What does fully developed mean? The frontal lobe does not fully develop until one’s late twenties. Are people not people before then?
Yeah, I probably used the term “fully developed” wrong. What I mean is human that is fully (or close to it) developed in the womb and is ready (or close to it) to life
Who decides why a line should be drawn between various trimesters, and not, say, at conception, when a unique genetic code is created?
Because there are a great many developments that happen post conception that actually makes the fetus more than just semi living genetic code. So to speak.
Why should the helpless fetus/embryo have even its chance to have a life taken from it? Adoption is also a possibility, though I admit that it is not that simple.
With adoption a person can be put in a toxic environment in which they can be abused. Furthermore they can have feelings of inadequacy and abandonment.
And again why should a woman lose more control over her body? It’s as if she’s being punished for being raped. How I see it it’s pretty much telling her “I know you’ve been through a traumatic event and all but deal with it for the sake of the unborn baby you did not ask for”
