your "Basic sense of moral" is BASED off the bible - making that statement circular logic
Part of it yes, but it's not based mearly on the bible. It's alos based on the basics of human society.

which you almost certainly largely define based off the bible - much of the "morality" christians adhere to ("no abortions!!!", "homosexuality is evil!!!") aren't actually present in the bible even btw
That not what the religion stands for, in fact it is against such things. Alltough some people see only what they want to see.
evidence suggests that religion doesn't stand against it, as it has been the single largest cause of wars in the past several thousand years
Cute. It is a LIVING thing,
and ant is a living thing, so was the salad you just ate
it is a human
not yet - it cannot yet survive on it's own and its bodily dependant on it's mother
...but since it doesn't have individuality yet, it's OK to kill it?
it's not ALIVE yet - it's not its
own life - it's only alive as part of it's mothers body. refering to it as anything OTHER than part of the mothers body prior to viability is a fallacy
"You have no rights, as you are not yet worthy of them" - that sentance was repetated again and again in history only to give more previliges to those that allready had them.
false analogy and underhanded godwin.
it's not "it's not worthy of them yet" it's "it ISN'T A THING yet" - it's NOT a seperate entity from it's mother until viability.
Even if it was the mother cannot be forced to give of her own body for it - so even if it was a seperate entity and therefore had rights - it's rights don't trump the mothers.
Yes, I can compare this to slavery and racism.
with invalid analogies
No, it's not. You claimed that a fetus is not guaranteed to grow, and I demonstrated that you'r not guarnateed to grow old. What we do know however is - what WILL happen if everything goes Ok. the child will be born and you will row old.
which is COMPLETELY irrelevant in law - law deals with what IS not what COULD BE. If it dealt with what COULD BE I could have you arrested for bombing an abortion clinic - because you COULD BE planning to do that
A cell alone does not a human make,
make up your mind - either a cell (the first stage after fertilization) is or isn't a human - make up your mind
but a fetus is a cluster of GROWING cells that has the NDS imprint of the final human it will become.
which means JACK SQUAT
humans are not special
a featus cannot live outside of the woman's body - it is not it's own life - therefore it is not an individual and has no rights
even if the previous was not true and it did have rights, the mother cannot be forced to give up her own body for the sake of another
And the first thing that is formed IS the brain.
no the first thing formed is not the brain, go back to science class.
