I would like someone to explain to me how a fetus is a potential life, and not a life. She was just a little pregnant. Those cells are not the mother’s cells, so what are they if not a young person? How do they become a child? Oh, I forgot – at the moment of the mother’s decision assuming she does not change her mind. Or at some other equally arbitrary benchmark set for the convenience of the parents.
All the context is considered except the child’s life. To think that the opposite decision, leading to the death of this particular child, would be applauded – would have equal meaning – the irony is finally explained by the one thing that applies to both.
What the mother wants is always right.
