    It’s not a baby. It’s a blob. It has no sentience and the mother doesn’t want it in her body. It’s basically a parasite.

            Except for the laws that punish people who seek medical aid. As exemplified by the post. Also flase equivalency.

                It doesn’t exist except it’s on the law books. OK.

                It is an entirely false equivalence. Because a fetus isn’t a child until further in development.

                    Great who determines it’s an “emergency”? With how poorly worded gop policies are it’s too much of a grey area to risk for many people when the punishment is jailtime or worse. A fetus is a fetus is it’s not an adolescent, more false equivalency. A fetus is a fetus, not a child.

        If a fetus is a “blob,” so are born babies, children, and adults.

        No, those are fully formed individuals that can survive on their own if separated from the mother. The fetus is surviving off it’s mother’s body. Stealing her nutrients. The only thing separating it from fitting the definition of a parasite is the “different species” caveat.

            What’s the difference between a “blob” and a “fully formed individual” and why is killing one acceptable while killing the other isn’t?

            The fully formed individual has sentience and can live more or less on it’s own. An infant can be passed off to someone else to care for. The blob can only survive by leeching resources from it’s mother’s body. If she doesn’t want to participate in that it’s her decision. Similar to how if someone living with their parents outlasts their welcome they can be evicted.

                That’s not the same thing. Anyone can care for a disabled person. They don’t invade a specific individuals body who then has to deal with them for 9 months. People should have autonomy of their own body over non-sentient blobs that have formed inside them without their consent.

                The fetus/baby is guaranteed to leave the mother at some point, and evicting it prematurely without a very good reason or regard for its safety would end its life.

                Not murder. It’s a blob until it can survive being removed.

                    I already clarified the disabled thing, they would be in the “or less” side of the statement you’re referring to.

                    As for the rest, women exist for reasons beyond producing babies. If carrying a child would interfere with their goals they shouldn’t be condemned to it. Stop trying to force your opinions on other people’s bodies. There’s enough unwanted people suffering on this planet already.
