So, will you answer my question? It's the same subject. My questions are based upon the idea of abortion being made illegal and thus a woman with an unwanted pregnancy having her liberties restricted.

There is no difference between a child and a fetus with a beating heart. It's still a living human being. Just because the child is more dependent on the mother doesn't mean that it's any less of a human. What's the difference between a person in a coma on life support that will recover in a few months and a fetus?

The mother is not having her liberties restricted by the fetus. If it was illegal to drink or smoke or do what ever that would be a denial of liberty by the government, because it's putting another individuals life over petty escapes and vices.
