So: my 13 year old, who, as teens do, is playin' around with different ways of thinkin', who currently has no 'real heart felt ethics' of his own, is not a person?

As I say several times up-thread (with accompanying explanation): I'm thinkin' lil fetus person becomes a person no later than week 12 (and probably a helluva lot earlier than that).

Which is long before the time that the vast majorities of abortions occur (which is, incidentally, none of your business).

Why are abortions none of any males' business ? That sounds like something Germaine Greer would say and she's a certifiable FUCKWIT. There is a case in the US where a young woman had an abortion without telling her boyfriend (who impregnated her) . The boyfriend was very distressed/pissed off/depressed about this, because the unborn child that was aborted was, of course, HIS child as well. He went to Court, the Court ruled that he that he could sue the abortion clinic that provided the RU - 486 abortifacient drug that his girlfriend used to effect her abortion. He did sue successfully. But it was not a matter of money for this boy, he was devastated psychically by what his girlfriend has done, and I think those wounds will take a long time to heal (if ever). Men aren't like women - they don't forget shit like that; it can haunt them for a long , long time.

Whilst I would argue for the earliest possible abortion, and agree that 12 weeks would be a better time to aim for than 24 weeks. Foetuses are no "persons" until they are named and certified by live birth.
Premature births at 24 weeks are survivable, though the children can face serious medical conditions. I would try to convince any prospective mother to keep any child over 22 weeks.
Gaffo should take a look at this. https://www.whattoexpect.com/pregnancy/ ... ek-24.aspx

Certainly, that's one legitimate (and, in my view, flawed) way to look at personhood.
I can't think of what you mean by "legitimate" there. There's not a thing that's "legitimate" about it.
It requires us to imagine that people can just choose to arbitrarily affirm or deny the ontological reality of another person. Sort of like Hitler could do with the Jews, gypsies, homosexuals, and handicapped...

I did not read the whole thread. the whole Abortion - like gun debate bores me and take the middle ground on both.
if you wish to explain the 12 week thing, i'd welcome understanding your view - as implied before I did not read this entire thread (since abortion is of little interest to me) - but would like to understand your views about "when a human becomes a human" -------no not really interested since the abortion debate does bore me, but do value understanding your views personally on the matter to understand you as a man a do respect in some things (not most - i think you are wrong on most counts - but when in agreement i would like to understand your views on the matter)
again abortion debate bores me personally and i leave the abortion/when cells are a baby to science/viablility (per pragmatism - vs when the "soul is born" and cells become human)
but you refer to 12 weeks and so would welcome understanding of your views on the matter.
I get my nuts in a bunch over Jury Pardon/Nullification.........................."jury what"............... exactly. my nuts are in a bunch over a matter 98-percent know nothing about and instead are fixated on guns and abortion...............the latters i have little interest in.
