i am both, people should have a chioce but i really do not 100% support it. I am not one of those extremist whom force my views on other people. Animals and other things live and we kill them so because fetuses are living should not a valid point on anti-abortion.

 

 So for your logic since we kill other animals its ok for us to kill each other? Or since we eat other animals, is it okay to now be a cannible?

Man vs. Beast and Man vs. Man has its differences, one being the fact that you should feel more empathy towards your fellow man or woman than towards an animal. That is at least what morals we have been taught to accept.

 

But animals can actually feel and understand pain.  Its questionable whether or not the fetus can feel anything, let alone can process what it is.

So you are saying that life matters but that life doesn't matter?  I think someone is a worse person who tortures an animal than who gets an abortion.

 

Life always matters, but there is a hierarchy built inside of all of us, instilled inside of us. Preservation of mankind is greater than other species for most people, and if you see a fetus as a potential person, who wouldn't fight to save it? Those who don't see it as a person.

 

I was questioning his logic. He said that since we kill animals and other living things, then killing this potential human is the same thing and should be treated the same as lets say, killing a chicken. But we all know that a human life is worth more in our society than a chickens.
