Azazello1313 Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 we are talking about what they do with another human being. Dont you liberals get it? The unborn baby is not just another part of mother like a spleen or a wisdom tooth. It is a seperate and distinct human being who simply has a parasitic relationship to its mother. So, quit acting like murdering the baby is simply the mother doing something with her own body. 1493612[/snapback] you're stating your conclusion as argument, and just passing right over complex ethical distinctions in the process. to illustrate this, i would like to ask you, spain, when EXACTLY does life begin? is it the moment the egg is fertilized?

But its certainly not at birth. And the child is certainly "alive" during the first tri-mester as any parent who has had an ultra sound done can tell you.

skins Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Why? Who decided that the life of the mother is worth more than the life of the fetus? 1493638[/snapback] Why exactly does the mothers life "trump" that of the baby? 1493640[/snapback] Our Founding Fathers, government, legislatures, citizens, courts and society? What country do you live in? If you think I am wrong, why dont you explain some of the rights of the fetus in America to all of us, please.

godtomsatan Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 So, if you believe its wrong to legalize the murder of unborn children, you are retarded?

Azazello1313 Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 That I am not sure. 1493666[/snapback] oh so you're not really sure. just sure enough to want politicians and judges to decide exactly where that line is and to call people who decide for themselves murderers?

wiegie Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 For the record, when my wife gave birth a few months ago there were a few sketchy moments and I have no doubt that if it had come down to the doctors giving me a decision to save my wife versus saving the baby, I would have chosen for them to save my wife.

No unfortunately, we have had liberal asspipes like skins in gobment who think killing innocent children is somehow a mothers right. The same sort of jack asses who now think fetuses had no legal rights, used to think blacks had no rights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, that would make our government like that of totalitarian China. It will never happen because too many Americans understand the proper limitations on government intrusion into the private lives of US citizens.

wiegie Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 completely different discussion. 1493692[/snapback] no it isn't considering that we were just debating whether the mother or the child had a greater "rights". Taken to the extreme this easily forces the question of who has the "right" to live if a choice must be made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the Founding Fathers did define who were citizens and who had rights in this country, and those definitions have been expanded over the years. Someone please point me to where they were expanded to include the fetus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The exception being that the anti-abortion people today claim that allowing abortion is a terrible allowance by the government to let some people kill other people.

An American citizen is not allowed to murder wife just because she isn't a citizen. We have been over this numerous times before and you always admit that I am right, but yet for some reason you keep using the same argument.

Judges made the call on that one. Lets make abortion illegal and that question wont ever have to be answered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
