It is a viable means of birth control and there is nothing wrong with it. Frankly, I wish there were more abortions. It would combat the overpopulation problem.

The question of whether a foetus is deserving of moral consideration is a philosophical one. It is not inherently religious or scientific.

I don't think sex ed needs to go as far as to cover abortion as abortion is something decided after sex rather than something you plan beforehand. Sex ed should stick to teaching about sex and include birth control & contraceptives.

No, it is biological. A fetus is an un-feeling cluster of cells, and personifying it is a laughable concept.

That is a philosophical argument. This is saying that being an unfeeling cluster of cells is sufficient grounds to say you aren't worthy of moral considerations. It also needs more nuance. Flowers and animals and so on are feeling clusters of cells, yet clearly don't have the same moral considerations as humans. A full explication of why this specific characteristic is sufficient to justify abortion goes well beyond mere biology.

It is literally a blob of cells. Sure, you can argue it has rights, but you can also argue a plant has rights. You can argue anything, but that doesnt make your argument coherent or valid.

The birth rate is plummeting in the United States. More people are dying than being born. This is the case for Europe, Japan, America and so on.

Overpopulation is a myth and every country that actively gets abortions is not one that is overpopulated.

Fuckin' incompetent statement. The first option LOL?!!!

Ideally, the first option would be to attempt proper protection. An abortion is a hassle, not as much hassle as having a kid, mind you, but it would be much more efficient to use a condom, and therefor lessen the probability of having to go to a clinic to get the abortion.

I don't oppose abortion, so don't get that dumb fuck idea. In nearly ALL cases, I fully support and champion abortion. THE ONLY time I oppose it, is if the mother waits till she's, like, 6 months pregnant, and then decides to abort. But that never happens, so not really even worth mentioning.

It's a circle argument.

I think the difference is that a fetus isn't sentient. Yes, it's alive, and yes it is sentient potential. However, it's not there yet.

You either agree with abortion, or you don't. I probably wouldn't do it myself, unless there was some sort of severe birth anomaly detected (see cyclopia), but I wouldn't stop someone else from doing it.

Is it OK to kill people with congenital analgesia? Is it OK to kill people asleep or in a coma, so long as you do it quickly so they don't feel it?

If your argument against the moral personhood of a foetus is that it can't feel pain, then you can apply the same reasoning to conclude that human beings in comas and human beings with congenital analgesia also lack moral personhood.

Your argument has changed now. Initially it was "able to feel pain", but now it is "has ever had a human brain".

Are you now talking about being human, or being a moral person? Because a foetus is unequivocally human, but what we're debating is whether or not a foetus qualifies as a moral person.

A corpse has had a human brain. Does that mean it is deserving of the same protections as a full-grown human? A corpse has less human functionality, present or future, than a foetus.

It's a pretty short (and simple, I think) post, but if you don't want to respond to it then that's algood.

Your argument supporting abortion changed between posts, so I just asked some simple follow ups to clarify what you meant.
