        It’s not even close to the same. Abortion laws shouldn’t exist in the first place. The decision should be left up to the woman alone. All this law is doing is making providers worry about the consequences of performing one. A law against theft deters theft… There is a purpose to that.

            It’s not a baby. It’s a blob. It has no sentience and the mother doesn’t want it in her body. It’s basically a parasite.

                No one should be forced to carry a fetus. End of story

                    Except for the laws that punish people who seek medical aid. As exemplified by the post. Also flase equivalency.

                If a fetus is a “blob,” so are born babies, children, and adults.

                No, those are fully formed individuals that can survive on their own if separated from the mother. The fetus is surviving off it’s mother’s body. Stealing her nutrients. The only thing separating it from fitting the definition of a parasite is the “different species” caveat.

                    What’s the difference between a “blob” and a “fully formed individual” and why is killing one acceptable while killing the other isn’t?

                    The fully formed individual has sentience and can live more or less on it’s own. An infant can be passed off to someone else to care for. The blob can only survive by leeching resources from it’s mother’s body. If she doesn’t want to participate in that it’s her decision. Similar to how if someone living with their parents outlasts their welcome they can be evicted.
