But just earlier you said that it is not a person until the mother decides it is. So... Wouldn't saying, "once it starts becoming more like a born human it's a person" be forcing your view of personhood on the mother?

I am a little confused by your question. Sorry about that. Probably because it is 4.30 in the morning.

I will review this again after I have had sleep and reply properly. smile

Are you sure you aren't confusing her with me?

I said (somewhere in this guild) that a fetus's worth is contingent upon the woman wanting it. If a woman wants it the fetus has value, if the woman does not want it the fetus does not have value, because in my view a fetus at the time of abortion is not a person and so it has no inherent value (that I believe a human being that has achieved personhood would have) and I had compared it to hair (while admitting hair was a poor analogy but the only thing I could think of where one would actually want and not want it at different times).

/has not read all the posts prior so isn't entirely sure what Eeowynn has stated.

You could be right, and if I did get it confused, I'm sorry. sweatdrop
