 1. fetuses are child candidates
 2. embryos are fetus candidates
 3. gametes are embryo half-candidates
 4. spermatocytes and spermatids are gamete-candidates
 5. healthy cells are cancerous cell candidates
 6. living humans are angel-candidates (in some mythologies)
 7. many "adults" are *adult* candidates in our culture

The abortion debate is *extremely* tired, yet still somehow vital,
personal, critical at all scales of human experience.    

<anecdotes> Roe v. Wade was decided about the time I was becoming
sexually active.   My older daughter was conceived out of wedlock and
could easily (by some measure of easy) have become an abortion
statistic, or if her maternal grandmother had had her way, an adoption
statistic, instead she became a high functioning scientist working hard
on virus research (Flavii not Corona) which has a big impact on global
health with a happy, healthy child of her own (my parents promoted ZPG
or Ro=1, I practiced Ro=1, my daughters chose an Ro of .5).   I would
not have encouraged *any* of these pregnancies to be terminated
early/deliberately yet I *would* have deferred such choices *to* the
mother in each and every case.  

I've a good friend who likes to point out that *he* was conceived
(brought to term, adopted) *just before* Roe v. Wade and would likely
NOT have been allowed to come to term if he'd been conceived post RvW,
yet I'm pretty sure he is *still* pro-choice.  

Mary's (R1.5)  twin grandchildren (R1)  just turned 6.   Their gestation
was problematic toward the end and in spite of heroic measures to avoid
premature birth, they were still 4 weeks premature and spent many weeks
in an incubator with significant non-mother support to become viable.  
The larger of the two at birth *might* have survived without modern
technology, though both of them received various treatments beyond
simple temperature/nourishment normalization. 

</anecdotes>

I find that most discussions around abortion are fraught with multiple
conflations, but then I suppose most issues with strong
political/sociological/ideological implications often do.   I have
remained persuaded from the first time I significantly considered the
implications of abortion that the woman who is pregnant has primary and
final decision authority about such matters.  Anything else represents a
much more slippery slope than the (also) obvious issues of *her* making
such decisions for her unborn child/fetus/embryo.

That does not mean that I don't believe there are other important
stakeholders who *do* have a right to an opinion, ranging from the
"sperm donor" to the nuclear family (parents, siblings, extant children)
to the mother's community of continuation (origin if she does not feel
the need to leave it over such issues), her medical providers, her
spiritual advisors, etc.   Right to opinion, not right to decide.   My
right to an opinion for anyone else's decisions (or my right for it to
be heard?) approaches nil as my social distance rises.

I am thankful that such decisions/issues/challenges have never been more
than passing, thin possibilities for me to consider personally.   I am
highly sympathetic with those who have not been so lucky (including
biological fathers, grandparents, close confidantes, etc. who were not
consulted or considered).
