Not really sure where this is going? We believe we have some value, otherwise why are we having the discussion of abortion in the first place?
I'll say again, Just because death is a reality of life doesn't mean purposefully causing preemptive death is ok.

Natural human rights are not something sourced by the government, they belong to every individual. According to Jefferson, they are unalienable meaning they can't be granted or taken away. The goal of the government is to protect these rights.

In theory only, in practice, these rights are denied and taken away on a daily basis all around the globe, what good is a right that can be arbitrarily denied anyway?. But I agree we digress... In the end you believe that a fetus is a person and I don't, you and I are both right and if you think abortion is wrong and I think it's not, we're also both right because morality is subjective...

The consideration of ending a living things life is not the point MichaelElpers we address the fact of ending life as a united state with termination to that fact on record history, not having the DNA is simply explaining why killing then at that moment is more important then after DNA. As fare as sexual activity all woman are to be created equal is the united state as a goal declared as grievance against the American united State Constitution. This was expected to be performed without accusation in a basic principle.
Where is the living egg going if not dying when a woman does not get pregnant? This is a basic principle all woman as united state can answer under oath of truth. A female scientist can answer the question? A female lawyer can answer the question, a female doctor can answer the question. It is dying. Is it being murdered? Yes. How many female witness can say they do not know a baby will be officially stopped by not allowing the egg to continue by neglecting care it needs to live. They intentionally know the egg will die. Is this potential for life threatening hypocrisy?
All woman brings a baby across an international border into a Nation, yes or no? Can you prove she can? Would this be reasonable design to understand a topic.?

To be clear, I'm not making a claim, but merely citing a straight read of the numbers. That being said, I am quite happy to accept the difference in abortion rates between countries with restrictive laws and those without are statistically insignificant. This doesn't affect my point: "If reducing abortion is the goal, then banning abortion is not the way to go". Guttmacher suggests "high levels of unmet need for contraception and of unintended pregnancy help explain the high levels of abortion in countries with restrictive abortion laws" [1]. There is nothing illogical about abortion rates remaining roughly unchanged in spite of legislation restricting it. Just like a ban on unintended pregnancy would do little to decrease its frequency, so it is with abortion - they are linked.
I'm not a fan of natural family planning or abstinence. Natural family planning (rhythm method, etc) has a poor track record (1 in 4 chance of unintended pregnancy), and abstinence-only might actually contribute to higher levels of teen pregnancies and STDs. Condoms work (and they reduce STDs). Long term methods (like IUD) work better in reducing unwanted pregnancies.
I get your view, but I think it is in our best interest to make sure children aren't born into homes in which they are not wanted or can't be properly cared for. Plus, the libertarian view would not be for government regulation on abortion - maybe we can get you to fully commit to Libertarianism. ;-P As for the unnecessity of sex, I would rather be a part of a society which regularly has sex over one which doesn't - the former would be healthier.[2] (I don't think a Netflix subscription would generally improve mental and physical health for society in general...unless it's Netflix and chill!) The only cost is subsidizing contraceptives to those who need it - worth every penny. ;-)

It is argued that they are unalienable, given to every person, because without the existence of government everyone in nature would still have these rights. It is the job of the government to protect these rights to keep people and other entities from infringing on these rights. Jefferson argued this and stated any government that tries to take away these rights are illegitimate and should be overthrown.
With how many rights are protected by the U.S. constitution and not in other countries it makes it harder to understand. Also seems like one could say murder is than a natural right. In nature everyone would have the right to life, liberty, and happiness, and because murder is an infringement of another's rights we would justify that it is not a natural right.
I still believe this is the best way to look at things because it helps limit the power of the government. Gives the idea that they are helpers/protectors of the people, not rulers who control them by granting/ taking rights away.

Okay, so why scientifically who something is more important then what something is in deterring when something it is alive. Other then science has more stake in the establishment of murder. A united state can be formed as a union before individual identification is made. Knowing your name only effects the recording of deaths accuracy not the death. Is the problem that this basic fact was not completely assessed before a admission to crime took place?
Saying a virgin is a woman who has had/has no sexual intercourse yet ovulates and produces an living egg, and though the help of science fact we know she is committing a murder by their findings. We know she is not dependent on DNA to act on killing the egg that is alive. Science though having female participants performs the same actions outside the female body in the same way a woman uses an egg inside her body that creates the human egg.
We do not agree kill a human is morally wrong. We only agree killing a human may be morally wrong, morals like constitution do not apply to those who do not maintain them. Lethal force may be necessary. As a stale mate a second indication of united state is immigration.

