I'm guessing it has the DNA of a human rather than a marmoset.
Again, what statistics do you have to prove your point. Contraceptives like the pill are 99% effective but why is it that millions of children are killed in the hands of abortion doctors yearly? Where all of these kids a mistake of contraception?
I gave that as an example, not as the be-all and end-all story of abortion. I proposed that as a possible situation.
Something you failed to do when you accused all women who have abortions of being promiscuous skanks.
Excuse me but you are twisting my words. What I said was that the majority of the abortion are because of convenience. Also, statistics of pregnancy among teens do show promiscuity as the main reason for pregnancies that lead to abortions. The abortion statistics support that so if you have any statistics that will prove differently then please post them. I am not calling anybody names.
Yes, the fetus is not guilty regarding the promiscuity of the mother.
Might be a good idea to look at the motivations for women post-40 who get abortions
If a woman is not sure whether she is carrying a child or a piece of tissue (non person) should she risk terminating pregnancy?
In all other cases the mother (oops that term implies a child), I mean woman, can never be sure she has not purposely taken an innocent life.
Question: Could it be this uncertainty and the unthinkable implications of the decision encourages one's dogmatic stance that what the woman is carrying is DEFINITELY not a person?
The result is a seared conscience. The Lady McBeth Syndrome applied to the conscience.
Here are some statistics:
WHO HAS ABORTIONS?
http://abort73.com/HTML/II-A-abortion_statistics.html
- At least 80% of all abortions are performed on unmarried women (CDC).
- The abortion ratio for unmarried women is 510 abortions for every 1,000 live births. For married women it is 61 abortions for every 1,000 live births (CDC).
- Women between the ages of 20-24 obtained 33% of all abortions (CDC).
- 50% of U.S. women obtaining abortions are younger than 25; women aged 20-24 obtain 33% of all U.S. abortions and teenagers obtain 17% (AGI).
- Adolescents under 15 years obtained less than 1% of all abortions, but have the highest abortion ratio, 773 abortions for every 1,000 live births (CDC).
- 47% of women who have abortions had at least one previous abortion (AGI)
Here is a study covering the reasons given for an abortion.
Reasons given for having abortions in the United States
by Wm. Robert Johnston
last updated 9 October 2008
Summary: This report reviews available statistics regarding reasons given for obtaining abortions in the United States, including surveys by the Alan Guttmacher Institute and data from seven state health/statistics agencies that report relevant statistics (Arizona, Florida, Louisiana, Minnesota, Nebraska, South Dakota, and Utah). The official data imply that AGI claims regarding "hard case" abortions are inflated by roughly a factor of three. Actual percentage of U.S. abortions in "hard cases" are estimated as follows: in cases of rape or incest, 0.3%; in cases of risk to maternal health or life, 1%; and in cases of fetal abnormality, 0.5%. About 98% of abortions in the United States are elective, including socio-economic reasons or for birth control. This includes perhaps 30% for primarily economic reasons.

This sort of either/or proposition is one of not viewing the forest for the trees. A wanted pregancy often results in words, thought, and feeling by the woman and her significant others expressing the fetus as a child, and so it is. However, legally and correctly, it is not a "child" truly until after birth and any assertion otherwise is merely an emotionalistic argument for civil authority and/or moralistic finger-wagging to control her and she is properly warned to ignore such chatterings.
No, but reality and the awarenbess of it does.
The "seared conscience' is entirely the creation of those seeking to control the woman and should appropriately be disregarded.
Regardless of the reasons, if a woman wants an abortion that is her business and it is most definitely not the business of society to wag its collective finger. The right to abortion by women should be absolute within medical protocols.
So the baby has no rights? Just condemned to death without a trial or cause?

I sure am thankful that not all feel as you do, otherwise my 22 year old son would be dead. His birth mom chose to allow him to live amid difficult circumstances. It was hard for her; but my son (by adoption) is a wonderful guy and a blessing to so many. And her conscience is clear.
When he was helpless in the womb, his mom was counseled to consider adoption rather than abortion.
Btw, my son made chicken jumbalaya for us tonight. Mighty tasty.

Rebecca Kiessling's story (short form):
I was adopted nearly from birth. At 18, I learned that I was conceived out of a brutal rape at knife-point by a serial rapist. Like most people, I'd never considered that abortion applied to my life, but once I received this information, all of a sudden I realized that, not only does it apply to my life, but it has to do with my very existence. It was as if I could hear the echoes of all those people who, with the most sympathetic of tones, would say, Well, except in cases of rape. . . ," or who would rather fervently exclaim in disgust: Especially is cases of rape!!! All these people are out there who dont even know me, but are standing in judgment of my life, so quick to dismiss it just because of how I was conceived. I felt like I was now going to have to justify my own existence, that I would have to prove myself to the world that I shouldnt have been aborted and that I was worthy of living. I also remember feeling like garbage because of people who would say that my life was like garbage -- that I was disposable. Read more, here...
A fetus is not a baby.
Why are pregnant moms given a baby shower?
