If I were to participate in a marathon could you rightly say, after my first few strides, "You're not running a marathon."?
No, you couldn't!
Once I've started running, I am running the marathon.
This is a metaphor of human life from the onset of a unique genetic code.

@TheSmuttyTruth@just_fedup True, we don't know what was in their hearts.
Also true, they killed their child because it was disabled.
They may not be evil but the act of killing their child is evil.
@lyttleburd@Jerematic79 I cannot tell the future and I find it disingenuous of you to ask questions of caring about fetal human life when you would just as soon have them killed.
If she had the issues you mentioned and wanted the child would you uphold her choice?
@KikiElephants@Kwin8675309@Jerematic79 If you think people need another's consent to exist, then you don't believe in human rights.
Everyone needs their mother to live, it's how we exist. Denying this is a denial of biolocal reality and the human life cycle.
@ALongHardDay@LifeNewsHQ I specified human being which would exclude just human cells.
Being that you respect the human experience, I would assume you have a cut off for when you think abortion is permissable. Is this true?
@ALongHardDay@LifeNewsHQ The many people that are against killing children in utero care.
Also, we know the mind alone isn't what makes us human or even what fully controls our thoughts and actions.
Why do you think we should discriminate against other human beings based on their looks and abilities?
@KikiElephants@Kwin8675309@Jerematic79 That's not true tho. The mother is obligated to provide basic necessary care for her child. While very young the basic necessary care is simply not killing them.
No one needs consent in order to exist.
When is a human developed enough to not be killed simply for existing?
@ALongHardDay@LifeNewsHQ So, in your view, human rights can be violated if the humans doing the violating are bigger, more developed & feel things.
Preborn humans perceive the outside world and feel what's going on. Why do the feelings of preborn humans not matter to you?
@lyttleburd@Jerematic79 The article was informative; thank you for sharing. It shows how a mother's body recognizes her child in utero as a completely different body, foreign tissue.
Do you agree that a living human organism inside a woman is a distinct individual from their mother as the article says?
@lyttleburd@Jerematic79 An preborn child and its mother's are in a symbiotic relationship and reproduction is not a foreign invasion.
It's more convenient for you to advocate for the killing of humans in utero since you are the one being killed.
Killing innocent humans for others sake is barbarism.
@Kwin8675309@Jerematic79 What is your excuse when preborn humans are legally a person?
(I altered your phrasing because legally they are human beings, but not considered persons for whatever reason that allows corporations to carry that label or something...)
@ALongHardDay@LifeNewsHQ Why do you think certain groups of humans should have their fundamental human right to life violated for the convenience of bigger, stronger, and more developed humans?
@lyttleburd@Jerematic79 Only if you choose to dehumanize a living human in utero degrading them to a classification of life that does not describe their species.
The absurdity that humans reproduce via parasitism leads to the atrocity of millions of humans being killed for convenience each year.
@Kwin8675309@Jerematic79 You say "no one...not even a fetus", but that's a category error. It's lacking because, in fact, everyone has the right to their mother's body while in the gestational period of their lives.
Why doesn't a woman's child have the right to use her body?
@6Galatians@Jerematic79 Do you think humans reproduce by parasitism?
That would be a new one for mammalian reproduction and the human life cycle.
What did you read that told you that rubbish?
@afistfulofteeth@luvmyjaide The cited image with where you can reference the source doesn't seem very random to me.
Also, "neonate" & "infant" are the proper terms for the developmental stages after birth.
We use baby colloquially both before and after birth. We know it's a baby.
