> Authoritarian is forcing a mother to have a child she doesn’t want! It’s her body!

And many pro-life folks say that you're killing a child. It's his/her body.

We don't allow parents to to kill 'inconvenient' child post-birth† so according to their argument neither should we pre-birth.

It’s not yet a child when you perform an abortion!


> It’s not yet a child when you perform an abortion!

Just to be clear: are we talking about the pre-birth situation or the post-birth situation (as practice in the Netherlands)?


If they are born it’s not an abortion anymore! Although I do support euthanasia… had I had some serious defect I wish my parents had the decency to kill me early on or have an abortion.


When does the fetus become a child?
