| Topic | So I can be abortion bounty hunter in Texas? |

It's not 2/5s or 3/5s of a person. The idea behind viewing it as a murder is that the child is a person, it has nothing to do with the mother's ownership. Really, murder is bad for two reasons: It deprives the victim of their ability to live their desired life (oversimplifying, but that's the gist of it), and it causes great sorrow and hardship for everyone that cares for and/or depends upon the victim. In the case of fetal homicide/abortion, the victim doesn't particularly have a desired life (being barely conscious and whatnot), so the only consideration is the loss that would be suffered by those that care for it. Before birth, that's pretty much just the parents, so in the case of abortion, they consent to that loss and no actual harm is done (again, oversimplifying it, abortion's generally a pretty emotional experience). In the case of fetal homicide, they don't consent to that loss, so harm is done. --- This is my signature. It exists to keep people from skipping the last line of my posts. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
