[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]An unborn child (fetus) is a human. Change my mind.[/quote]

No one is debating whether homo sapien fetuses are human. The debate is whether the rights of unborn humans who cannot viably live outside the womb trump the rights of the living females in whose wombs the fetuses reside.[/quote]

If it’s just a matter of wombs, then soon abortion won’t be necessary. Soon we will be able to “transplant” a fetus into another woman who would like a child or incubate it until it can be adopted. [/quote]

I sure hope this post was a total joke, but in case it wasn’t…

I don’t know what your idea of “soon” is. I don’t think this will be happening soon. Good luck finding a super low risk way to harvest embryos/fetuses from women’s bodies. Many women would not consent to such a procedure. It’s interesting that you didn’t mention science possibly giving us a way for men to gestate fetuses. Shouldn’t that happen before fetuses are gestated in sterile artificial wombs?

It’s horrifying that you think abortion would be obsolete if we could just coerce women with unwanted pregnancies to surrender their fetuses for adoption.[/quote]
