One of the arguments of pro-abortion activists is that the fetus, until it is born is not a living person or a human being. Some would grant it a little more time and say only after a certain number of weeks in the womb does the fetus become a human being. Till then it is basically nothing more than a 'tumour', a lump of flesh.
Travelling to London the other day, I noticed a pregnant woman being offered a seat as soon as she entered the train. Wonder if an obese person too would be granted a seat in the similar fashion... after all, both have extra lumps of flesh!
I know there are very intricate issues involved in the arguments for and against abortion. However, I do believe that standing up for those who cannot stand for themselves is what actually defines the quality of humanity. It speaks more about the ones who stand up - or don't - than the ones who cannot!
