If you need stats to say that humans have human rights, nothing I can say would be tantamount to convincing you. It is hard enough convincing oneself of a stance, let alone another person. If you are arguing on absolutes and not timelines, we have nothing to discuss. If you are of the stance most abortions occur in the first trimester, can you agree to ban third trimester or second trimester? We would have to see how flexible either of us are. Is a five month old baby in the womb old enough that you would not kill it? Do you care about heartbeat, brain function, or viability? Is you argument relevant or comparable to humans on life support? Do you support assisted suicide? Where are we? When does a human become relevant? What is the say of the parents? If one natural parent wants to raise the child, can they prevent the other from coercion? Can a mother deliver even if her husband/boyfriend/the father wants to end the life of their child? Is there any parental consent? Are you only discussing the small percentage when it is at risk to the mother? Can we ban all other instances?
For every newborn, there are at least 30 couples who want to adopt it. Your newborn will not live a life unloved.
Babies are humans. We call a car accident where a mother with dies, double homicide or manslaughter. You are special - you reading this - you are important. You are a human. I love and respect you for that. I would defend your right to live. Humans, in this free democracy we call home have rights. This is a radical and new idea. Please embrace it. Do not go back to the days where the government or authority enforces sacrificing of children for the good of the tribe. People want to care, house, protect, and nurture you baby, even if you don't. Even if you have a hard time with your parents or your partner, you can be loved and can find love. You are special. Your baby is special. Someone will provide your baby with a loving supportive home. Maybe its a woman who cannot give birth. Please - don't kill your child.
You are a smart, good looking, respected person. Your child would be the same. Give them a chance to feel grass, breathe fresh air, listen to birds, smell flours, taste tacos. Give them a chance to read and watch TV. Why do you want to take someone's life? Especially family. This could be your chance at having a family. You can make this right. You can give love, and have love, and receive love.
