 It’s not about women’s rights, or healthcare, or any other dishonest nonsense.  It’s about whether or not the baby represents “someone else.”
 
 If you think the baby is a person, then you necessarily think abortion is infanticide. If you think the baby is no more of a person than a mole
 or a wart, then you’d have no issue with abortion.
 
 There’s a reason why liberals almost never bring up the only thing that actually matters.  Liberals will
 do anything to avoid discussing the only part of the debate that actually divides us.
 
 I’ve seen ultrasounds of babies in the womb, and i know exactly what it is that i’m looking at.

 |  You and the anti abortion need to learn what viability means rather then making up their own science 
 
Let me help
 
 The ability to survive or live successfully.
 
so at what point in a pregnancy Jim can a baby be removed from the womb and survive on its own. That’s viability 
 
And a sonogram picture isn’t viability

 |  (1) I know exactly what viability means.  I just don't know why that's the barometer for who is a human being, and who isn't.  If viability is the test for what's a human being, does that mean you don't think people who are in a coma are human beings?  Or people on ventilators who are being tube fed?  Using your logic, then they aren't human.  Right?  They can't be.  See?  You're not holding ANY cards.  None.
 
(2) how do you define viability in a baby?  You're going to say that after, for example, 5 months it's a human being?  So please tell me, what happens at the stroke of midnight, on the last day before viability?  You think one second it's not human, and then in the next second - POOF - the heart starts beating and the arms and legs pop out?  The baby is never any different at any moment, than it was one minute before that.
 
There are only 2 significant moments where something changes instantly, conception and birth.  So any ban in between those points is stupid, arbitrary, completely meaningless, devoid of any logic.  And allowing abortion up until birth is so barbaric that most Americans oppose it.  So we're left with conception. |

 |  Please tell us how a newborn baby survives on its own?  It can feed itself, keep itself warm?
 
A newborn needs someone else to do almost everything for him, to keep him alive.  It's not remotely able to survive "on its own".  So why is a newborn, then, a human being?
 
It's pathetically easy top destroy every argument you can make.  You're just not holding ANY cards.  None.  I cannot lose this argument, not from a rational, logical perspective. |

 |  Where is it written, that "viability" bestows human status on a baby?  Who made that rule? It's literally impossible to know when a baby is viable.  
 
And in any event, the current liberal view is that abortion is OK up until birth, way past viability.
 
You're OK with bans at the point of viability?  Many on the left aren't.  And viability always seems to be earlier and earlier...as is the point when we think they feel pain. |

 |  if roe is overturned and states can do whatever they want, we will 
see what the blue states do.   i don’t see CA and IL and CT banning abortion after viability.  i hope they do, but I don’t see it.  No way in CT.  More likely they’d allow abortion until kids are in kindergarten. They’re viewing abortion as a sacrament now. They’re all in.
