Life begins at conception, we protect endangered bird eggs when they're fertilized, why would a human be different?

While birds lay eggs and carry with their own lives later on, humans do not for we are more complex creatures. As such showing in evolution due to human newborn babies being entirely dependent on it's mother or guardian for survival since our brains have developed to grow larger than any other mammalian that said newborn can't lift it's own head. No other animal exceeds such dependence, and even if they did temporarily, it wouldn't be life long. Animals at most have to care for their young for merely months to sometimes a couple years. Humans do not have such a luxury, as…  Read more being a parent is lifelong. While we should, of course, protect the life being carried by the mother; we should not ignore her individuality as a human being either. I believe that if the child is both decided by the parent/parents to be made, then it should be denied. However, in cases such as rape, any endangerment to the fetus/mother, something that could have the mother die during childbirth, or an underage girl is to be a victim, that an abortion should be a choice for said circumstances. And above all, men should not create said laws about women's bodies without entire and undeniable comprehension of how said body works.

I agree with this statement. Human life is so precious and important, and needs to be taken seriously. If people take bird eggs seriously, they definitely need to about human life as well. Babies are not just a clump of cells in the womb, but human beings who need to be cared for.

Every life matters. I think it's important to value everyones life. Though the cause of becoming pregnant can be awful, it is still no reason to hurt an innocent baby in the womb.

As a Christian man, I agree with this statement. But it can also be argued without the Bible as a foundation. A fertilized egg in 9 months will be a fully formed human being. It's hard to determine outside conception when an egg becomes human because the potential of the fetus being a fully formed human remains the same. Once an egg is fertilzed it has the full potential of becoming a living being. Science is not on the side of Pro-Choice. Choosing to kill your child is brought on by societal pressures and, for the most part, your own free will. I think we should have better options and…  Read more awareness for keeping a child to term, like increasing funding to help the lives of children. Adoption and foster care can be improved because every child should have the right to a good life, but that can't happen if a child isn't even given the choice of life.

Yes I agree that we need to protect our own species as well. If you make the stupid mistake of unprotected sex you better be willing to deal with the consequences of your stupidity.

I also agree about this comment, just because you are pregnant doesn't mean you can just "get rid of the problem".

once an egg is fertilized you should not be able to get an abortion that is a human life. Unless the baby may cause the mother to pass it shouldn't be allowed

In animals we protect them cause they can't tell us otherwise but for humans we have a voice and should be given the right to choose whether or not to have a child.

other species are not paying for their children as they do not live in a place where they are needed to provide in ways human do.

Because unlike endangered birds humans have a stable population. To build off the example of endangered birds then why not take in account for intrusive species. We kill off animals because of their over population so why don't we kill off humans? Because it's due to over population of one species that can throw off the ecosystem, which humans have done by causing climate change. So to think of it in environmental views, by allowing choice between conception, humans are lowering the chance for more downsides that are caused by the human race.

This is different under different circumstances what if a little girl is raped and forced to have his baby .

A fetus is not a person. Birth can cause both physical damage and psychological turmoil and there is no abuse towards a sentient being when eliminating a fetus. Not all life is protected, and the "life begins at conception" argument is not definitive fact.

Women should have the right to decided whether or not to abort their baby. Although women should not do said actions knowing they aren't able to support but some other cases are different. It would not be right for letting the women struggle.

No one saying have an abortion when there’s a heartbeat and full term. While scientifically an embryo in its early stages is a developing group of cell. There should be limitations of when and how long someone can have an abortion til, but there should be no ban. Some women can die of pregnancies if the baby happens to die in the belly and a women’s life shouldn’t be at risk if there are options.

There is no scientific basis for these claims, and the government should be allowed to make medical decisions for anybody.

A core pro-choice argument is that while a fetus may have moral value, no person should be legally required to use their body to sustain another life against their will. Pregnancy involves significant physical, medical, and emotional demands, and in most areas of law, people cannot be forced to donate organs, blood, or bodily resources—even to save someone else. In a diverse society where people hold different beliefs about when life begins, the decision to continue a pregnancy should remain with the individual who is directly affected, rather than being mandated by the government.

Protecting life at conception is fine but when you’re forcing someone to keep a child simply for the child’s safety that is wrong

It's the mothers choice. If she can't financially help raise a child it isn't fair to the child or the mother. In other cases the pregnancy may be fatal for the mother and she could possibly die from it. Some may argue that the mother made her choices now she has to live with the consequences what about cases of rape or incest? That should be taken into account. It's a heavy weight upon the mother and it should be her choice not anyone else's.

Humans are not bird eggs, and bird eggs grow outside the bird's body in their own little shell. Contrary to this, a fetus requires growing inside of a person for quite a few months before it can sustain life on its own, which can have detrimental effects on the woman.

At conception, the so-called "life" is only a bunch of cells; it is not truly living until a heart is beating. Besides, these birds are endangered, most likely because of us, and humans, on the other hand, are overpopulating the Earth. Sometimes it is far more important to protect what we have already ruined instead of protecting ourselves. At the very least, it is also the decision of a mother.

The fetus does not have a heartbeat nor a brain and never took a breath therefore the fetus is not alive. We choose to protect the other species as well it should be a choice not banned. If someone is raped they deserve the choice to get rid of it and if someone is too young and have the fetus will kill them they should get rid of it.

I agree with this, but abortion should still be available as an option. It should not be a form of birth control, but the option should still exist for those who need it.

Because getting pregnant can be an accident and not everyone wants kids its scary, and dangerous,and a big responsibility. I would rather a baby not be born then to be born and have an awful life because its parents never wanted it. If someone wants to have a child they can if they don't then you can't force them that's not right.

It isn't a human, they haven't reached the stage where they have their own body, they aren't formed.

I agree, but it is important for women to have a CHOICE on what to do with their own bodies. The way they get pregnant could also vary. They might've gotten pregnant by being raped, which is a reason to abort the baby. Children, ages as young as 9, could get pregnant by being raped. Why should they be forced to keep the baby when they are babies themselves?

Most animals that lay eggs or conceive children have a choice in this matter, but some humans get raped or forced to conceive a child they're not ready for. It's not your body, so it's not your choice. Unless it directly affects your life, keep your hands off of women's bodies and what they decide to do to them.

Comparing wild animal to the complexity of humans is two different things. Animals don't need consent its their natural instinct to procreate.

Because bird eggs don’t require someone else’s body to survive. Pregnancy does and bodily autonomy matters.

Protecting an egg isn’t the same as forcing someone to stay pregnant. Even if life begins at conception, no one has the right to use another person’s body without their consent.

We should not prioritize a life of an unborn baby simply because we do for other animals. We protect baby bird eggs to help their struggling population. Humanity is not a struggling population. We should be focusing on the lives we already have instead of wasting efforts for a fetus that cannot process any type of thought yet

A simple counterargument is that being biologically alive is not the same as being a legal person with rights. Many things in the body are alive, but they are not treated as independent individuals. The real debate is about when personhood begins, and people have different beliefs about that.
The comparison to bird eggs is also different because those laws are meant to protect animal species, not to require one person to use their own body to support another. Pregnancy involves a person’s body, health, and consent, which makes it a unique situation that wildlife laws don’t address.

Engaged Abortion

Not your body not your choice, and the baby isn't the mother's body, that's a child not a choice with different DNA that never changes and makes up you.

You are killing a baby who is developing. it doesn’t matter about your opinion it matters about facts and aborting a baby is murder

This is 100 percent the truth and always will be. It's inhumane to see how easily our own species kills off its offspring yet tries to protect others. Life begins at conception, and were known before conception by the one who'll always love us.
