  1. But not if they were fetal dogs.

  2.  @alexparrish1057  A fetus is not a child. And it is her body, not yours, to control. You deal with your own health, and MYOB when it comes to the health of others.

  3. A fetus is not a human being. Therefore abortion is not murder. So you want women to take birth control pill, despite the terrible side effects and risk of cancer, just on the off chance some asshole rapes her? You are insane.

  4.  LAST CALL  NO it doesn't! Where did you get your science degree that you would state such a falsehood? I got mine at UCLA. It clearly was a better school.

  5.  @freddymansour9813  Even a neonate breaths and eats on its own. A fetus does not. It is a parasite that relies on the host for it energy and oxygen. That independence is what separates a fetus from a baby. It is only a human being when it can live on its own, breathing for itself. Not prior to that.

  6. Every Sperm Is Sacred Monty Python There are Jews in the world There are Buddhists There are Hindus and Mormons, and then There are those that follow Mohammed, but I've never been one of them I'm a Roman Catholic, And have been since before I was born, And the one thing they say about Catholics is: They'll take you as soon as you're warm You don't have to be a six-footer You don't have to have a great brain You don't have to have any clothes on You're A Catholic the moment Dad came, Because Every sperm is sacred Every sperm is great If a sperm is wasted, God gets quite irate Every sperm is sacred Every sperm is great If a sperm is wasted, God gets quite irate Let the heathen spill theirs On the dusty ground God shall make them pay for Each sperm that can't be found Every sperm is wanted Every sperm…

  7. If it is inside the female host, it is a fetus, not a baby. Why would the anchor disagree with the truth?

  8.  Truthus Maximus  And a fetus is not a human being, innocent or otherwise. The word being implies a discrete individual. A mass of tissue parasitising a female human being is clearly not a being as it cannot survive independently.

  9. A fetus is not a baby. Why do idiots always speak of babies when they discuss abortion? You can't abort a baby, because it has already been born.

  10. You can't abort a baby, it has already been born.

  11. Nobody has said babies are not human. But only an ignoramus calls a fetus a baby.

  12. @family lowe You're right about no grey area. It is simple before it is born, it not a baby, only after. Prior to birth, it is just a parasite. Life is a room that you enter at birth and leave at death.

  13. Thank you!

  14.  cj p  Abortion kills nobody. It terminates an unwanted pregnancy. Before abortions were legal and safe, countless women and girls died from back alley abortions. If you make this medical procedure illegal again, it will result in the deaths of actual human beings. (In most abortions limbs haven't even developed yet. So enough with your BS stories.)

  15. Does a tapeworm have the right to control its host's body? The woman is not the owner, she is the host. And if she wants to remove a parasite from her body she should be able to. You want to make her a slave to the fetus. That is sick!

  16. Saying a person, even a female person, has the right to control their own body is not tone deaf, it is morally correct.

  17. So protecting a woman's right to control her body is not politically expedient enough to matter? No, this is too important to stay quiet on.

  18.  @AnonymousPersonAP  When it is born.

  19. Maybe in your religion. But, in mine (which is probably older than yours) the soul enters the body at birth, so abortion is not murder. Why do you think you should be able to force your religious beliefs on me?

  20.  @leonardodic3po607  A fetus is a parasite on the female host. I learned that at UCLA. I think that the biology professor who taught me that, who is a Nobel laureate, knows more about the subject than you do. Calling others stupid, because they understand the subject better than you do, is quite immature. Grow up. Take some classes, if you can get into college, and learn something before you have the audacity to criticize the intelligence of others.

  21. The physician is often the one who has to tell the pregnant woman that her fetus will never develop normally.

  22. You will never find a baby within the womb. It is only a baby after it is born. It would be amusing if every male, saying a woman cannot terminate an unwanted pregnancy, got cancer. I'd love to see their face if they were told, 'sorry we can't remove or kill your tumor, it is made up of living human cells'.
