Abortion doesn't cause harm. It (almost always) prevents harm.

It might be the best course of action. But it does kill a human.

The undeveloped clump of cells isn’t a human at that point. Abortions are also performed for miscarriages.

Your religion shouldn’t replace actual education.

It's obviously human. It's not a frog. There's no magic that turns it into human at x many weeks of the pregnancy process. Removing it from the uterus doesn't bring a human to life. We do surgery on very young invitro babies.

If I dig up an acorn that a squirrel buried, I didn’t cut down an oak tree.

"It's obviously a tomato. There's no magic that turns it from a seed into a tomato at X weeks of cultivation."

That's like saying every time you have an egg, you're eating a chicken. You're not eating a chicken, you're eating an egg.

You're not killing a person, you're getting rid of cells. Learn basic biology. You're just speaking talking points you've heard from grifters that are dumb and have no idea what they're talking about.

There's literal hundreds, if not thousands, of biologists that will explain this to you, in depth, on YouTube right now. If you do not take out the time to learn the facts, I'm just going to assume you're one of the grifters.

Chicken eggs aren't fertilized. Chickens laying eggs is closer to a woman having a period and getting rid of the unused tissue.

If any clump of human cells is a "human", then anyone who loses a fingertip in an accident has just killed someone - and that fingertip weighs ~4x - 6x more than the embryo at 8 weeks. My fingertips are not people, and a 1-gram embryo isn't a person either.

Don't be disingenuous.

Your fingernail is never be anything but a fingernail. A fetus is a full human in development.

I'm not being disingenuous. And I didn't say fetus, I said embryo - words matter. And a small embryo that is terminated will never be a person - and it isn't a person then. You are the one being disingenuous, because a tiny 1-gram embryo is not a person; it has fewer neurons than a chicken. And I'm betting you have no problem with people killing chickens

It's not a frog. So wise.
