I had to laugh at that poster and others who claim you can't be pro-life/anti-abortion unless you are willing to support all unwanted kids after they are born. What a ridiculous argument! How about putting them up for adoption then their adopted parents can support them?
I never said you have to support all unwanted kids. I was critical of people who claim to be pro life, except they don't want to provide any support whatsoever to a new mother who needs help. The anti-abortion cabal is perfectly fine with women losing their jobs, their insurance, their homes, etc after having a child they can't afford. That attitude is not pro-life at all, it's just anti-abortion.
No, abortion is killing another's human life because the pregnant woman was too irresponsible to prevent pregnancy in the first place. It's pretty much the same as CHOOSING to drive drunk and then consequently killing someone else in a resultant vehicle accident.
The Supreme Court has determined we have an inherent right to privacy and that include having an abortion.
So how does that not apply to anything else? For example, someone can't pay their rent and they make the private, personal decision to kill their landlord to avoid paying rent. How can they be prosecuted for doing so since that would be violating their privacy?
People you are killing an actual independent person duh.
Fetal homicide laws have already set the legal precedent that an unborn child is a separate human life, so this is a direct comparison. Human life = human life.
You are running around in circles trying to justify yourself. Fetal homicide laws don't apply to legal abortions. Again, keep your hands off my ovaries fascist.
Your ovaries? Don't let your ovaries/eggs get unwantedly fertilized and we won't have a need for this discussion.
The result is the exact same. Dead unborn child = dead unborn child.
Once again you only show part of a post to rail against. Just to be sure others know what you were replying to, here is my original post.

Abortion is NOT fetal homicide.
Maybe that is what YOU WANT the law to say, but that is NOT the law. If you want a law changed, go lobby your state or federal congressional representatives.
That includes Pell Grant's for college, ACA subsidies, and a bunch of other programs that do not directly help a poor pregnant woman or a new mother. Try again.
Well, too late... Fetal homicide laws have already set the legal precedent that an unborn child is a separate human life.
No. Fetal homicide laws make an exception for abortion.
Only in your mind are they the same. You have been advised to lobby Congress if you want that changed.
