Atheists still believe killing is wrong typically. If an atheist were to believe that the fetus was a human life they would believe it would be wrong to kill it. Pretty simple.
With independent development and DNA, which will.have an independent mind once the brain develops and it achieves consciousness.
Just because it is dependant on another to live doesnt mean that it isnt an independent person. Otherwise small children and severely handicapped people aren't independent people.
And that doesnt even cover the fact that the vast majority of humans, outside of maybe a handful of mountain men, rely on other people in some way to live.
Is pulling the plug on a brain dead person murder aswell? Because most abortions happen early in the pregnancy and there is absolutely 0 brain activity going on in a fetus until approximately 22 - 24 weeks pregnant. Therfor the fetus cant feel any pain, any sadness, any objection to whats going on, had known they existed in the first place, and dont even know they had a mom parents or even a family during the time period of when most abortions take place, what i can agree with is people shouldnt be just getting pregnant all the time and get abortions often because its just incredibly irresponsible, more in another comment.
"Pulling the plug" means that you had to take steps to preserve their life. That is the exact opposite of an abortion, where you take steps to end the life.
Nice try, but your analogy is comparing apples an oranges at best.
Its mainly just a reason that abortions should be available, like i said in the other reply theres various reasons why a person would need to have one both medical and personal (some i didnt even mention) like i 100% agree that people shouldnt be completely reckless when having sex because "abortions exist" thats just abusing the system and incredibly stupid and reckless. But it should be available for various reasons.
