Abortion is Wrong

I will not be replying again to your "human" argument. You clearly do not understand what I have said and therefore I will only respond to your ignorant statement with a question: if a person is disabled and in a wheelchair and requiring someone to look after them, are they also not human since they cannot help themselves or live on their own? Foetuses do eat- they are fed nutrients by their mother. Just because it doesn't go through their mouth doesn't mean anything. They are also given oxygen by their mother- there is no air bubble inside the mother so they can't use their lungs even when they're developed. This doesn't make them part of some other species. Please try to understand that a baby/foetus can't be anything but human. Also, even when they're born, they can't reproduce straight away. A foetus is not "nails and hair". It is alive and growing and developing. And viruses are not cellular organisms, or they would be alive. And no, a baby can't grow on its own. It has to be fed by someone or it will die. What is the difference between breast/bottle feeding and being fed through an umbilical cord? Don't sick people have to be fed intravenously through tubes when they can't eat? By your reasoning, a sick person is not a human being. I'm going to skip all your arguments that imply the foetus is not human or alive because they are irrelevant, as evidence points to a foetus actually being human and alive. I am now going to expand on why I believe abortion is unnecessary. In Ireland, abortion is illegal, but doctors cannot refuse treatment to pregnant mothers. Therefore they are forced to work to their utmost to protect both mother and baby. Abortion is not offered as a solution because it is not needed. While the child may die inadvertently due to the treatment, the chances of this are far lower than if every sick mother was offered abortion instead. Ireland has been quoted, by the UN, to be one of the safest places in the world to have a baby. World renowned cancer expert Dr Fr"d"ric Amant says, "In the case of cancer complicating a pregnancy, termination of pregnancy does not improve maternal prognosis."(1) For further reasoning on why abortion is unnecessary and how Ireland has progressed medically and morally, go to the cited source. On the topic of rape pregnancy: How can you know that a rape victim even wants an abortion? Here are some reasons why most rape victims choose not to have an abortion: ~70% of women believe abortion is immoral, though some believe that it should be available as a legal choice for others. About the same percentage of rape victims see it as just another act of violence against them. Some believe their child's life may have some meaning or purpose they don't know of yet. Others yet become introspective, and their sense of value for human life increases. They've been victimised, and the idea of victimising others (including their own innocent child) is unbearable. Also, at a subconscious level, the victim may believe that by carrying the pregnancy to term, they are able to conquer and overcome the rape. By giving birth, she may regain some of the self esteem she lost. Abortion is not some magical surgery that makes a woman ""unpregnant". It is a stressful and traumatic experience.
