[b]God dammit, I do NOT believe that the embryo is a human being!!!!![/b] The beliefs of you, Akin, and your Aunt Fanny have NO bearing here! Apply your beliefs to YOUR uterus and its contents, NOT. MINE. And not anyone who is not YOU.[/quote]

So if I shoot someone because I don't believe they are a human being, does that make it ok?

If a woman drowns her 3 month old because she says they aren't a human being, is that ok?

Why do the beliefs of others matter in those situations but not in the case of abortion? [/quote]

No, because the three month old and others are not dependent upon a single individual who may or may not want it around for its existence. Others can take over for the parent of the newborn. No one can take over for the pregnant woman. These are not opinions, these are facts. It is also a fact that, with our current technology, the embryo cannot exist without her body. It should not exist without her consent. A popular sci fi theme involves uterine replicators, where an embryo can be gestated in a machine. Were that technology available, the debate would necessarily change. But as long as the meeting of two cells requires the body of an individual to reach its potential personhood, that individual must be in control.
