It does matter at the end of the day. Just because sometimes you gotta pick a lesser evil doesn't mean you get a free pass when there's evil vs no evil.
Normally I wouldnt bother responding when realizing someone wasn't asking their questions in good faith, but I can't get past the use of the word "evil". While there might be evil people out there having "evil" abortions, I can't bring myself to consider the situations where someone must decide between mother and child as evil. The only word that comes to mind is sadness, the heavy weight of an impossible decision.
Maybe all abortions arent created equal, but I know that it isn't something that can be legislated as a black and white, or good vs evil, issue.
Can you describe what you'd qualify as an "evil" abortion?
I suspect a couple of follow-ups will start narrowing your definition - people aren't getting them recreationally.
To answer your question about brain activity, basic brain development starts around 10 weeks, with rudimentary brain activity like adjusting to stimulus like suppressing startle responses starting in the final trimester. For comparison, this is a lower level of cognition than you'd observe in the livestock I assume you routinely eat.
You ever hear about the women who fight for custody of the dog in a divorce so they can kill the dog just to hurt their ex? The abortion equivalent of that after the baby is capable of thought is pretty evil.
5 months seems like plenty of time to make a decision before it can be unethical. The point of ethics is generally to avoid doing stuff to others where being in their shoes would be scary prospects.
No. The sounds like someone is making shit up because they have no real argument here. Since you've used the plural "women," I'm absolutely positive you'll be able to link multiple sources, right?
...right?
Do I gotta do everything for you?

You make a claim, you get to back it up. Whining about that simple fact doesn't help your position.
So you've got a story about one woman doing something horrible. The sane response would be to take away ALL women's rights based on the actions of a single person.
And looking at the comments you make in the nsfw communities, maybe you should shut up on the abortion issue...
ONE? Jesus Christ, we are done here. You can't do anything yourself and are literally looking away when showed.
