To me, abortion views aren't binary; most people fall somewhere between absolute 100% pro-life and absolute 100% pro-choice.
Or at least appear to. I think it was Jerry Falwell that once said that if you have a bus full of kids being held hostage you sometimes have to say something the kidnapper wants to get as many off the bus as you can now and then change it later if you can.

Saying you're 100% usually means for the right that you're "OK" with rape and incest and on the left OK with termination when labor starts. Both are DOA politically at least.

When I look for an answer, I don't mind repeating the question (having done that already). Perhaps you should do that. Let me see this question of yours.
I asked, you ignored, and continued to ramble about how I wouldn't answer your questions. If you want to see it again, drop the pretzel logic and go back and look. I won't play your game.

The fetus is able to physically survive on its own when statistically it has the same likelihood of survival as a full grown baby at the time of birth. I really don't care to pinpoint this, nor is it necessary in this context. What I posted earlier surely can allow you to draw a conclusion.

One can not come up with any absolute 100% guarantee given that sometimes, even full grown babies do not survive after birth, so don't even bother if that's what you're hinting it, because it's pointless. Following this logic, we could kill anything that may possibly die on its own later, fetus or no.

Again, you really have nothing meaningful to say, you're just babbling on and on while trying to sound intelligent enough to look like the winner as usual.

I am pro choice and pro capital punishment.

You have described the pro-infanticide ild to a T. a "mob" (of selfish, murdering swine).
