NPAT Test: Abortion

[Ebowed]

Abortion should always be legal

[Ebowed]

If a person can't handle a baby - DON'T HAVE SEX

1. What if the woman is raped?
2. What if the baby has anencephaly?

what would the baby want? to be adopted? or be stabbed in the head with a pair of forceps.

I'm not sure; when you ask a fetus, you don't get much of a response.

Or just use a condom.

True, but they can break.

55% of women who get abortions were using protection.

Why kill the baby?  It's not his/her fault.

If you oppose allowing abortions because of rape, stop framing the issue as one of responsibility.

There are many false diagnoses for anencephaly

Umm no.  I've read the Wikipedia article before and I don't remember coming across that pro-life garbage.  Look, it's not like they diagnose a perfectly healthy fetus as anencephalic.  The entire forebrain is missing.

Well, read harder (and no, not perfectly healthy, but some instances, the misdiagnosis is a disease where the person can live) - read the part under "Diagnosis":

Erm, it looks to me like it says that the false diagnosis in question is that an anencephalic baby could live for years after birth.

Which is a fact that supports my viewpoint, not yours...

How?

You are saying that a fetus can be misdiagnosed as anencephalic, thus wrongly persuading the couple to get an abortion in such an instance.  The things that you can confuse anencephelia with, however, are simply other types of severe brain dysfunctions.

Wikipedia's mention of false prognoses refers to the idea proposed by some pro-life advocates that the anencephalic baby can live for up to years after birth.

No, you don't get it - it doesn't matter how we define life - it matters how God defines life.
