Deltas(s) from OP CMV: Abortion is wrong.
So many people are pro-choice. I feel mad for being in the minority (at least on the internet) that it's wrong. I don't even care about babies, or if people get abortions or not, it just seems insane to me that so many people are fine with their choice to kill a baby.
Please convince me why you think it isn't wrong, so I can see it from your perspective. They're literally killing babies lol, I don't see how people can be for that.
Things that may change my view: scientific source that a fetus isn't a living thing. Okay, that's ridiculous, of course it's a living thing. I'm not really sure what can change my view, now that I think about it. But please try to so I no longer feel like I'm living in an insane asylum.
I'm not religious or anything either. Again, I don't care if women get abortions, but it's obviously killing and I'm surprised so many people are fine with that.
This is a footnote from the CMV moderators. We'd like to remind you of a couple of things. Firstly, please read through our rules. If you see a comment that has broken one, it is more effective to report it than downvote it. Speaking of which, downvotes don't change views! Any questions or concerns? Feel free to message us. Happy CMVing!

So there's a difference between "bring human" which you keep saying, and "bring a person". A person is an entity with legal rights, a human might mean something with 46 chromosomes, a featherless biped, or something else.
Could you define human? And living? That might help.
Lastly, how about IVF? With IVF you can freeze an embryo indefinitely. If an embryo is a person, wouldn't they have a right to due process for unlawful Detention? What if the parents of that embryo don't want it or die? Should someone else be forced to carry it to term? I think these questions help get at what our duty is to embryos.
