Parrying the Counters of Pro Choice not the Position of Pro Choice.?First off, my actually position may (or if your clever or know my stance already, may not) surprise you, so don't go haywire, also this isn't an argument against abortion but an argument against the counters pro choice advocates throw out.
Now the counter pro choice advocates throw out is that the fetus isn't a life, that it is a mass of tissue and isn't a human until birth.
I disagree if we are to use the legal definition of death
(1) irreversible cessation of circulatory and respiratory functions, or
(2) irreversible cessation of all functions of the entire brain, including the brain stem, is dead.
Due to medical advancements in recent decades number two is the most common definition of death. If the end of brain activity signifies death, then the start of it must signifies life, human existence.
That being the case, brain activity doesn't start at conception but after 8 weeks of gestation, where motor movement starts developing.
Using this, an abortion after 8 weeks is in fact ending human life, as it then fills in the necessary category for death. Now logically it would be less cumbersome if the arguments of pro choice countered with something along the lines as being a necessary sacrifice for women to control their own bodies.
Agree or Disagree? And Why?
MAD sheeeeeeeit! wants you!!
actually the key argument made by dems regarding abortion is that its a woman's body and her right to choose what to do with. No one sees abortion as a good thing.

I don't think ANYONE sees abortion in itself as a good choice.
Brain activity begins in the 8th week. Personally, I believe that abortion after the 8th week is a travesty.
Mindful of that, it is the law that women have a right over their reproductive organs for a myriad of reasons. And - as such - women also have the supreme obligation to care for, protect and love the children they do bear in the best possible way.

As you stated in 2 "irreversible cessation of all functions of the entire brain, including the brain stem, is dead."
Clearly states "Entire brain" The entire brain is not developed at 8 weeks.
Not sure how I really feel about this subject, but you were asking for arguments.

How about this, mind your own uterus.

Frankly, I might sound cold. But I could care less when a fetus becomes a life or what not. I'm being honest. Just like pro-lifers don't care so much about that "precious life"- in till its mother goes welfare or that child becomes a burden on society. XD Lets not lie to ourselves, now.
I'm just pro-choice, in the ability to choose. I'm pro-life for *myself* anddd that's it. Everyone else could do what they want. No matter how much I disagree.
