There's a big difference between cutting your arm off and killing a child.

True, but the point was no one is in favor of abortions or amputations; rather, most people support the right of an individual's decision to have those operations if they choose.

You said you think it's a child once it's viable. I propose to you a one year old isn't viable because it would starve not being able to feed itself.

I was trying to suss the logic of the Supreme Court's decision, and viable apparently means able to survive outside the womb with proper medical support. The average one year old is certainly viable with minimal (if not zero) medical support. Test it. Abandon a one year old in a mall somewhere, he's going to survive without medical support.

The US averages 1500000 abortions a year, 80% to unmarried women. It's birth control.

Yup, it's certainly not a birth multiplier! Your point?
