Late Term Abortion

[Craterus]

Yes, I know that nothing special happens when you're eighteen; but it's sort of more special to decide if something is murder or not. A line would have to be relatively arbitrary yes; but it does not have to be one hundred percent arbitrary; as in, let's just pick a random number of weeks.
24 sounds fine just because the baby has a greater chance to survive premature birth? Bollocks, look to the physical attributes that has got to do with conscience. If you're killing a vegetable that has no hopes what so ever to regain any sort of conscience; how on Earth is that equal to killing someone that has great chances to survive the coma and be just fine after a few months? (point: their lives are both 100% dependant on support)

And that's where the violinist example comes in. It's talking about dependency. Hence why I mentioned it.

If the baby is dependent on the mother, then she should have the right to choose to get rid of it.

There's another analogy I like about seeds but I'm a little hazy so you can look it up if you're interested.
