Have you watched a woman give birth, and then watched the baby take their first breath and open their eyes for the first time? I have, and I can tell you that those moments represent a *huge* change. Having witnessed that change, I believe that an unborn fetus is still a person-in-the-making, and that a born child is a person. I can understand how others might believe that personhood is achieved earlier, but I cannot understand how someone can believe that birth is just an "arbitrary" moment. It is a truly miraculous moment, and it's a huge change. Please tell me you understand that. |
yes birth is miraculous, so is the child.
but you view is completely illogical.
baby exiting the birth canal, 1 millisecond away from being born = not human. therefore can be terminated, and discarded.
baby half way exits the birth-canal with head portruding = not human? half human? can be terminated and discarded.
baby has been born but hasnt taken its first breath and/or opened its eyes = ????
