<I call that begging the question >

"You call it whatever you want..."

That's what it is, so that's what I'll call it. It's not just my opinion, it's factually verifiable. The question of abortion centers on whether the fetus is a distinct Human being or is like a fingernail (which is just another part of the one individual Human beings body). You begged the question when you claimed the "ONLY" (caps yours) person involved or who had an interest in a particular abortion was the mother.

If it is the case that the ONLY person involved in an abortion is the mother, and the fetus is not a human being, then no justification for an abortion is needed. If on the other hand there are TWO individual Human beings involved and one of them is killing or having the other killed, then there can be virtually no justification ever given for abortion. I would qualify that by saying in the case where the actual life of the mother is in danger of being lost if she were to go through with a pregnancy there would be a strong moral case to be made to justify an abortion in that instance. That's always been my position. All you had to do was ask.
