BANG!

A human being "at that stage" is surviving in the natural world.
But not on it's own. It's not a viable life. It can't survive independent of the mother. A baby can.
If a well-regulated militia be the most natural defense of a free country, it ought certainly to be under the regulation and at the disposal of that body which is constituted the guardian of the national security.

uh huh

There are tens, if not hundreds of MILLIONS of adult people in this country who couldn't survive on their own in the natural world.

Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

And the answer should be:  every woman must have the right to decide for herself, on the basis of her own conscience informed by her experience,  her faith and those who love and support her.

The woman already made a decision.  The result of that decision led to a new life being created.

Most people, especially those raised in urban environments, are taught no survival skills. Take them from that unnatural environment and drop them into their natural environment and they will probably die without the aid of someone who does have survival skills. They aren't "viable" in the natural world.

I see you're being disingenuous in your response. I suppose that means you concede that 13 week old fetus is not viable.

The woman already made a decision.  The result of that decision led to a new life being created.

Obvious follow-up: What about in cases of rape?

Yes, it can. Of course it's an infant, and an adult has to care for it. But it does not depend on the mother to survive.

It is viable because it is in its natural environment.

Personally,  I believe that life begins at conception.  But that's not the issue.  The issue is whether the State should impose my moral view on others at the point of a gun.

And my answer is - of course not.

Wait - we impose our moral view on murderers.  We impose our views on child abusers, burglars and arsonists.  But, when it comes to killing babies we shouldn't?

Viability is the true test.

So who gets to decide what is viable?

Correct.  At least not before the fetus is viable.

Is it a moral view or a biological imperative?

The State is imposing a moral view on others at the point of a knife.

I'm simply not seeing how a woman being raped justifies a woman who wasn't raped to kill her child.

Ok. Then can THAT adult kill it?

Yet you advocate exactly that.  You unequivocally deny the right of the people of each State to formulate their own laws under Amendment X of the Constitution of the United States of America, supporting instead the tyranny of the court (the de facto 'state') to impose its will on an entire nation.

We've already debunked the viability argument.  Maybe you skimmed over that?

You take a viable egg and some good viable flour and you don't get a viable cake. It has get cooked in the oven.

If you take it out too soon, it's no good.

Same logic applies.

So the lesson here is to leave it in the oven until it's done.  Got it.
