              Hardly. Infanticide being illegal doesn’t compromise the body autonomy of anyone, but abortion being illegal, does.

            Foetus are pretty conscious. They kick about in the womb among other things. Saw an ultrasound of an abortion and the poor thing was trying to resist ☹️

                Yes? Animals are conscious and aware of their surroundings

                  You remember being in the womb then? Or being a sperm? Those move, you know.

                  Bacteria move, but I don’t think you can argue they have minds capable of suffering. Your body would be doing a lot of murder every second of every day in that case. What about insects? Do you consider ants and mosquitos conscious? Should they be protected by animal rights laws?

                  For a lot of the duration of a pregnancy, a fetus is not composed of enough cells to be much different.

                  The body autonomy, let alone the health of a woman should not be compromised to “protect” a life that isn’t a life yet.

                    I don’t remember being 1 or 2 years old. You saying it’s okay to murder me as long as I don’t remember it when I’m older or something? 🤣

                    The difference between a foetus and bacteria or ants, is that a foetus is human. Bacteria and ants aren’t. I cannot believe we’ve stooped to this level of immorality.
