Well we are the same species yes, of course. Did you seriously imagine otherwise?

Abortion

I don't know, you tell me, did you not believe that a foetus isn't human? I believe that the fetus is human.

Well yes of course it is.
Let's think up an example ok? Say your 14 year old daughter is pregnant and it is an ectopic pregnancy (which means that if you do not abort the foetus and mother will certainly die), would abortion be ok then?
I believe that in this specific case, abortion would be acceptable. That being because the fetus actually poses a severe threat to the woman's life. (And who says pro-life individuals don't concern themselves with the woman's health?)

Fantastic.
So let's start from that point ok? We both agree that abortion is acceptable in some circumstances.
So we just differ on where we draw the line right?
You'd be correct in saying so.

Again, that's great mate. So can we talk about where we put the line?
Absolutely, bruh! Whenever you're ready, I'm all ears!

Awesome. So first can we talk about whom is ultimately responsible and should make the decision?
The government? The doctor? The woman? Etc
Uh...Although, I think discussing it with the father is a good idea, I do believe that the choice ultimately belongs to the woman. If I'm involved with a woman, regardless of what I believe or what she decides, I would still love her. In any case, I'd have her back, and I won't force her to go through with either choice against her will. As for the state, I believe it should not involve themselves in the private affairs of its citizens.

Fantastic. Wonderful to find such common ground. That is exactly how I feel. Cheers.
Great to get past the arguing thanks.

Sure. I think that the most significant point is that of ultimate responsibility, beyond that I don't see a point of difference between us. Cheers.
Yes, the woman must ultimately be the one making the decision.
Blessed Be! Peace to you, dear Bunyip. )0(

Bunyips rarely blush. It's quite a sight.
Oh my, are you blushing?

LOL I just honestly believe that we have nailed the critical point. Whatever we believe to be right and wrong, however we define things - whatever our religious or political views, the right of the woman to make the ultimate decision is fundamental.
I do agree. I mean, she should have that decision. Whatever she chooses to do, I believe that it is imperative to affirm her worth and dignity as a human being.
