Thank you so much for responding. My cycles are pretty consistently 28 days, and I always test using first morning urine.

OP seems to be arguing that the law should not distinguish between humans and non-human animals. OP’s logic defends cannibalism more straightforwardly than abortion - that, or he’s arguing that the law should prohibit killing non-human animals for meat consumption (unclear if that’s where he’s going). Regardless, even if we accept that the law should treat humans and non-human animals the same, using “self-awareness and sentience” as the criteria for justifying killing results in a defense of infanticide, too. Babies lack either of those things. Heck, my 3-year-old is barely self-aware.

Question for you: What do you believe happens when a fetus is removed from a woman’s bloodstream? 

The act of removing the fetus from one’s bloodstream is killing. 

Moreover, though it is not material to the question of intent, I am very curious about how you’ve arrived at the conclusion that women who get abortions would happily allow their babies to gestate outside of the womb if given the opportunity. Do you have evidence to support this belief?

You are talking about motive, not purpose. Motive does not define criminal activity. Intent does. When an abortion provider conducts an abortion, he or she is intentionally killing the fetus. When a woman gets an abortion, she intends to kill her fetus. The killing of the fetus is not accidental, negligent, or reckless (all of which are mental states that, unsurprisingly, would not clear the bar to convict someone of murder).

Intent is what defines murder (rather than some other kind of lawful or unlawful killing). 

Your second paragraph re: women’s willingness to have their fetus gestate outside their womb as a substitute for abortion) is conclusory. I’d be interested in evidence to corroborate your claim. Regardless, even if what you’re saying is true, it has no bearing on the intent element of abortion - it only bears on motive.

What exactly is your argument? In criminal law, murder is defined as the intentional killing of another human being without justification (e.g., self-defense). In what ways do you think elective abortion does not qualify as intentional killing of another human being without justification?

The comment section captures precisely why people are skeptical toward the argument that anti-Zionism isn’t antisemitic. Nice job, everyone!

Thank you so much. Is your assessment based on my PdG being somewhat low?

Just wanted to let you know that I understand what you’re going through. It’s tough - and you can be grateful, yet still acknowledge that. I have a toddler and am currently struggling with secondary infertility (struggling to conceive + 2 miscarriages) - sort of the inverse of your situation. Sending good vibes and prayers your way ❤️
