    I understand the “holy shit how have we failed her this badly”. My question is, at that point are you saying its okay to kill a baby other than have a 13 have a child? What did the baby do to get killed?

      Well thankfully, no babies are killed during abortion procedures, so you can stop worrying about that.

          Yes…? Words have meaning, and often times (especially when we’re talking about the law) seemingly minor differences in word choice can make all the difference in the world. That’s why any legal document you see has a section at the top defining terms so there can be no question what is meant.

          Abortion doesn’t directly concern “babies.” It usually just involves a blastocyst or maybe a zygote or embryo. Literal clumps of cells that the human body often eliminates on it’s own, spontaneously and for no clear reason.

          At the very most, it involves a fetus, which is still not a baby.

            Yea, I guess that is the main argument right? When is the baby “alive”. Some say as soon as conception happens, some say as soon as he/she can breath. I think most would agree that is somewhere in between.
