> First, let me say that I appreciate that you've at least expressed a willingness to change your mind. That's more than I can say about myself. If this is the case, then I don't see the need to continue this debate. I appreciate your thorough response, but unfortunately it's not compelling enough, in my opinion, to change my mind. > No, I won't be happy, because I don't want anyone telling me what I can do with my body - especially when it's based heavily on their theology, one to which I don't ascribe (and which contradicts my own). That's fine, I genuinely hope you're not in a conservative state in this case :) > If a fetus is a person, then a miscarriage is not merely common and natural bodily function, but instead the tragic death of a child. And yes this is true. My sister miscarried and it was, and still is, a significant event in her life. Her husband, her, and their kids still mourn the day that her child was miscarried, and I don't know of many women who aren't somewhat traumatized by miscarriages, unless they were already planning on having an abortion. Anyways, once again I appreciate the response and wish you the best. It seems like we're both set on our predefined opinions, which is fine. I think it's ok to disagree, and ultimately this debate probably won't result in any sort of significant change haha. Thanks for the conversation though :)
