Think SLED

There are four differences between the unborn and a newborn.

1.) Size
2.) Level of Development
3.) Environment
4.) Degree of Dependency

(Think SLED)

Size: The unborn are smaller than other humans. Note that size does not have bearing on the human right to life. Small humans have just as much of a right to live as big humans.

Level of development: The unborn are less developed than a newborn. Note that level of development has no bearing on the human right to life. (Newborns are less developed than toddlers, who are less developed than adolescents, etc. )

Environment: The unborn are inside of a woman. Note that the location someone is in has no bearing on the human right to life.

Degree of dependency: The unborn have a unique degree of dependency on the mother prior to birth. Note that degree of dependency has no bearing on the human right to life. Many people are dependent on outside things to live such as oxygen tanks and heart regulators.

Many believe that the differences between an unborn baby and newborn baby are so fundamentally drastic that abortion can be permitted.

Yet, size, level of development, environment, and degree of dependency are not differences that fundamentally change the nature of a human being.

None of these four differences stipulate that the unborn are in anyway sub-human, or have less of a right to life than a newborn.
