"Now settle down charlie , and try to think rationally , just for a second . Have you ever heard of a tumor growing into a sentient life form as a fetus does ? I 'd appreciate a link documenting such an occurrence so we pro-lifers can start planning save the tumor rally 's ."
"Archangel is right on this one . It 's completely absurd to compare a tumour to a healthy fetus , which has a separate blood system , and in a relatively short space of time will be an independent person . It does no service to the pro-choice lobby to display the sort of attitude that says `` we do n't value human life `` . If you think abortion is an acceptable moral choice then you have to make a case either that the fetus is not human , is not an individual , is not alive , or is in some other way not worthy of respect . Or you have to make a case that ending it 's life is in some way justifiable in spite of these things . I am pro-choice , but only because I do n't believe you can legislate about an issue like this unless there is near unanimity . The suffering and anguish caused by banning abortion is substantial and should not be dismissed , but equally when abortion is legal it should not be seen as a substitute for contraception . How to achieve this is a difficult one , without causing psychological harm to women who feel they must make that choice ."
