You talk about the fetus as if it's a living thing. You can't prove or disprove it either way, so it's moot. The only path this thread will lead to is about whether or not the fetus is really alive and deserves rights.. and that gets nowhere because no one knows the answer - it's all opinion.

Like I said, the two situations between murder and abortion are different for fairly obvious reasons. One is assault, the other is a conscious legal choice of the host to follow through with a medical procedure to remove the cells growing inside of her.

Murder is illegal, so why isn't it illegal for you to kill someone in self-defense? The person dies either way, right? You have to take into context what's happening. If a man walks up to a pregnant woman and just kicks her in the stomach causing her to lose her fetus, it's subjective and would most likely be murder of sorts because it wasn't up to the attacker to decide whether the fetus lives or dies.. especially if the mother had every intention on allowing it to grow and develop.

The mother (the host) owns those cells. Nobody (except her) has any say over them. Period.
