Pro-choice

Ahhh, another thing you don't understand. Leaving aside that this doesn't apply to me at all, since I do not agree with abortion up to term, if you think that the only thing that happens at birth is that the baby moves 3 inches, then you are sadly uninformed. There are massive physiological changes, particularly to the respiratory and circulatory systems. The biological difference between a foetus ten minutes before birth and a baby ten minutes after are profound.
Not quite what was being put to you of course. The point was 3" outside the womb and the human being can live, and after 14 weeks in some countries. So its sort of location, location, location but without Kirstie Allsop.

So what? The Nazis did X.
The Nazis were evil.
Therefore X is evil.
They made the trains run on time, which isnt evil, and they killed anyone whose life they felt was not viable. I'll leave you to work out to which one of those your ideas on pro-choice abortion matches

Precisely the point put to me, that is the lie, "for you it's all about location". Location is not so important as development and the ability to survive ex utero. If you think that any foetus delivered at 14 weeks can life, then you are insane.

Neither, which is my point. Your attempt at Godwinism fails again. Do you people only have three arguments? You keep reprising the same carp time after time, ignoring the fact that they all crashed and burned decades ago.

For me, to qualify as a person, a foetus must be sufficiently developed to live out side the womb and be cared for, if necessary, by someone other than the mother.

Who is calling nazis evil?

The dehumanizing of unborn babies and Jews isn't a comparison of evil. Abortion and killing Jews isnt thought of as evil by those who hold those views,

Again you are being disingenuous by comparing the dehumasing of Jews by the Nazis with the view held by every human civilisation, ever.

You are. You are using "Nazi" as a shorthand for evil.

True. The difference is that the vast majority of people in current society think that killing Jews is unqualified evil, while abortion is justified in certain circumstances, a necessary evil if you will.

In current western society, but has not always been.

On the contrary. It is affirming what being a human person is.
Excuse me. I was talking about killing the unborn human being, using dehumanising criteria, and you say killing the unborn human being is affirming the human person.

It is not for me to say whether or not the fetus is a person; it is certainly for me to say that it is not in evidence that it is a person.

It's not for you to say whether or not the fetus is a person, either.

I didn't ask one.
Not for me to say but it is for Temujin to say. Hmmn interesting
