24 weeks isn’t arbitrary, it is my formulated opinion on roughly when life begins. I’ve been part of thousands of births (many have moved me to tears) and thousands of D&C procedures. I’ve seen many things happen in countless scenarios. Even though I feel like I’ve seen it all, I am not going to force my belief onto anyone else that life begins at 24ish weeks. You’re welcome to believe it begins at conception, or birth, or any time in-between. Try to instill those values in your loved ones if you feel so convicted. Please do.
The difference is my stance allows people to disagree, while many on here want to deny that freedom of thought and choice. If that’s the country you want to live in, great. I’m not keen on a non-fiction version of the Handmaid’s Tale, though.
