Abortion problem solved.

fetus < 20 weeks old is not sentient
fetus > or = 20 weeks old is sentient

""You have taken a snapshot of a situation rather than take into account the reasons why unwanted pregnancies crop up."

They 'crop up' because there was no birth control used.  It's their fault, and they should have to deal with the consequences."

Think about why birth control wasn't used. Ever thought about the lack of availability or the amount of difficulty it is to obtain contraceptives in some places? Some pharmacists deny contraceptives on their personal biases. Ever thought about whether or not people are educated on how to use contraceptives? Probably not. (I believe this abstinence-only education is pure bullshit, it's putting A LOT of people at risk for unwanted pregnancies and STD's/STI's. People are still going to have sex whether or not you tell them how to go about with their bed manners.) Overall, the vast majority of abortions are done by those whom are extremely poor and can't afford contraceptives or are uneducated on how to use them correctly.

"Some people think that banning an outcome, abortion, is a solution. But you really can't ban an outcome. You have to address the issues that lead to that outcome." - quoted for the truth. You have to put prevention first before anything can be done beforehand. Women are still going to have abortions whether or not the procedure is banned or harder to get.


"We have a breakthrough:  the liberals are for destroying sentient life at the whim of some bitch who didn't bother to take birth control pills to prevent the necessity."

Since when is a fetus classified as a sentinent life? By FAR, a fetus is not a sentinent life. The brain of the fetus doesn't develop until the third trimester. Geez. (Abortions in the third trimester are EXTREMELY rare and account for less than 1% of abortions in America. Abortions done in this stage were for health reasons.)

Let me say another thing. A fetus ISN'T a child. To call a seven year old a child a 'fetus' would be one major insult. Random Example: "Shut up you rambuncious fetus!"  Also, a fetus ISN'T a baby. A baby is a newborn that has breathed its first breath of air after being born from its mother with the umbelical cord cut. And, a baby ISN'T a child.
