You want a 13 year old popping a kid out of her vagina?
No, I don't. But I think that's the better option than killing her kid.
That's why you terminate the pregnancy before it's a kid.
Is that how you sleep at night? "It's not a kid yet; just because I stopped it from having a chance at life doesn't mean I killed it..."
Exactly. Just like when I stopped the rest of my sperm from having a chance at life when I wore a condom.
Geez, stop using technicalities. Fetuses are alive. Sperm is not alive. DShiznit was referring to "living life," aka doing stuff.
Calling a fetus 'alive' is a technicality. It was never even born. So you're referring to an unborn baby as 'un-living life?' Sounds a lot like a zombie to me, and last I heard, shotgun-ing zombies in the face was socially acceptable. And I believe most abortion clinics take care of manners in a much less cruel way.
I was not using "living" as an adjective. I use it in the sense one would say, "This is how I am living my life." So DShiznit is saying to give the baby a chance to live his/her life.
Sperm don't have enough chromosomes. A fetus does. A fetus is complete in the sense that it is technically alive, and genetically distinct from its parents; sperm and eggs are not.
When there are independent brain waves, or an independent heartbeat, it is an independent human life. The problem is defining where that life begins, which is why I think we should air on the side of caution.

I agree completely. Terminate the unwanted pregnancy before it causes permanent damage to the mother and before she goes through the rest of her 9 month pregnancy for a child she can't support.

Sperm and eggs are absolutely alive. You keep saying they aren't, but they most certainly are. Chromosomes are not essential to life. They are essential to HUMAN life, but they are not essential to life.