I found this out: Apparently The United Nations pinpoint the origin of Human Rights to the year 539 BC. When the troops of Cyrus the Great conquered Babylon, Cyrus freed the slaves, declared that all people had the right to choose their own religion, and established racial equality. These and other precepts were recorded on a baked-clay cylinder known as the Cyrus Cylinder, whose provisions served as inspiration for the first four Articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Based on these decrees, civilizations in India, as well as Greece and Rome, expanded on the concept of 'natural law' (Historically, natural law refers to the use of reason to analyze human nature to deduce binding rules of moral behavior from nature) and society continued to make progress, leading to another cornerstone of the history of Human Rights: the Magna Carta of 1215, accepted by King John of England, considered by many experts as the document that marks the start of modern democracy.
Then came the UN with the Declaration of human rights, where a bunch of people (mostly government appointed I assume) decided on a list of rights...
So, in a sense, it was given by a King (Cyrus), extended by another King (John of England) and globalized by modern governments via the UN institution...

But they rely on government totally to ensure they cannot be taken away so there is no other authority other than government
Everyone in nature would have zero rights without an authority to enforce such rights
I don’t know what countries you’re referring to as most have rights protected and guaranteed by the government , I always smile at the way Americans seem to think their constitution is the best when it’s no better or worse than most
But abortion is not murder and even your own government does not see it that way.In nature no one would have any rights without an authoritative source
Do you believe it fair and your right to deny a woman bodily autonomy?
Bodily integrity is the inviolability of the physical body and emphasizes the importance of personal autonomyand the self-determinationof human beings over their own bodies. In the field of human rights, violation of the bodily integrity of another is regarded as an unethical infringement, intrusive, and possibly criminal
But denying a woman bodily autonomy is to give government power to force women who are unwilling to give birth to the unwanted

You use the term continuous consent, not sure the continuous matters. When you sign a lease or other agreement you take on the consequences for the length of the agreement, this is what I would say is comparable. The women gives consent that a pregnancy may occur when she has sex, (if you want to avoid abstinence or only agree to consent with people who have vasectomies).
Curiously, besides rape, who do you believe gives consent for a potential of a pregnancy? Sometimes consequences for consent last longer than the day they were given.

Let me rephrase, DNA tells use who someone is not if they are alive. A working car without a Vehicle Identification number is still a working car. A living person without a state Identification number is still a person who is living.
A woman is not committing murder when she ovulates, the egg is not developing into a human.
Agreed she does not commit the murder until allowing ovulation to continue. A woman is not committing murder when she ovulates, the egg is not developing into a human it is dying. Needing nurturing by her to keep living. The idea a crime is not punished, pursued, or held in constitutional separation by woman does not by law mean the idea’s action is not still a crime. It is only presumed not a crime. The principle of pregnancy abortion is shared equally between a virgin woman and a woman who have had sex provided they both can produce offspring.
Both women commit also just so happen to perform their murder's to stop immigration across an international border. Is it not reasonable to say you can prove this as fact, or prove it as a lie good or bad grammar?

Canada like the United States have very few people who work to preserve Constitutional principle as a united state. They work to preserve a democracy. Legal precedent in free dictates a process must not have assigned cost or self value. Legal precedent does not mean the writes of law get to say so by powers of democracy. lol.
There is a big Problem in freedom of speech in this comparison. The United States Constitution is different from Canadian Constitution.

