The hard-reality is you have to pick between one or the other. You pick the fetus, while I'll pick the mother. If you kill a mother, what do you tell her other children, husband, and parents? I think a mother has a higher priority - she's got her elder parents to think of and her immediate family. I feel as if you ignored my points in my post, even though I took the time to present some information and some interesting POV. I think you could go back to my post and address each point as well as the perspective, rather than ignore all of them. I have a question for you: is it more ethical to let a fetus live until the 3rd trimester only to watch it get killed by delivery, or is it more ethical to let the fetus die earlier when you know 100% for a fact the fetus will die in/by the delivery? I know of an anti-abortion female that is so against abortion, she is intentionally carrying a fetus into the 3rd trimester that has zero chance of living once it is delivered, even though she was told by her doctor a long time ago that her fetus has ZERO chance of living during the delivery because it has a well-known chromosomal defect that means it will die at birth aka stillborn. To intentionally bring a non-viable fetus to the late stage of 40 weeks simply so she can deliver it to a painful death. And you would call that religious? RE: "Whatever happened to "finding common ground" anyway?" Well, then don't ignore my points. You can't get anywhere if you ignore the other person's points.
