First and foremost, the mother is the most important being here, the fetus does not even come close to importance of any kind, unless the mother herself deems her fetus important enough. |

I'd be concerned for the minor - would they be forced to gestate against their will by their own parents? | I wouldn't bet too heavily on that premise.
Every young woman that I have known of having an abortion was aided and abetted by her "Christian" parent(s).
One of them was bullied into it against her will by her "Christian" mother who was much more concerned about how it would reflect on her for her teenage daughter to be pregnant than she was about the welfare of either her daughter or the fetus.

I guess, for people such as this mother, there is the question of which is more acceptable - to terminate an unwanted pregnancy, or be a teenage mother? | |

A innocent human in its first stages of life has no importance?? | |

Are you not among the same people on this board who aplauded a courts decision in Italy to make a 13 year old have a abortion cause her parents forced it? | |

She is the one who must carry the baby for nine months, after all, therefore she decides whether to keep the fetus or to remove it from her body. | |

That is a selfish and self centered point of view. Then again what else would you expect from someone who feels they have the right to determine human beings as medical waste. | |

How is a fetus even remotely like you or I? How can you compare it you or I, when it is vastly different? This I do not understand. I do not see my point of view as selfish, I simply believe that women have the right to make reproductive choices, including abortion. | |

Points: 20,338, Level: 89 | Level up: 90%, 12 Points needed | | We were all fetuses once. Every single walking breathing human. And even those that aren't any more. A fetus is as much like me as a newborn, or a toddler, or an adolescent or any other stage of human development. It's a stage we all pass through to get to where we are now.
An egg might not be a butterfly, but once it is fertilized, the larva and pupa stages are as much a butterfly and the winged creature that we see on spring days.
