"Most pregnancies that result in abortions are the result of informed, consensual, sex."

Almost ALL aborted teen pregnancies were UNWANTED pregnancies. So much for "informed" children. You better go back to your alien hypothesis!

Once a new life enters the picture, that life has rights as another Human Being"

Just a lie. A zygote is "new life" but it has no rights as a "Human Being". It has no rights of any kind. So why lie about it???

"Who is to say what your or my interest in living is?"

Anyone with a brain can say with absolute certainty that something without a brain or nervous system or mind has no interests of any kind. Nothing that happens in the universe makes a PERSON AL difference to an egg or a speck of dust. NOTHING.

"Also, Human Beings remain dependent for years at the very least"

They are individual persons without creating any biological interference in the rights of any other human being. Therefore, the principles of human rights can be upheld for all...instead of being placed in the hands of value interests such as the church to exercise their whims. Society has already survived those dark and burning times--though millions of individuals did not.

"Likewise consciousness to some extent is already present in babies that are aborted"

It is possible in very late term abortions that there is some response to stimuli. Consciousness is another issue and a subject of debate. And it is not at all about the consciousness you are thinking of.

The Canadian Medical Policy Guidelines are that Abortions after 20 months must be restricted to issues of health concerns. Society has a conscience and they act with perhaps too great an abundance of caution but I suppose caution is not a bad guidance to follow...

"a glaring inconsistency in the Pro Abortion position"

I have never heard of a "Pro Abortion position". This is another of your deliberate misrepresentations which makes it an OUTRIGHT LIE BEFORE YOUR GOD.

"Does an unconscious individual lose their status as a Human Being when they lose consciousness?"

We were not talking about human individuals but yes...the inability to regain consciousness (if medical experts are convinced there is no underlying interest in life) means that difficult decisions have to be made. I guess one could call such euthanasia "late term person abortion" but let us not confuse our terminology. Mercy killing is done for human persons. While fetal killing is often merciful and done for those reasons, I don't think using the term mercy killing for brain dead fetuses would clarify matters as they are not people.

"A toddler is no more, or less, a Human Being than a teen or an adult or a fetus."

A toddler is 100% more of a human PERSON than a fetus. A fetus does not have individual existence and therefore can have no personal rights without society completely collapsing the principles of fundamental rights. And I do mean COMPLETELY COLLAPSING.

"The truth is that it's the Pro Abortionists who wish.."

Again, I have never heard of a "pro-abortionist". You are deliberately trying to undo the distinction between people who support human rights and people (if any such exist) who just like abortions. This deliberate misrepresentation is what makes you the most prolific and unconscionable liar on Silicon Investor--BAR NONE.
