Let's pretend that even if we just think it's potentially a person it's still a tough choice.

Why would it be a tough decision unless we know intuitively that an unborn child is a person?
So if you got into a relatively minor car crash with a woman who is 2 weeks pregnant....and she loses the baby immediately afterwards....you think that you should be charged with manslaughter?
Let's pretend that even if we just think it's potentially a person it's still a tough choice.
If the person was driving drunk, yes.
What do you mean by "potentially a person"?
Oh no my friend...if you were just going 5 miles over the speed limit that can be considered "reckless driving" and charged with manslaughter can carry 5-30 years depending on the state you're in. So let's hear it? Plead guilty and do the time?
Mom may only have gotten a nasty bump on the head but her baby is gone...
What part of "potentially a person" don't you understand?
The issue there would be whether someone going five miles over the limit should ever be charged for manslaughter for that. But if they should, then in this scenario where the baby is killed, they should be charged with manslaughter.
An unborn baby is no less human than you or me.
I don't know what you mean by it.
Well that's where you and I disagree...at just two weeks it's significantly less human than you or me.
Do you think newborns are less human than you?
Here is further evidence making it clear that being pro-life isn't just a religious argument. I post this in response to a previous post:

You're talking about a person who has been born? I just wanna be sure we got the same definition for "newborns".
I don't know about saying the majority are, but yes, miscarriage is not uncommon.And lets not forget, the majority of pregnancies are naturally aborted on their own.
Well that's where you and I disagree...at just two weeks it's significantly less human than you or me.

It can't be a religious argument. Not when the god identified is suppose to be the role model for the religious as to right behavior. If the god of any religion kills babies in utero, it can't be argued that that same god is against abortion.
The argument that a god is god and therefore can do anything that god wants doesn't correlate to righteous example. The do as I say not as I do argument.
Because arguing that humans can't choose to abort when that particular human's god does is saying the human, by human edict alone, since the god aborts at will, must assume a higher moral standard of right-ness, (righteousness) than does the god they worship.
All gods of every religion kill at will.
Humans then should assume a greater respect for life than the god they worship?
I don't know about saying the majority are, but yes, miscarriage is not uncommon.
When two humans copulate, one inseminates the other who has ovaries and an egg, what is created?Well that's where you and I disagree...at just two weeks it's significantly less human than you or me.
Actually, only women would be the one's aborting. Spontaneous, by God's will, or by the woman's own choice.God doesn't abort. People do.
