Not everyone agrees with your belief system - which happens to coincide with religious Christian beliefs. Not everyone in the US are "Christians" and may have different spiritual/metaphysical views than you do.

That is why Roe vs. Wade was passed in the first place, to protect the rights of all Americans - not just the Evangelicals.

None of my arguments related to the soul or "metaphysical personhood". I'm simply taking the left logic to its logical conclusion. If a fetus is a parasite, so is a child; therefore a child can be killed at any age. If the fetus is a parasite on the resources of the mother, it is parasitic on the resources of the father; therefore men should have the right to terminate unwanted pregnancies (or unwanted children).

A parasite on society until it leaves home. Just like a retirement savings plan is a parasite

Guess that applies to you too since you are a child too, barely anybody here seems to realize they were all children once too.

I didn't see anything religious in Mr. Carter comments it seems that you are pushing the leftists view that this is being done by their arch enemies the evangelical right - which frankly is nothing but a boogey man used to scare the left.
