Again there really isn’t. They already have the main organs we base the medical definition life on by week 5, the only change by birth is how much those organs develop, there’s a far greater difference between a newborn and a 1 year old developmentally than a 5 week fetus and a newborn.
The question is whether it's a 'child', not whether it's 'life'.
Give me a break. A 5 week fetus can't even feel pain.
Do you also want to prosecute women who are raped or violated with incest, who have abortions?
It’s not, there’s no argument a fetus is a child by every single metric. The only debate that occurs is whether it is alive and/or even if it is alive does it have rights.
False, even zygotes can feel pain in the regards to reacting to stimuli, a 5 week fetus has functioning nerves, it can most certainly feel pain.
Do you want to murder the children of people who commit crimes?
It's alive. But it doesn't follow that there should be no distinction made between 5 weeks and 36 weeks.
Nonsense. An aversive reaction - which even bacteria have - is not the same as consciousness.
And this is where this goes completely off the rails. I don't think rapists should be able to pick the mother of their choosing. If someone's life was dependent on me for 9 months, and I never asked for it, I'll disconnect that and let it die even if it were Einstein or Vivaldi.
What’s your distinction? Again everything is there at 5 weeks, the only thing that occurs after is development.
Consciousness is not a basis of life by any definition, people in a coma are unconscious but alive, people asleep are unconscious but alive.
Then you agree we should be able to eliminate the children of murderers. There’s a reason rapists serve time comparable to murder and that basis was formed before abortion was legalized, do you know why that is?
