I don't get it

Discussion

Why do people defend embryos and early fetuses?? 95% of abortions happen before 13 weeks, at that point the embryo/fetus is smaller than a lemon! Would one look at a lemon and say "yes, a person is capable of being that size". It's even more ridiculous with the ones who believe life begins at conception - that is smaller than a grain of salt?? It doesn't even have organs, it barely has limbs, it looks indistinguishable from any other fetus. Why does it matter more than an actual living breathing person..? I'm starting to think pro-lifers are actually anti-lifers... Like, an unwanted pregnancy literally ruins a person's life.

And I am very certain that I'd rather choose a person's life over something smaller than a lemon. Hell, a fetus is probably LESS DEVELOPED than a lemon too.

It's genuinely like bizarre to think people think something like that is it's own thing, and not just a bunch of cells. And the "well you're a bunch of cells too" doesn't really work either, because I am not, again, smaller than a lemon.
