Which political ideology do you most identify with?
The concept of a body being a person without having the capacity for being in a state consciousness…
Very few pro-choice advocates really consider what kind of doors are being opened when you define human life using any other metric than...well, life.
I'll add to that to answer the common "we unplug life support patients" argument. A brain dead patient on life support is still protected under law despite having no conscious thought and being "non-viable" on their own, and the only person permitted to pull the plug on them is someone who that patient previously gave express consent to do that (medical power of attorney). Since a baby has never given consent to have the plug pulled on them, there is no justifiable way to say a baby can be killed simply by virtue of being non-viable. Viability has never been a determination of human life unless express consent was given beforehand.
