I have never expressed nor implied a disregard for what the fetus represents. If anything, quite the contrary. It symbolizes a process that will most likely lead to a birth of a child which is an extremely important event. My point is I believe the option should be available up to the moment it takes it's first breath. The reason being it's too late after that point regardless of circumstances.
This paragraph dismisses the life itself or the reality that just before it draws its first breath it is as cognitive as it will be just after. The idea that air is the line is an extreme one.
Again you come to an extreme, one that I noted was interesting. However, the idea that poverty equates to Taysaks disease and therefore we should kill a child that may be born into it is positively repulsive.Again, I come back to Tay-sacks disease. Is it morally preferable to allow a 4 or 6 month old baby to live and go through the stages of that disease?
Let's suppose an expectant mother has a pre-natal test done at seven or eight months pregnant and it's discovered the baby has Tay-sacks. The mother has no choice but to continue the pregnancy only to look forward to watching her child progress through the disease and die before it's old enough to attend school.
Factually incorrect.
Let's talk about empathy. How would that woman feel knowing she is condemned to continue the process that will lead to a birth and the child that will result will suffer for the next 4 or 5 years and ultimately die. What belief system could possibly justify that?
Again this is a false dilemma. We've already stated that this is an extreme case and that it would fall in the "save a life" type of extreme category. You basically state that because some kids can have taysaks all abortions at that stage should be allowed. That's just a stupid extreme position based on ignoring what others actually have stated.
