Any baby doesnât have the bodily function to survive on its own. Does that mean anyone can just end their childâs life because it canât fend for itself? Is that the argument weâre using to determine viability? Every medical professional understands that life begins at conception. Just because itâs not fully developed doesnât mean it has any less value.
You're splitting hairs. No, im not talking about the peopleâwell, some of them, we have more than a few bigots hereâI'm talking about the fact that we have no public transit, the governments here hate minorities and women and the homeless, and a slew of other issues, like the ID verification BS. Again, besides the food, what is there to love about Texas that is unique to Texas? Don't say "the people", people are everywhere. You can hate a state and still appreciate the few good people here.
The government determines all those things. I think you're just trying to start an argument. It's obvious what I was talking about when I said this state sucks. You can find good geography in plenty of other states. The few "okay" things Texas has do not make up for all the other things I listed. If you believe otherwise, you're speaking from a place of massive privilege
Im definitely not trying to start an argument lol. Iâm quite confused on where Iâm wrong, though. All Im seeing you say is that the government isnât the best, which I agree. Iâm just saying there are nice things about Texas. Im not saying you canât hate the place, but surely hatred isnât the only thing, or else you wouldâve moved Im sure. Something is keeping you here that makes the place good for you ÂŻ\_(ă)_/ÂŻ
A fetus is alive and its human, but I donât consider it a person until the nervous system is developed enough that it can form a consciousness. A living organism that canât think, feel, or experience pain is no different to me than a carrot. We kill livestock every day with more consciousness and emotion than a second term fetus, with more capability of suffering, and we still enjoy our steak and pork chops.
I would feel different about late term abortions for the same reason, but the week of consciousness is roughly the same week as viability. If drs believe the fetus has a possibility to survive, theyâll deliver instead of abort. It isnât medical protocol to kill the fetus before it dies naturally outside of the womb unless itâs considered too much a threat to the mother not to do so, or more humane for the fetus to do so.
You assuming that the fetus is in less pain while in the womb with its mother vs the cold air, where they are all struggling to breathe because the lungs are the least developed organ at that stage, feeling pain in places they never had to while being touched and held and unsuspended in amniotic fluid is an assumption. I used to work as a PCT in the NICU. The cries are haunting.
No one has the right to live off of the body of another human being against that humanâs will, even a child does not have the right to live off the body of their mother. Why should fetuses be entitled to superior rights than born human babies? Especially when fetuses are non-sentient?
