| For all the discussion here, it all boils down the indisputable fact that pro-choicers are pushing what amounts to religious philosophy - arguing that life begins when a certain number of brain cells have developed, or that it begins when the baby starts kicking inside the mother.
But if we follow these philosophical theories to their logical conclusion, the pro-choice camp must answer this question:
If a doctor aborts a child who had developed just enough brain cells to be a human being, wouldn't you agree that he just committed a crime, like say, manslaughter? Murder might be a bit harsh, since he didn't intend to kill a living human being. But the end result was that a living human being died during the abortion process. So, is he guilty of manslaughter? |
