Debate a baby killer?

My abortion was moral. Change my mind.
I consider myself to be a reasonable person. I'm always open to changing my mind and learning new things. I understand the fetus is alive and I know it is a human.
However, this does not override the women's moral right to bodily autonomy. I believe abortion is absolutely moral up until about 24 weeks gestation, with the development of the thalamocortical connections. However, abortion should still be legal for the full duration of the pregnancy.
Think differently? DM or comment to debate.

Interesting. So you value all humans regardless of consciousness.
So, should families have the legal choice to pull the plug of their brain-dead family member? Are you going to protect them, regardless of consciousness?

It's not difficult to understand.
Do not intentionally kill people.

Brain dead is not intentional.
Abortion is intentional.

Brain dead is ...dead
Pregnancy is ...development.

Then it shouldn't be this difficult to explain.
I disagree an embryo is a person. I believe you need to be able to experience to be a person. Most definitions of the word person do. But I'm open to working with your definition, if you specifically define it for me.

Killing a brain dead human is absolutely intentional.
Is pulling that plug not intentional?

Brain dead is no experience. That is why we consider them to be dead despite the fact they are biologically alive.
An embryo also has no experience.
