But abortion is not the subject.
Abortion is not the subject, life is. You may have to do some research on this topic. Many premature fetus are born and are alive. Thinking and feeling? A fetus can do that too. When humans set the criteria for what is "Life" that's when we get in trouble. A new born can't fend for itself, if left alone it will die, it is dependent on it's mother...the same as an unborn fetus. When an elderly person has Alzheimer's we don't know what feelings or thoughts that person has - should we kill them? We tread on dangerous ground when we, as humans, choose or decide when life begins and ends; when feeling and thoughts begin and end. There is no danger when we use conception as the beginning of life. Setting arbitrary parameters is dangerous. Hitler set his parameters for life; no Jews, no Poles, no priests, no crippled, no mentally handicapped.
