Oh, really? So all the newborns left alone in a room to die after an abortion
failed to kill them should have lived? What nonsense!
That child was found, and attended. Unattended, the child would have died, and we both
know it. The baby only survived with care from others, that it could not possibly provide
for itself.
You claim that surviving alone is the criteria to be considered human. Many disabled
people cannot survive alone.
I am not the one that guarantees it, but that day WILL come. Count on it.

And I still find your position to be horribly unrealistic. There will always be demand for abortions. I don't like it, but it's still going to happen. And banning it is horribly dangerous. As I have said before you'll just drive it underground and make it unbelievably dangerous.

Up to 20 weeks gestation you have a 'foetus' ... with undeveloped lungs
and therefor without the capacity to BREATHE so no breath=no life.
As they have never lived .... they cannot as you say " Be left in a room
to die." The subject is a foetus and not a 'new born'
That new born baby (not child) would always have received the care
sustenance and attention that it required. For however many people may
have passed it by there would always have been someone to find
and care for it .... the good Samaritan?? Humanity?? .... Ring any bells?

Yet again you are twisting the words of others!
I maintain that when a person is surviving, breathing and living by their
own means ... they are alive regardless of ANY disability.
If anyone is on a ventilator which is breathing for them, then they are being
kept alive ARTIFICALLY.
And none of this is applicable in the case of any foetus prior to 24 weeks ge station
