Topic: Abortion
Quote: A newborn baby cannot think mentally like an adult, but does that make him/her a less valuable life? \nif a woman is raped, and a two year old is raped, is it not an equally bad crime considering the two year old didn't understand what was happening?\nI have the same view on abortion.
Response: I think you misunderstand my view. I think that a third-term fetus is already sufficiently a person, so I would CERTAINLY consider a newborn baby a person. To me, a person is one who has the most basic, rudimentary sense of thought and emotion. A late-term fetus, from my point of view, is no less a person than an Einstein. An Einstein, of course, is much more useful to a much greater number of people, but from the simple point of view of whether he is more of a person, I would say not.
