Ok.
None of that is under contention.
Wasn't it? You agree that a doctor must never deliberately kill an unborn child?

What I agree to is, at the very least, the doctor necessarily must address an inherent risk upon the fetus in cases where the mother's life is in peril.
Sure. But he must not deliberately and directly take the life of a fetus. Right?
He doesn't have to. The necessary risk is enough to establish moral variance.
I think in the case of the ectopic pregnancy, the doctor has done something very similar to the fireman in my earlier post. The morality of the two situations is identical, even though one involves born children, and the other, unborn children.
Can we shift to an immoral abortion example?
I'll offer one up. A married couple becomes accidentally pregnant. They are both employed, and own a home. However, they decide it's just not yet the "right time" for them to have a baby.
Would it be immoral for them to have a doctor deliberately kill their child?
Objectively speaking..no. It would be her moral right to choose abortion.
At any point in the pregnancy?
Do you support the deliberate killing of unborn children, if their government doesn't provide them with free healthcare?
This is fun!
I believe that you support deliberate killing yourself.
They are your responsibilities!Let me put it another way: I am for MAKING people responsible for their own responsibilities and have NO QUALMS making people pay for their own responsibilities wherever I cannot.
You think you are.I AM genuine.
You have a tendency in this thread to try and push your own agendas, based upon false doctrines'.You have a tendency in this thread to try and push your own agendas and definitions. :think:
They are your responsibilities!
Alright - how about a fireman choosing which door to break down in a burning apartment building? Behind one door there are two 3-year-olds, behind the other door is an 11-day-old. He only has time to rescue the occupants of one room.
Why?
How far will you take this philosophy of yours? If a woman decides she doesn't want to take care of her 15 year old son anymore, will you let her kill him? If you will not let her kill him, then you must pay for everything the 15-year-old needs!
Is this true?
If your litany of demands were met by the government, would you agree that abortion should be illegal?
I do love your crazy examples, so totally disconnected......
Glassjester, you just failed the simple comprehension/memory test.
Now pay attention because I might be asking questions later about this:
If you force pregnant women to give birth then you also have a responsibility to them, imo.
I have already suggested that all children should be entitled to State medicare, education et all to infancy or junior age..... paid for by you!
Can you remember that? Infancy or junior age?
Now, do you think that this 15 year old is either an infant or a junior?
:rotfl:
You don't read my posts.
Back you go........
All you have to agree to now is that persons born disabled in-any-way should and would be supported in day-by-day medicare-plus for their WHOLE-LIVES.
Oh.... and offspring from rape would need full support unto adulthood.
Just agree to all that and you're off the hook.
This is fun!
Now... remember... you do support killing, don't you.....
My moral compass.
your "moral compass" puts the selfish "right" of the mother not to be inconvenienced over the right of the child to live
iirc, hitler did something similar regarding the selfish "right" of the german people not to be inconvenienced by the jews
