[QUOTE]Originally posted by PsyLiam: [QB] Indeed. At what point CAN a child survive independent of it's mother? You leave a one week old baby in the hose without any help, and it'll soon die. A one week old baby can barely see, is barely capable of communication, has no logical thought. It cannot move unaided. In some ways it barely qualifies as sentient. So, if a mother deceides that she doesn't want it any more, can she kill it? It's the POTENTIAL for life. A gopher fetus will end up as a gopher, which isn't judged to be sentient by most people. A human fetus will end up as a human. Wouldn't you say that someone who has unprotected sex is accepting the responsibilty for what might happen? They know that a child can result from this, and that they should look after it. If they don't want a child, then they should use contraception. You could make a case that abortion for people who are careful with precautions is more acceptable than abortions because of unprotected sex, because in the former the people are saying 'I don't want a child at this moment in time, I don't want the responsibility' whereas (ignoring the Catholic issue) the latte people are saying 'screw them! I don't care.' [/QB][/QUOTE]