No, consent to sex is not consent to pregnancy, it's a fallacious claim...
Being involved in a car wreck and thereby sustaining injuries is a possibility every time someone gets in a car. In some sense, getting in a wreck and thereby being injured can be seen as the natural consequence of getting in a car. After all, without precautions, wrecks and injuries sustained from wrecks would be quite common. We take two types of precautions when it comes to driving cars:
Having sex is similar in several ways. After all, without any precautions, pregnancy and having to carry to term would be the natural result of having sex (although in itself, the rates of such occurrence is low, it takes on average 78 intercourse for couples actively seeking a pregnancy and of those pregnancy the majority will end in miscarriage... In fact, spontaneous abortion/miscarriage is the norm with regards to the outcome of pregnancy...). Fortunately, we have two types of precautions when it comes to having sex.
- We have condoms, the pill, IUDs, and other things that help prevent pregnancies from occurring.
- We have abortion to help minimize the damage in case of an unwanted pregnancy. (Pregnancy is considered by law to be a “substantial bodily injury” in several jurisdictions in the United States)
While the first set of precautions have lowered the number of car accidents that occur, just as the analogous first set of precautions have lowered the number of unwanted pregnancies that occur, they have not eliminated them. Car accidents can happen because of human error on a driver’s part, or because a driver refuses to adhere to the general precautions (think drunk driving), or through no one’s fault at all. Similarly, unplanned pregnancies can still happen because of human error in using birth control, or because of rape or birth control sabotage, or through simple birth control failure. And of course, just as some people drive when they’re tired or drunk and thus open themselves to greater risk of wreck, even so some people go without birth control entirely or use it only sporadically and thus open themselves to greater risk of pregnancy.Saying that we should do away with plan B or abortion because they enable people to engage in risky sex without having to face the natural consequences (i.e. pregnancy) is like saying that we should embed knife-like spikes into cars’ steering wheels in order to cut down on risky driving behavior (because a driver being slammed forward would be automatically impaled). After all, things like seat belts and air bags decrease the risk of injury when getting in a wreck and thus lead to more risky driving. Even so, things like plan B and abortion (which, let me point out, are not identical) decrease the potential harm suffered by an accidental pregnancy and thus, it could be argued, lead to more risky sex.
Legislating that a person involved in a car wreck could not have medical care would likely also lead to a decrease in risky driving. In fact, it might even lead to a decrease in driving at all, which would then bring the number of accidents down. Or, we might simply legislate that people who get in wrecks because they were driving drunk, ran a red light, or fell asleep at the wheel should be denied medical service. After all, this is exactly the suggestions made by those who argue that making pregnancy the natural consequence of sex (i.e. decreasing access to birth control and abortion) would bring down the rate of premarital sex (and probably marital sex as well, come to think of it) or that only women who have become pregnant as a result of rape or incest should have access to abortions.
Saying that pregnancy is simply the consequence of sex is like saying that getting in a wreck is simply the consequence of getting in a car.
Saying that having sex means giving consent to carrying a pregnancy to term is like saying that getting in a car means consenting to bleeding to death without assistance in the case of a wreck.

Sorry for the grammar issues.
Is it reasonable to debate the burden of life on such complex and expensive training as DNA?
DNA tells us who we are and who we are related to in basic principle right?
How does that connect to living and life?

The difference medical treatment for a car accident and treatment using abortion, is that abortion ends a life during the treatment.
Also, while getting in a wreck and having becoming pregnant can be consequences, pregnancy is one primary reasons/outcomes of sex, while having an accident is not. Also, when you have a car accident their is an investigation done or whose fault and whether you were being careless. Going back to my point that maybe to get an abortion, you should have to prove that you weren't being delinquent in trying to prevent the pregnancy.

I'm not basing life purely off DNA. At conception, unique and human DNA is created. This is an argument towards value, displaying that at conception the zygote is human and new individual separate from anyone else. After conception, the zygote works through natural processes to further development into creating a fully developed human being, something that doesn't end until around age 25.
Conception is when the individuals DNA is created and human life begins development. This is why I believe conception is when human life begins why it has value.

It takes on average 78 intercourse for couples actively seeking a pregnancy and of those pregnancy the majority will end in miscarriage... In fact, spontaneous abortion/miscarriage can be regarded to be the norm with regards to the outcome of "unprotected" sex... With any use of contraception, it's obvious that pregnancy is not the sole purpose of sex, that's a position based on archaic religious puritanism...
Second, what you're trying to do is force your belief that a fetus is a person on others and you're doing it on religious grounds... This is not a theocracy, religious beliefs are personal and should stay that way...

