During any stage in our life, the functions carried out in our bodies have the plan of living. By our own decision, we can stop that activity, but for the most part our bodies function involuntarily. We do not order our hearts to beat or our lungs to function. Hence, akin to the embryo or fetus, we profit from the unaware intentionality of our bodily functions which act in manner which helps to keep us alive.

Similar to embryo or fetus, though at a later stage, we benefit from that life and active body that we have received.

As against this the pro-abortionists treat embryo or fetus as guilty until proven innocent since the unborn child's struggle to live is being cancelled without a hearing.
