I believe all life is sacred
Well Phil I don't have that belief. I'm actually pro voluntary euthanasia and capital punishment as there are some evil buggers out there that should just be put against a wall and blown away for their crimes.
You mention a woman's "choice". The freedom for an individual to
choose is indeed important. That freedom should not be impinged upon, unless that individual choice impacts detrimentally (or in the case of abortion, lethally) on another individual. A foetus
is undoubtedly a human and an individual.
There may be exceptional cases where abortion can be justifiable homicide such as self preservation, defense etc.
Individuals can
'choose' whether to end their life which is voluntary euthanasia
Criminals that commit capital crimes '
choose' to commit those capital crimes.
Woman can
choose whether to or not to get pregnant.
But when it comes to babies, kids, teens, old people, insane people society protects them because society deems that as individuals they don't have the capacity to '
choose' for themselves.
I believe that life begins at conception. You don't need a qualification to figure that out. Take away the conception and there is no foetus, no baby, no child, teen or adult human. Society should protect the life so it can live and make its own choices.
Once conception has occurred and abortion is sought, there are 2 choices to contend with, and life should overrule lifestyle.
That is my view.
