life that is intertwined with life... that aren't separate.


They aren't separate in the same way conjoined twins are not separate. Its life entwined with life, or more specifically one distinct human life, entwined with another distinct human life.

In addition to the fact that a distinct individual is killed in abortion...

This whole I can't decided because I'm a man theme is ridiculous.

Either the fetus has no moral significance, or at least a relatively small amount of significance, in which case outlawing abortion would be wrong.

Or the fetus is a distinct human with the rights of humans, and so abortion is a severe injustice to the fetus.

Either way being a man has nothing to do with it.

If a fetus was just a piece of the mother with no important moral significance, then it wouldn't be any more your business if you where a woman unless it was your abortion.

If its the unjust and immoral snuffing out of a human life than you don't have to be a particular sex to point that out.
