[QUOTE="8 Hour Day, post: 2091501, member: 62076"] I don't think it's simply Christian doctrine at work, here. That's an easy scapegoat, but incorrect. That assumes only Christians believe the fetus to be a person with rights... If it is wrong to kill an adult person, what about a juvenile? What about a toddler? What about a newborn? What about a baby being born an nearly clear of the birth canal? What about a fetus hours before birth? Days? Weeks? Going backwards in age, when does the person no longer have access to rights as a person? Once you accept it is wrong to kill a person, it gets very hard to justify it based on age or location in relation to the mother. The canned answer to this is that it should be legal to abort a baby until it is viable outside the womb. By that logic, killing Stephen Hawking should be legal. [/QUOTE]
