Oh I am sorry. I did not realize that you could not infer logical conclusions of your own statements. Perhaps I could post your own statements as well as my response to help you keep up.
Your statement
Part of my reply to help you focus

Honesty - what a breath of fresh air THANK YOU.
Yes it is a child - so are parents obligated morally to raise and care for the child?
After the abortion had occured and it was quivering like a newborn does when they cry.

This is not a "new" question at all.
The ancient Greeks disposed of their children quite often. The Spartan culture would present the newborn before a tribunal and the city elders would decide. If the child met certain requirements it survived.
The ancient Near East nations, as part of most religions would sacrafice their children by burning in fire or hanging on the wall of the city.
This was all done for " the betterment of the society" or in the case of Athenians the career and financial status of the parents and family.
It all seemed rational and perfectly accepted behaviour.
Now we can look at this and say " how barbaric". Maybe in the future people will look back at our society and say " Do you believe they aborted their own children - how barbaric."

Ah - more honesty THANK YOU. Hey you can cause me to think very hard about important issues when you aren`t just railing at me
.
WTF are you on about?
What does "our" lives have to do with others, and do you think there is a conflict between the two? Do you our ability to draw a line and answer the question, or even that the question is relevant to the debate?

Your statement
You keep referring to foetuses as children but consistently fail to qualify that... why should we regard a foetus as a child
It's a reasonable supposition if ever there was such a thing to believe you were a fetus at one time. Or could I be reaching and grasping for logic and reason here?
To be right on, there is no accurate record of when life begins, only when it ends.
if the parents cant agree then to the mother since she is the one who has to carry the child for nine months and undego the birth of the child.
The fetus actually lives in a sac of fluid so how would you tell tears from the amniotic fluid.

The question then is, at what point do we say that human tissue becomes an human being?

If you want to find a solution to the abortion problem, I suggest you devote some energies to asking yourself the question "What is human life", and then work up from there.
