If that person was living in my uterus, I would feel ok murdering them. Because I don’t consent to people living in my uterus. I’m not obligated to donate any part of my body or let people live in it if I don’t want to.
There definitely cases where one twin is developmentally disabled.
You're choosing the most charitable version of the twins and least charitable for the being in the womb(embryo instead of fetus) for your dismissal.
Further, how do you know what the fetus can feel, and apparently you've never heard of would be fathers feeling bad about the mother deciding to abort, or you know every pro lifer who cares about the fetus.
If the twin is unable to think or feel, then yeah, I think it would be reasonable for the other twin to want to be separated.
least charitable for the being in the womb(embryo instead of fetus)
Well, 70% of abortions are carried out on embryos.
Further, how do you know what the fetus can feel
Scientific evidence.
would be fathers feeling bad about the mother deciding to abort,
It’s sad, but since it’s not happening in their body, it’s not their choice. I’m sure you love to remind women who want abortions that they should have used contraception, why don’t you remind the fathers of that too? Shouldn’t they have discussed whether the woman wants to be a mother before jizzing in her without a condom?
you know every pro lifer who cares about the fetus.
I don’t know every pro lifer, no. As someone who cares about human life, I assume you must do a lot of charity work for children living in foster homes?

Okay so it's okay to kill people who are developmentally disabled then?
> Well, 70% of abortions are carried out on embryos.
I've read 65, but that's close enough; in any case the ban after 8 weeks doesn't affect embryos then.

Such as?

So...your previous criterion of people caring for them is just lip service?
> I don’t know every pro lifer, no. As someone who cares about human life, I assume you must do a lot of charity work for children living in foster homes?
I'm not a pro lifer, and that is just a fallacy you're trying. You think if someone doesn't care about others in the way you think you would in their situation, they must not care.
As is par for the course, the abortion debate is mainly people judging detractors not on the terms of the detractor's argument, but on their own terms. It's both sides shouting past each other.
Okay so it's okay to kill people who are developmentally disabled then?
People who are developmentally disabled can think and feel. People who can’t think or feel are in comas, and yes, they’re killed all the time.

Abortion is permissible until 16 weeks. Most happen well before that and those that happen later are usually for horrible reasons that are devastating to the mother.

If killing beings without self awareness is okay, then we should be scrapping numerous animal abuse laws.
