Isn't this a very rare case? This women was extremely lucky to be born so early and survive. And i'm still pro-choice just because it's up to the women if she wants to keep her baby or not. I imagine most wouldn't abort but it should still be up to them. 

Finally, how can a state like Texas be against abortion but for the death penalty? How does that make any sense? 

because one is killing of an innocent and the other s punishing a convicted felon?

the better question is how liberals/statists/socialists/communists/facists/pregressives can be for abortion but against the death penalty.

Because there is a difference between "life" and "human life." Fetuses and persons in Persistent Vegatative States are both "alive" in the sense of animals, plants, or bacteria, but are they equally "alive" to others?

Sentience is what separates human life from other life, and we certainly have no qualms about disposing of other life when it is the more useful thing to do: annihilating whole bacterial species, slaughtering animals for food, mowing down trees for development. These things should all be done responsibly, but they are not, in themselves, morally abhorrent. So it is with euthanasia for the brain dead or abortion: these lack the key factor, sentience, that makes us special, which, as with destroying other types of life, should not be taken lightly or done casually, but ultimately it'll just make everything worse for everyone if we demand that all such life be protected (like radical environmentalists who would protect all species, endangered or not)

so when does it become human? 1 day. 3 months. 6 months. when it borm, three years after it born. 5 months 12 days 3 hours and 32 seconds? when. when would you set this arbitrary cut off of when its no longer a clump of cells and instead a human.

as far as i know no human has given birth to anything other than a human. never a dolphin, a dog, and bear, nope.

humans get pregnant with humans and give birth to humans.
