I explained to the other anon that "exceptions" part of my comment are what Ryan stated as exceptions. Again, I believe all life is sacred, regardless of how it was conceived. I believe killing anything with a heartbeat is distressing, but for those who don't care the option could be there. I just don't understand it; it seems very alien to me. Perhaps this is due to massive cultural differences between my background and most Western people, but I cannot comprehend how one can view giving life as a "punishment." You say the baby's innocence is irrelevant because no one is talking about punishing it, but how is killing it not punishing it? The baby did not make a choice to exist or break laws.

Killing the fetus isn't punishing it; it's simply removing it from a place it's not allowed to be. Its death is a tragic side effect of that removal. It's not the fetus's fault that it's there, but that "innocence" doesn't grant it a right to be there.

On the other hand, how is forcing a woman to undergo an unwanted biological process that wreaks significant changes (some of which are permanent) on her body and dramatically impacts her life for an extended period of time, culminating in an intensely painful (sometimes fatal) incident, not punishment?

I believe this may simply come down to cultural differences, as I stated in my last post. I was taught that an individual should do his or her best to preserve all life (this includes animals) and every person has a moral obligation to do so. It would not be viewed as a "punishment" because even something precious is given up and the life of the mother is greatly impacted, a new life is allowed to live. I am not sure if this analogy would help, but if a person is told that they would need to cut off a finger in order to save the life of another person, I would hope that all people would have the compassion to do so. Because of the suffering a miracle is allowed to occur. I do not feel these morals should legally be imposed on everyone, I personally just can't comprehend the alternative.
