SuperBalla Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 (edited) I'm not going to pursuade anyone anyways. I was just throwin in my 2 cents. 1493922[/snapback] If you keep that in mind here you'll be fine. Isn't it, at a minimum, intellectually dishonest, and at its worst, hypocritical, to be against abortion except in the case of rape/incest? If killing an unborn fetus is equivalent to the murder of a human life, how is it okay to commit this murder because the life was conceived through rape? 1493923[/snapback] I see yer point. My only problem with the current "abortion rights" women have is that it, IMO, they can be abused and are. To me having sex on the weekend with some chick you just was (for the record...very happily married) is fun and I'd bet 95% of single men's goals that hit the clubs is to slay arss...I'd bet 99% of single guys would slay if they could. Women...obviously much lower however the point is, there is a moral decision that is made and a chance that is taken that the gut bashing duo could conceive a child totally irresponsibly and fortunately for the chick...if she doesn't want the child...she'll have it killed and removed. I know it isn't that easy physically and I'd hope mentally too. On the contrast if a 14 year old girl was raped by her Uncle Skins the effects of bearing that child not only are physically scarring but the mental aspect would be devastating...I am sure you'd know more about that than I. I think you are a Psychologist...right? I swore I read that or something of that nature. The current laws leave a hole that is abused (nice play on the word hole) ...that's why I call it a luxery procedure. I don't want the gubbamint telling Bushwankers wife what to do with her organs. I am asking that we respect the life we create. If you can't have a child...maybe you should make him cover his weasel before the spleen gets bruised. What about the rights of this fetus? 1493934[/snapback] Wow...nice skins... way to go. Edited June 1, 2006 by SuperBalla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiegie Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 How was the horse last week? 1493815[/snapback] The best thing is that you can buy dried (cured) horse meat at pretty much any grocery store. Tasty! (Didn't see any horse fetus meat for sale though.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiegie Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 (edited) I think we should establish that to be consistent: 1) People who are pro-life must be against abortion in every case in which the mother would not die as a result of the pregnancy. 2) People who are pro-choice must be for allowing abortion up until the moment the umbilical cord is cut (or the afterbirth is ejected from the woman's body) (since up until that time the "baby" is obviously still part of the woman's body). Any positions besides these are intellectually dishonest. Edited June 1, 2006 by wiegie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azazello1313 Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 (edited) I think we should establish that to be consistent: 1) People who are pro-life must be against abortion in every case in which the mother would not die as a result of the pregnancy. if they're saying that abortion is murder, yeah. if they're saying abortion is a bad thing which the law should try and limit to extreme circumstances, then they're not really dishonest. 2) People who are pro-choice must be for allowing abortion up until the moment the umbilical cord is cut (or the afterbirth is ejected from the woman's body) (since up until that time the "baby" is obviously still part of the woman's body). 1494256[/snapback] not necessarily. not at alll, in fact. a 3 week embryo is VERY different, in almost every imaginable way, from a full term fetus. there is no inherent reason why the law can't differentiate between them and say the mother's right to control her own body overrides in one circumstance but not in the other. your argument here would hold that the birth control pill, which works in some instances by causing a fertilized egg not to attach, is morally exactly equivalent to, say, a late-term partial birth abortion. i think that is preposterous, and i'm pretty sure 90% of the population agrees with me.

You are saying that the whether abortion should be legal or not depends upon the status of the fetus, but the pro-abortion (pro-choice, pro-whatever) people define their argument based on the mother and her rights, not with regard to the fetus.
