Also, why don't you try treating the unborn the way you want to be treated?
Who said he isn't? Since he is sentient and capable of feeling pain then he wants no harm to come to him. What you should have asked is "would you find it acceptable for someone to kill you were he to suffer severe irreversable brain damage?" since he would no longer be sentient or capable fo feeling pain much like the foetuses he was describing.
So some folks wasted their time and holiday and trotted out pictures of corpses. And they did this even after Tiller's murder, knowing full well the implications of what they're doing.
Theocrats are Social Darwinists.
Christianity has nothing applicable, appropriate, or worthwhile to offer the 21st century.

Clearly the best way to celebrate independence day is trying to revoke reproductive rights with pictures of third trimester abortions - you know, because most abortions are indistinguishable from oversized larva.
I guess in the tradition of white, male, property owners, it makes sense.
what gives you the right to draw the line where you do?
I was raised to believe that it is better to be safe than sorry. And the innocent human life is precious. The only line should be the ones who actually do something deserving of death cross. There should be no line in a pregnancy at which it is OK to kill the child inside. I don't care if it can feel pain or not. I don't care if it's aware of its surroundings. It's an innocent human life. And it has done nothing deserving of death.

According to God he would be better off having a mill stone tied around his neck and being thrown into the sea. Because he has no regard toward the harm of an innocent child merely because it can't feel pain, or think, or be aware. And I have no purpose to wish that upon him if he were unable to feel that pain.
