If you don't consider it profoundly immoral to force a victim of a sexual crime to bear responsibility for the result of that crime, then we most certainly share very different views on morality; notions of right and wrong. 

You keep speaking of compromise when talking about abortion, but I don't know that I've seen you actually offer an ideas of your own. 

Finally, a zygote only contains the potential to become a person. The zygote is by definition human because it has 46 chromosomes, and produces human proteins and enzymes, but also classified as a single-cell organism. Moreover, about half of all zygotes don't survive the first two weeks. If you met a human being, it was obviously a person because it was capable of living outside the womb. How many persons have you met that couldn't survive outside the womb? 

In the case of rape/incest? yes should be allowed to abort. Report it and let the law arrest the Rapist.
But not every teenage pregnancy a "rape", so how do you handle those, there was nothing 'evil' there?


I've posted multiple times about what I think is a fair compromise and never changed my stance.

For the last part. That ONE little cell with it's complete genetic makeup, does start to divide and grow. Frozen Fertilized Embryo's, once thawed out, will start right away with dividing and growing whether they are in the womb or not. No scientist will tell you that a cell that a dividing cell is NOT alive.

This means, that blob of cells or whatever descriptive you desire to call it, KNOWS what to do in order to live. 
And now for our favorite word of the month... this makes it an autonomous living being in the early stages of development.
