Absolutely!! Unless of course we are talking about "burdening" certain women (or certain men) with the inconvenience of giving birth to another person.
In this case, science has absolutely no place in the conversation!! I don't care when life starts!! No scientist should be allowed to weigh in on whether or not abortion is murder!!!!!
Following this logic, someone who kills a pregnant mother shouldn't be held liable for the murder of 2 people! And fathers who do not want to be fathers but are being forced into the situation should not be held liable for caring for a bundle of cells that they didn't want!
All of these double standards are tiring and gross!!
@Awesomo85 @ekZepp An fœtus in its very advanced phase can be considered a baby, for example. Getting out of the mother isn't what makes it a life to be protected. At least, a fœtus old enough to sustain life out of its mother on its own should be considered as such. #opinion
