I have two points to add. It takes some time before the zygote (human) implants itself in the womb. Hours? Day? Two? To me, this is the woman's only moral point of rejecting this zygote. If was created by a deliberate, chance or forced encounter with no intentions of getting pregnant, this is that window of opportunity to not accept that pregnancy. The morning after pill. After it implants, it is now a part of her and there are valid and invalid arguments for her having the right to reject it. Not arguing that point one way or the other here. But I believe that before that point, she has a valid claim to do so, just as the father has no obligation to accept responsibility for it. Just my reasoning. Not arguing the point here.
Second point. For those that reject the humanity of the zygote, on to birth, can you explain the single point where it goes from non human to human and what makes it so? What sudden biological changes made it so? Just asking.