I haven't mentioned religion or used it as an argument once. In my post to John_C, I am making a scientific argument based on why I believe a fetus to be a valuable human life. Where did you find a majority end in miscarriage, the sources i've seen say 10-20% known and most likely higher accounting for unknown, but not a majority.
Also never said pregnancy is the sole purpose of sex, but it is a primary outcome.

From my linked article:
Conclusions
A synthesis of many large-scale studies from the last 15 years unambiguously confirms the Wood-Boklage-Holman hypothesis that abortion is an intrinsic and overarching component of human reproduction. It is the most common outcome of conception across a woman’s lifetime and the predominant factor controlling age-specific variation in human female fertility. To reproduce, a human female cannot forgo a high risk of abortion, and to have a large family it is virtually impossible to avoid multiple abortions. Modern birth control with access to elective abortions, markedly reduces –rather than increases– the lifetime number of abortions a woman produces.
And although you did not specifically mention religion, it's underlying your whole argument...

Conception is when the individuals DNA is created and human life begins development. This is why I believe conception is when human life begins why it has value. We are not asking for what you believe. We seek for what we can both prove. The goal is them made even higher by Supreme Court ruling in that privacy should also be addressed by a creation of any to be more perfect union of. united state.
Again to be clear. Me grievance that moves Female pregnancy abortion to abolishment is the self-incrimination. A law to make a criminal proceeding easier or swifter will never effect the liberty woman make by admission to the self-incrimination of female pregnancy abortion. Nor will it stop the independent abolishment that takes place by removal of the detail of self-crimination when restructured under a united state constitutional address such as female specific amputation.  Considerate: 100%

How is religion my underlying argument, unless you think placing value of human life is only inherent in religion. Also you use miscarriage and abortion interchangeably, while the both result in the death of the fetus one is deliberate and that matters.
I will have to look at that source further, as one article that referenced it said it was not yet peer reviewed, but i will read it.

The intent of an abortion is NOT to kill the fetus.. The intent is to free the pregnant woman from abuse (the use of her body without consent) by the new organism. Death is not the intent, it is an unfortunate side-effect at the moment and it could change in the future, nothing more...

Death of the fetus I would say often is the intent, and even if it is not it is a knowledgeable direct outcome. Most people get an abortion because of the inconvenience it puts on their life, they have an abortion to rid themselves of that inconvenience. They're not getting of it just to enjoy bodily autonomy.
You're saying if the fetus could be taken out and nurtured through technology, the majority of mothers who currently get an abortion would be perfectly fine with raising that child...No, they want the fetus out of their life, that's why they get abortions.
You can't perform actions that directly harm someone else just because it wasn't the intent.

So you consider having your genital at high risk of being teared apart an inconvenience? As many as 95 percent of first-time mothers experience vaginal tearing. You’d think that the likelihood of lacerations that require stitches around your genitals alone would discount the rhetoric that a woman can easily just have a baby and put it up for adoption.
Pregnancy always endangers the life of a mother (more so un the US). The notion that pregnancy is just this carefree experience doesn’t take into account the vomiting, the gestational diabetes, hemorrhoids, bowel problems, incontinence, or any of the common complications that follow pregnancy and birth.
Having a child, is a life-changing event, in every possible sense... To say that women who have an abortion do so out of inconvenience is contemptible...
Happily carrying a fetus to term is an act of the most profound, generous love precisely because it does entail pain and sacrifice. That should never be forced on anyone.

None of those medical things you listed are permanent life changing events, but taking care of a child is...that's why they want to kill it. While i understand those things suck, we do have pain killers, meds, ect. Those complications because not permanent, I would list as convenience and don't take precedent above the fetus's life.
Also what is the percentage that a person who has an abortion also has a child. They'll most likely experience that 95% stat anyways.
The reasons you listed above would fall under scared of child birth, which wasn't listed as a main reason. Still haven't convinced me that the intent isn't to kill the fetus.

Well a clump of cells is different than a petri dish, also everyone is a clump of cells...just more developed. Thanks for finally admitting the intent is kill the baby in order to keep their quality of life from being inconvenienced.
Hopefully people don't start believing their quality of life is more important than anothers life based on IQ, sex, race, ect.
Again those stats are misleading because of the way countries report child bearing death stats. The U.S. has the most advanced medicine, those numbers don't make sense unless reporting is different.
