Do you find nothing wrong with killing and eating plants? After all, you did say all life is precious no matter what. If you don't eat plants, then what do you eat?

You're changing your opinions on the fly because earlier you made it clear that you are more supportive of the woman if she was raped. Additionally, you stated abortion is wrong only if it is life threatening.

In a research paper published in 2008, Dr. Stuart W.G. Derbyshire examined this very issue. From his paper, "[w]e may be confident the fetus does not experience pain because unique in utero neuroinhibitors and a lack of psychological development maintain unconsciousness and prevent conscious pain experience ... More importantly the developmental processes necessary for experience [of pain] are not yet developed in the fetus at any gestation before birth ... Any future legislation to mitigate fetal pain could expose women to inappropriate intervention, risk and distress".


I can rip you off, and steal all your cash, suckerpunch you in the face, stand back and laugh. Leave you stranded as fast as a heart-attack.
