Together.
Tell me something, darling. Tell me why it counts as a double homicide [which you can get death row for] if someone causes a car accident that results in the death of a mother to be and her unborn fetus, when abortion is completely acceptable.
Yes, yes, it's the mother's body and it affects her life, but her choice is going to affect the child's life too.
Currently in South Dakota, it is legal to kill someone who threatens the life of your fetus. What if YOU'RE the one endangering that life? They argue that the mother may abort a fetus because it directly deals with her life, but how does that justify murder? The kid in front of you has terrible breath, you are affected by this. Your neighbor blocks your driveway with his obnoxious prius, you are affected. A small boy is picked on and bullied to tears everyday at his elementary school, he is affected. Each of these scenarios displays direct, unpleasant effects in the lives of people caused by others. Does this give them the right to kill those people? Does it give a mother the right to kill her baby? What if she waited until it was born? Less acceptable? Is the baby only alive once it leaves its mother? Can that child not feel the pain of its own death?
Just something I don't understand.
