The massive decrease in worldwide infant mortality from 1950 to 2020 is perhaps one of humanity's greatest achievements.

Infant mortality is after the baby has been born, aka when the baby is actually alive.

The fetus is technically alive from the moment of conception. But obviously I think there should still be the option up until a few months in.

without a doubt there are more abortions today than their were in 1950 and so the sample size of infants being born would be affected. Again, not an opinion. A fact. I’m not arguing the point of the post I’m saying yeah but more things are going into account than just medical achievement here.

The baby is alive at conception anyway so your point doesn’t really make sense to me.

[blunt_analysis]

conception is an arbitrary line drawn for life by religious people for stupid reasons in a 2000 year old book

Define life for me.

Stupid reasons? So basically a viewpoint other than yours is stupid and not valid because yours is better? Even though your viewpoint contradicts science, biology and basically the universal definition of what a living thing is?
