I'm about as far left as they come; but seeing the argument "A fetus is essentially a parasite" is biologically incorrect; and the only reason that this argument exists is as a method to attempt to dehumanized a developing fetus), so it seems like it is not immoral to kill it. In reality, a human fetus is genetically a human being, and the womb exists to hold the developing fetus until it is ready for birth. So, if aborting a fetus, you are in fact executing a human being.
This is the question that should be asked; what circumstances makes it ok to grant the execution of developing human being?
Arguments about how abortion prevents crime are philosophically and scientifically unfounded. How is this logically the case? Do you have statistics to support that the aborted children would have been criminals? It could also be argued using the same logic that infanticide would lower crime. |
I'd suggest reading freakanomics...
Outside that, all of them would have been criminals?
No.
That a higher percentage of them would be criminals then the average populace?
Yes.

Although if this is a justification for abortion, then it would also be a justification for infanticide and genocide of locations with high crime rates.
It's essentially eugenics, something which was universally rejected in the first world a long time ago.

Like I said. That's an arguement that's made.
I don't particularly agree with it.
I think abortions should be allowed up until higher brainwaves... because at that point your only killing a potential human.
And additionally, while it should be legal, you should feel pretty awful for doing it.
