(10,866 posts)So. In her mind life begins at conception. I got that. It doesn't match up to the real world however.
Example:
A couple has 5 eggs harvested and fertilized. Two are implanted and only one of those takes hold and grows. There is no difference between the 1 non-viable egg inside her and the 3 non-viable eggs left in a lab dish. None of them are viable and do not grow.
This is where the far right dogma falls apart. Many pregnancies fail in the first few days of pregnancy and the woman never knows that she was pregnant. Should she be tried for murder? No, pregnancies fail, often for reasons we don't understand. Mostly they fail because something went wrong and the baby was not developing properly.
On a similar note, having watched a slow, painful & inhumane goodby to both of my parents and inlaws, I have a very different take on assisted suicide than Rome does.
