Logically, in this case, you are referring to me. And characterizations like "those who wish to cheapen life" only seek to substitute character assassination for valid argument of facts. Further, my only agenda in this is to recognize that a person should have control over their own body and it's processes and future. "Never accept the beginnings of life"? Right-to-lifers (who are mostly men) have their own flaws which I will not go into here, but neither will they accept logic or democracy on this issue. The vast majority of people agree that contraceptives are acceptable, the "morning after pill" is acceptable, and that abortion during the first two or three months is acceptable for any reason including choice. Reality is that people will engage in sex, and women will become pregnant in some instances even if they have used every contraceptive and taken every precaution. And the vast majority of people agree that in such a case a timely abortion is acceptable.... --all that is except the "right-to-lifers". They want to control everyone and their private decisions.
First of all, it is a "fetus" and not a "baby" (or "babe") until it is born. But more importantly, show me evidence of any section of America describing a fetus as a "parasite". You choose to hold false and "evil" views of your opposition ("parasite" and "invading force") and that is usually done so they can be dehumanized and discarded, yet you chant and cheer for the "precious life that is a fetus" in all likelihood.
Crystals grow. But I agreed that the zygote is alive. So what's your point? How many chickens, steer, sheep, and fish are killed daily for your food? They are "life". An unfertilized egg is alive. A sperm is alive. But you don't seek to protect them. What is the "magic" about a fertilized egg that drives you? Potential? That would be a personal, private interest of hope that you hold to. Ethics or morality? What sort of ethics demands another person face a life of probably hardship because of their own twisted sense of "ethics" or "morality"? What about the ethics and morality of forcing a rape victim to live with the memory and product of her ordeal and that of a criminal mentality, or defective mentality, or violent mentality, or just someone she doesn't love? Irrelevant?
Strange morals and ethics.
You refuse to face the fact that the "human that is being formed in the womb" doesn't feel anything, doesn't sense anything, isn't aware of anything any more than an ovum does until about 20 weeks have passed. So it can hardly be considered a "human being" or a "baby".
Tell me this: above I mentioned rape. Do you stand with that teeny tiny minority who oppose abortion even for a rape victim?
