Dr Jennifer Keller/ Jewel Staite Appreciation/Discussion
You seem to be forgetting that a child also has a right to live. What did the child ever do to deserve being murdered?
Spoiler:
What did the child ever do to deserve being born to a loveless home? What did that child ever do to deserve being hated and resented, beaten and abused?

Calling the embryo or fetus a "kid" implies personhood and depends on when you believe a fetus reaches the point where it can viably be called a person.
Do I believe in abortion? Yes because I ultimately believe that a woman has the right to choose what to do with her body.
Do I like the idea of abortion? No.

but the "fetus" is an individual not part of her body.

Actually considering that the embryo is connected to the woman by virtue of the umbilical cord and is wholly dependent on the mother for blood, fluids, food, energy, basically everything and is also residing within the woman's body, then it is very much a part of her body.
Let's talk about something else, like if anyone's ever eaten Vegemite...not touching the stuff, myself. Jewel is much braver than I. I suggested that to Joe just now for one of his weird food of the day purchases, or one of these: http://www.hotlix.com/insect_candy/insect_candy.html

Oh goodness! Yeah, I could never handle either of those. Jewel's really a fan of the former?

I don't even know what Vegemite even is really, but I gather it's horrid.
