Ultimately it is the woman's decison but there is more to accidental pregnanies than just some 20 year old and her BF having an oopsie.
I agree there are more people than that. I've looked at the numbers.

However, why this kid? Why not the older one, they're probably more expensive to this hypothetical family of 5? Why does only the mother get to decide who dies?

Don't you see that's the whole point? It IS possible, unless you kill that child.

The "innocent" is exactly the same in both cases.
I do agree the innocent person, the murdered child, as being the same. However, a big difference for me is that the murdered child was NOT the choice of the mother. This is no longer a personal responsibility issue, and I personally believe that the mother's mental health could be greatly damaged by carrying that child to term, even if she gives it up for adoption after.

I'm all for charging the rapist with murder as well if the mother chooses abortion in this issue, but I'm REASONABLE enough to see something other than just the black and white of the issue.

Men are parents, too. I can only speak for myself and the type of people I choose to associate with, but we understand.

That's right, when you try to save (create) a life, the lack of success is not murderous, it's simply failure at the goal of life.

Now, take random people off the street, slice a hole in their head, and suck their brains out because they're inconvinient to their family. I'm betting real close to 100% die. Is this a "choice" of their family, or murder of the person?

That's right, when you kill someone, that's murder.


Do you see the difference between IVF and abortion yet?

Oh, and if you can show me anything that implies my feeling on this are "punish the slut", please show me, so I can correct your horribly inaccurate view.
Thats not a good comparison. Brain cancer =/= a child. When you preform in vitro, embryos (children as you define them) are 100% dead. I guess if you want to rationalize the casualties to make yourself feel better thats fine, but don't pretend it fits in your views and is not horribly hypocritical.

Remember, in vitro kills (generally speaking more embryos then one abortion), and as you like to say, "That's right, when you kill someone, that's murder."

The difference is still that with IVF you are trying to create life, some just don't make it. With abortions, you are taking life and snuffing it out on purpose. It's not hypocritical to say that trying to create life is good, trying to kill life is bad. It's actually pretty consistent.
