You're adding words to the definition. A parasitic relationship does not require two different species, just two organisms. A human growing in a womb fits the dictionary definition of "parasite" that I provided exactly.
No, aborting a human life in the womb is not akin to a death sentence. It's removing a parasitic human from the host it needs to survive. So, back to my original point: Does a woman not have the right to decide who is inside her own body? Or does she not have the right to use lethal force to defend that right?
Actually, misread your post, sorry. I assumed you meant the rational thing: that they are the same species so one can't be parasitic to the other. A developing human in the womb is most certainly a separate individual organism. Either it's two separate humans involved or the developing human isn't an individual organism yet. You can't have it both ways.
So I take it you don't have any logical arguments about the two clauses in that sentence either.
in most cases the woman is partially responsible for the baby inside her...her actions put the baby there....and the baby is in the exact place where it's supposed to beMy stated view is that a woman has the right to decide who is allowed in her body, and to defend her decision. If you think that's strange then you certainly have a strange perspective yourself.

It wasn't trolling at any rate. Commentary comes in all formsI'm sorry but your avatar is a sockpuppet. How are we to take that?

Not when the child is a genetic offspring.
We are humans not plankton.
And when I read arguments that are equal to a load of tripe, there's not much to say except to repeat the weakest aspects of the argument---it's more like mocking than anything else.
Actually, @redleghunter, I've already given you the benefit of the doubt before. You've been nothing but extremely uncharitable and haven't yet addressed the actual points. I'm not wasting my time on conversations that lack genuine effort to understand and be charitable, so I'm not replying to you anymore either.
Actually it's a micrograph of a hookworm. Are you seriously making fun of my avatar?
Claiming that a parent and offspring are the same organism is certainly an interesting assertion, but I doubt anyone who studies biology will agree with you (myself included).
Biggest probably due to the murder of over 50 million human lives due to abortion (US only).
I understand why people want it to be so. To ease their conscience from murder.
