Again, you are making it a philosophical debate.
Extraction from the mother is usually what an abortion is, correct?
Therefore a fetus with a beating heart that is extracted from the mother is a person, legally.
If life is so precious, why do we choose to eat aborted chicken fetuses?

Does anyone have any issues with eating eggs? If life is so precious, why do we choose to eat aborted chicken fetuses? What makes a human life any more precious than a chicken's? Those who are against abortions seem to set a lot of double standards.

No I'm not.

A C-section is an extraction......

Once extracted, a fetus is no longer a fetus! It's a born baby person. (legally)

Then induced abortion should not be included in the legal definition.
But do you see how far you have twisted this in order to make it a choice?
1:Babies are only people once they breathe. (what about babies on life support?)
2:Babies are only people if they are wanted.
3:Babies are only people if they can contribute.
4: Pets are persons also.
5:Egg and sperm are humans (biologically they are only material for pregnancy)
Then you tell me it is not philosophical. You are defending a choice, that makes it philosophical.
You aren't defending the choice to even view a fetus as a human, you are only defending the choice to discard a biological human.

The pill prevents an egg from being fertilized yet some Christians (Catholics in particular) seem to be against it. If you eat ufertilized eggs then how can you be against the prevention of fertilizing a human egg?

Maragret Sanger's Eugenics policies are still in full force in many countries.
how is taking birth control any different than a farmer keeping roosters away from the hens in order to prevent fertilization?

God orders the slaughtering of infants and babies already born, he even ordered the killing of pregnant women in so many words, so why would he be against abortions today?
How do we know women who decide to get abortions aren't unknowingly following god's orders and ultimate plan?

Why is it ok to force birth control on chickens but bad for women to voluntarily take birth control pills?
I can give one reason that it is bad for women to take birth control pills. Side effects, blood clots being the one that pops into my head first.
I can think of a reason that it is okay to force birth control on chickens.
Because they are chickens.

It's not really abstinence if the chicken is being held against its will from having sex, abstinence implies a personal choice, the chickens do not have a choice in the matter.
Even if it were abstinence (which it isn't), it's still a form of birth control because it is a way to avoid any chance of pregnancy, which is exactly what the pill is (voluntarily) used for.
Why is it ok to force birth control on chickens but bad for women to voluntarily take birth control pills? It's the same exact concept. I'm pointing out a double standard some Christians tend to make.
If you aren't against BC then this isn't directed toward you.

Why would god order the "abortion" of live babies then condemn anyone who used the pill or got an abortion performed on themselves voluntarily?
