At 8 weeks, it is okay with you for a Mom to chop up a kid and put it in the trash if she has a 5 year school reunion to attend and the kid continuing to be alive would be inconvenient. Got it.I do not care if a woman decides to get an abortion at 8 weeks because she has her 5 year school reunion that weekend and plans to get drunk and bang one of her old high school crushes.
How about when the kid is 6 months old, as in 16 months after conception, and everything else is the same? It is a Mom. She has a 5 year school reunion to go to. It is her biological offspring who is considered too inconvenient, and at 6 months old the kid is still absolutely reliant upon the Mother to survive. Is it still okay in your book for the Mom to chop the kid up and put it in the trash?
How about the situation proposed by former Virginia Governor Ralph Northam where the kid has just been born and everyone is still in the delivery room of the hospital? The kid is minutes old. Mom has a 5 year school reunion to go to. Ralph Northam said that he thought it would be okay for the Mom to chop the kid up and throw it in the trash at that point if she wanted to. Do you agree with him?

For me the calculus is easy. The developing child is life as per the Seven Pillars of Life. It is human life as can be confirmed via DNA test. As you said earlier “your rights end at the tip of my nose” and I include kids in that. My line is drawn based on that. You obviously don’t agree with me, so where you do draw the line and why?
