Hi again, Ann!!!

I agree with you totally about the mother being in control of whether she has an abortion, but I think we have different ideas about whether the fetus has a soul. I still support abortion as the best alternative if the birth of the baby would almost certainly result in intense suffering. I just believe the fetus does have a soul.

Is it more common in the different philosophies around abortion, that proponents would argue that the fetus does not have a soul?

I think this is a separate issue from viability, incidentally. In other words, I am arguing that a non-viable fetus has a soul--that viability is not significant on this part of the issue.
