>The aborted fetus is {{{ MURDERED!!! }}} unless the woman is raped then the aborted fetus {{{ NOT SO MUCH MURDERED!!! }}}
As a rule, for the last few millennia, separated by thousands of miles of geography, it has been pretty much the same:
Philosophy - We don't count chickens until they're hatched.
Language - A pregnant woman hasn't had her baby yet. Everywhere she goes it's just her, not two people.
Biology - Biologists will tell you that when a living sperm fertilizes a living egg is just a continuation of living processes. The real change comes at the miracle of birth.
Legal - How old are you? Counting years and days back to what moment? Fertilizer Day? Of course not. It's your birthday. The day you were born is the day we celebrate. It's the day your life started, the moment you became a living being.
History - The ancient Sumerians, Egyptians, Hebrews, Greek, Romans, Persians, etc all had abortion-inducing techniques.
Religion - Not once in the holy books of the Abrahamic religions does is specifically proscribe abortion. In fact, the gods of the OT say some fetuses are wicked in the womb, indicating they should be aborted.
Culture - Fetal termination has had a continuous presence in all cultures on Earth for 8000 years of recorded history.
Ethics - the ethics of the state controlling/forcing women to give birth or abort. Hitler outlawed abortion. Stalin outlawed abortion. Mao outlawed abortion but China forced women to have abortions. It's always immoral for the state to take this decision away from women no matter how much it delights the misogynists and psychopaths.
Rights - A woman has the natural and inalienable right to decide for herself if she will become a mother or not. Childbirth is exclusively a woman's natural right. It's ethically wrong for any government to fail to respect those rights, especially natural rights from anyone without exceptionally good cause. Your misinformed opinion is the worst possible reason.
