Indiana appeals court uses Mike Pence's religious liberty law to block abortion ban

36. Yeah, that's a good logical stance. Mine is rooted in science and reality.

Although I am a dude, my belief is that the "fetus" is not living until there is a heartbeat AND brain activity. That usually happens at what, after the first trimester?

Until then, it is a collection of cells, like cancer. Fetuses like cancer? Yup, to me they are at the beginning. They function almost exactly like cancerous tumors. They grow (multiply, divide, multiply, etc.), develop blood vessels, and consume nutrients from the host (the mother).

Since some cancers get to the point where they even grow hair and teeth, wouldn't having them removed surgically, through radiation, or chemical chemotherapy, be an abstract version of an abortion? Their fallacious logic affirms that is the case that can be made.

It isn't until we get a heartbeat AND brain activity that they then become something else.

I state both, because how many times have we experienced doctors say a patient is "brain dead"? But... there's a heartbeat and breathing. Yeah, but there's no active brain activity. The machines are doing the vital functions for him/her.

So, a heartbeat isn't enough. It must be matched with brain activity for me.

These "six week" abortion bans are a lame attempt at controlling women. Many women doin't even notice they might be pregnant and get tested until say, around 6 weeks. So, by the time most women find out they are pregnant, they cannot get an abortion, because of these lame-assed bans.

Using my logic above, these abortion bans can in a way, prevent a person from getting cancer treatment. Many people don't get diagnosed with cancer until after a few months to a year.
