If you mean the last part of my post, I was trying to highlight how your analogy between fetuses and dying people on the street doesn't work.
You are selfish because you believe you can do what you want to a fetus, simply because it does not have the ability to tell you NO. You are selfish because you believe, like many others, that YOUR life is somehow more valuable that that of your unborn child. You know nothing. You could die tomorrow and have absolutely no impact on the world, but your kid could grow up to be someone who cures cancer. You don't know what you are killing when you have an abortion, you don't know who you are impacting by refusing to give of yourself so that someone else can live.

And how is it any different, if I refuse to help someone who is dying because I don't want to, or if I refuse to give birth because I don't want to? If life is invaluable, life is invaluable. A homeless man is doing nothing but using my tax dollars, and if I stop to help him, my whole day could be negatively impacted. Therefore, I shouldn't have to. Right?
