Something that i find prettyd disgusting these days is how certain people put their political ideologies / viewpoints over human lives, for example, celebrating the russian invasion of ukraine because it is “a blow against US / NATO imperialism” completely ignoring all the warcrimes, the deaths, and the suffering generated by that war, the same happening with the palestinian genocide because “Israel is the only working democracy on the middle east”, acting like their ideoligies are going to bring back to life all the dead people somehow

    If the mother’s life is in danger than both her and the baby would die? But this situation is extraordinarily rare.

      That does not really change that you, like everyone else draw somewhere a line where it is ok to kill. Also you chose a point from where on you differentiate between just cells and a human being. It just happens that you chose implantation as this threshold, while at the same time you use things like heartbeat, pain and human appearance as your measures. And that does not add up.

        But if the foetus would die anyway, why would it be wrong to spare the mother’s life? I think overall we shouldn’t interfere with the process once fertilisation has happened.

          why would it be wrong to spare the mother’s life?

          Why do you ask me? I personally believe that abortion is such unique, intimate and personal decisions that society does not have a right to interfere with and should be decided by the mother with help of medical and psychological professionals (if needed). You are the one who said that killing is always wrong and we don’t even need to draw any line when it would be ok.

          I think overall we shouldn’t interfere with the process once fertilisation has happened.

          You are free to do so if you happen to get pregnant one day.
