And what makes the anti-abortionists right? Nothing. Not that the pro-abortionists are right either.

In this debate nobody is right because there is no universal definition of life, its generally agreed that by the time a baby is born it is human and that before it is conceived it is not, in between is a slightly grey area. Now what gives the anti-abortionists the right to push their views of when life begins on an extremely large segment of the population who believe differently?

 

So, if half the population considered a certain group of people not human, the other half is just supposed to allow them to do whatever they want to that group of people?  Reminds me of slavery.

 

Sounds like a fail attempt at an analogy. The white population's lives were never even at the tinies risk of being ruined by blacks being freed.

 

Your criticizing the example, not the analogy.  And if the white's were at some risk of having their lives ruined by the black's freedom, would that have justified the slavery (not that I would consider most (if any) people live's would be ruined by their baby, when they could just give it up for adoption in the most extreme cases)?

 

Yes, if it's proven they would harm disasterously the life of the others. More problems in your example. Half of the population? Half the population is women yes but not everyone will get pregnant, and even less will have an abortion. Your example is just bad through and through.

Again you are equating a fetus to a born human. HUGE difference between the two there. Until a fetus does something to differentiate itself from that of a dog or a cat or another mammal in general, then it's not human.
