Yes, all those things are for prolonging something *good* (human life). Abortion is the exact opposite because it ends a life.

It prevents a person from forming. You and your husband do the same thing every time you abstain from sex whilst you are fertile.

Um no, because if there's no conception there's no human being. If there's conception, there's a human being.

Not really. Its a mass of cells for a long time. The time for abortion limits is set by when personhood - self-awareness and sensation and learning begins.

'Personhood' is another arbitrary cut-off without scientific consensus/basis. It's people saying "When do we GET to kill?" when decent rational people should only ask "When do we HAVE to kill?"

Meaningless.

Not really. Science can't define when this so-called 'personhood' begins. That's not within the purview of natural science. It is within the scope of philosophy, but there's literally no consensus because definitions either exclude some humans (comatose) or include some animals.

Do you remember the things you thought and felt at 1 year old?

No. There is evidence I did think & feel tho.

I think, in the interest of avoiding a fairly predictable counter, you may want to choose an exmaple that cannot be construed as a necessary risk, given that abstinence is a viable, 100% effective contraceptive measure.

Yeah, but then you don't get to have sex. I've been warned much more against cycling than I have against having sex. I didn't really need to do that either. I could have got places much more slowly.

You may have noticed the people who don't like abortion tend to also not like sex.
