Nope, after birth it is no longer dependant on the direct use of another person’s body in order to live.
Comment on Abortion Rights: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver

Have you actually looked at a fetus in different stages of growth? Because they’re not sentient, and not all that human-looking even. Just a parasite that may, one day, be a human.
If you mean super-late-stage, then at that point the abortion is a health issue, and you and your uninformed opinions getting in the way only cause more risk of death for the mother.
And what about ectopic pregnancy? Please don’t tell me you’re dumb enough to believe those are salvageable. If that happens, and an abortion isn’t carried out ASAP, they’re fatal.

So would you be okay outlawing abortion after 25 weeks (when it very much does look like a baby) assuming there are no health risk to the mother?
Seleni@lemmy.world 10 months ago
No, because health complications can always develop. Instead I’m going to leave it to the mother and her doctors to decide, since they’re the person who is putting their body at risk and professionals who know what they’re doing.

I said assuming no health risk. Sorry bud, I just think killing babies actually isn’t a cool thing. I’m ok for doing it in desperate situations but killing a baby should not be a form of birth control.
