When does human personhood begin?

[MoonLancer]

our rights should be afforded to us at conception.

you mean like marriage and drinking and driving?

An individual is grown, A fetus is not an individual because it does exhibit treats of an individual except for dna. After birth it grows into an individual, through experience of the world

i dont know why people have trouble with abortion, but they have no trouble killing animals, trees, or other people in war.

lol

You know i really REALLY wonder about that. My best guess is that abortion was molded into a religious and political tool to fire up its base. The same goes for gay marriage
.
Most deaths in the usa are caused by cars or heart problems, but you don't see people picketing the car factories and fast food joints.

Very good point.

Its not okay to abort a four-day old fetus, but its okay to support cancer and disease causing corporation and business. Its not okay for women to have a choice over their own bodies, but its okay to support guns, manifest destiny(native genocide), and radiological/toxic waste-producing plants and factories.

Is an 8 month old baby not an individual?

I don't think so. However i have a different reason why i think its wrong to have a 8 month abortion

I would ague that because the fetus at 8 months is able to survive outside of the womb that it would be wrong to abort a fetus at 8 months. I would ague at any time that it could survive outside the womb would make it wrong to abort.

However i think provisions for birth complications should be taken into account.
