If you decide not to give your infant the vitamin K shot, and they die, you deserve every ounce of grief that comes to you. Because your stupidity ripped something beautiful from the world. The only thing more just would be if you suffered in prison.If you got into a car crash with you and someone else, and you woke up in a hospital with a line connecting you and the other guy in the accident. The doctor says “if you remove this line between you transmitting your blood and nutrients, the other person will die. You cannot leave the hospital until they recover in a little under a year.” Is removing the line manslaughter? Generally, no. Because in an instance like that, your bodily autonomy comes before that persons ability to survive.
Now imagine instead of another person with feelings and an identity and a life, it’s an unformed unthinking unborn fetus. Most abortions come early in pregnancy, meaning what they’re removing isn’t even a fully formed human by any standards. If you wanna argue that an abortion taking place when the baby could otherwise survive outside the mother is manslaughter. I might even agree with you. But that doesn’t happen like, ever. Because they can just like, remove the baby.
First we should be able to have a conversation without you insulting me brother. Secondly in terms of independence I was referring to being removed from the body and living. A baby can be removed from a mother and live. A baby can breathe on its own, drink on its own (baby formula), but before birth it relies on nutrients from a specific person. Even if we provide a fetus with the rights of a citizen, what right says it has access to another person’s body against that person’s will?
