That is correct but then you get into some really philosophical question abut "What exactly is a human being?" but that aside from a biological perspective it is certainly human life.
that is why the issue is not cut and dry and is in fact complex despite what some rabid left wingers on this site claim.
There's nothing complex about when an unborn child becomes viable (can live outside the womb). The issue is choice - the mother's. Try to keep up.
there you go again with your immature rabid far left wing talk. even mott understands that the issue is not as simple as you would like to have us believe. you ran away from my post yesterday discussing your claims that women do in fact go through intense emotional anguish over what to do. if it was as simple as you claim, there would be no anguish.
the fact remains, if it is a human, then why should just the mother get to decide? using your logic, i should get to decide to kill anyone i want.
Emotional anguish over the decision isn't due to the complexity of whether or not there's a baby inside of the mother. You're an idiot for purporting such nonsense.
what is the complexity for then? are you claiming to speak for all women who have had or thought about having an abortion? because you sure as heck seem to do so by stating i am an idiot for thinking that. how the fuck do you know what all women think?

I am completely against late term abortions except for life threatening conditions. The cutoff point for me is 22 weeks.

Is a zygot a child?
Is an egg a chicken?
That's nice. Be sure you never get an abortion after 22 weeks, then.
Do you know the difference between anguish and complexity? Apparently not.
no it isn't. the issue is not choice. the issue is when personhood begins. If a woman actually had a full fledged autonomous sentient child inside them they would be committing murder. As it stands, that's not the case. It's not a fully developed human and it's not sentient.

It's the law in the UK!!
So you are happy to abort virtually full term babies?
The issue is choice. The issue of the unborn's personhood is what the christ-y whackjobs use in order to subvert what is obvious: until an unborn child is viable (can live outside the womb) it is 100% the dominion of its mother. 'Viable' is the equivalent to your criteria of autonomous. Sentience isn't a factor; viability is.
then a person who cannot live without medical machines is the dominion of the hospital....right?
Are they? You tell me.
