is human is not new to our history and have only been done to opress a group.

    Is or can abortions constitute selfishness in some cases?

    what ever you just typed up after yes makes no sense. ao lets focus on the yes for now. since it is an assumption. it is a fallacy. to argue that abortion is merciful to prevent bad things for that person who is killed is invalid. furthermore, this concept could be used as it has been used...
