Actually you would feel pain, until you died, as a z/e/f though they do not feel pain their is medical professionals that say not until mid 20 (wks.) I have been stabbed I know pain, I walked dow the wrong road one day and got it in the knee, I would voluntarily show the scar too if you would like.

We feel pain, they dont, you dont know pain till you can think. what does feeling pain have to do with deserving to live? is that some sort of a rule you made up because you think you are some sort of a god?





* CLAIM: The 12-week fetus experiences pain.

* FACTS: At this stage of the pregnancy, the brain and nervous system are still in a very early stage of development. The beginnings of the brain stem, which includes a rudimentary thalamus and spinal cord, is being formed. Most brain cells are not developed. Without a cerebral cortex (gray matter covering the brain), pain impulses cannot be received or perceived. Additionally, experts find that newborns at 26–27 weeks' gestation (24–25 weeks' fetal age) who survive have significantly less response to pain than do full term newborns.

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists
Statement on Pain of the Fetus

We know of no legitimate scientific information that supports the statement that a fetus experiences pain early in pregnancy.

We do know that the cerebellum attains its final configuration in the seventh month and that mylenization (or covering) of the spinal cord and the brain begins between the 20th and 40th weeks of pregnancy. These, as well as other neurological developments, would have to be in place for the fetus to receive pain.

To feel pain, a fetus needs neurotransmitted hormones. In animals, these complex chemicals develop in the last third of gestation. We know of no evidence that humans are different.

to influence some naive girl into believing that abortion is not wrong because the being inside her womb is not alive or is not human is committing cold blooded conspiricy to commit homicide. if a naive girl obtains an abortion because she was led to believe that the being inside her womb is not human or alive that is cold blooded premeditated homicide.


Well she isnt, when you go to a clinic you are well informed that it is a Z/e/f is alive and very much human. They also tell you, that you can back out at any time, that if you are feeling pressure not to. They also make you sign paperwork to make sure you understand exactly what was said and what is going to happen, just like any surgical procedure.

Naieve no, ANTRISE you are blind, open your eyes.........


Anything can be alive, Yes it is human but the difference between a Child that is here and a child that is a potential with a conscious, not feeling pain, emotions.
what does feeling pain have to do with deserving to be alive? is that some sort of rule you made up because you believe you are some sort of a god? any person can be numbed up enough to not feel pain at any level of devlopment? are you trying to convince us that homicide is acceptable as long as you inject the victims with morphine prior to whacking them?

Just a question for the pro-lifers...

The way I see it, PLs are 100% against abortion. But PCs are theoretically 50% for and 50% against abortion. Just because someone is PC, doesn't mean they will get an abortion as soon as they find out they are pregnant, or even have one at all. I'm PC, and I personally probably wouldn't have an abortion, but would never look down on anyone having one.

My question is, why is it so hard to accept that PC means they have the CHOICE to abort, not necessarily SUPPORTING every woman to have an abortion? Also, why is abortion automatically associated with promiscuousy and lack of BC?


The PC crowd looks at the lives of the currently living, the mother and father, and see how a baby would affect their lives. The pro life crowd looks at the unborn, yet alive, and try to protect it and give it a chance at continuing it's young life.

Being pro choice, DOES support every abortion that happens. That is the simple truth. Even the term, Pro Choice: Choose life, or death. It is really that simple. Another term could be: Abortion sympathizer. YOU may never have an abortion, but you would support those who would.

Abortion is NOT automatically associated with promiscuity or lack of BC. That is a blatent lie and misconception about pro lifers. Our position is: We don't care how or why one became pregnant, we only want the innocent life, to be allowed to live.

But, you needn't worry about this for much longer. The Pro Life movement is dead. Sure, it is active, but it is pointless.

Where did I say in post they weren't human PLEASE QUOTE

If you read correctly I said they were human, if you read correctly and Ill RE QUOTE Iwhat I wrote

THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A BORN child and a unborn child (or as a potential as you like to call them)

Any scientist,Doctor, or any educated person can tell you that Antrise..

BORN CHILD-Feels pain, has emotions, needs attention, needs affection, needs to be fed with food either by breat or with formula and then moves on to JAR FOOD etc etc..

A Unborn
Takes away oxygen from its mother, does not feel pain, has no emotions, does not have a conscious, takes the mothers energy, consumes what the mother consumes, can cause health issues in a mother, either light or severe.

If you dont know pain do you want to live? Being able to feel, live, breathe, feeling emtions is what makes us conscious.

Considering I tried to commit suicide when I was a teenager due to abuse, I was numb but I could still feel pain...........it just doesnt affect you the same way....

A unborn human cannot feel any pain at ALlL EMOTIONALLY OR PHYSICALLY.

It's not about the unborn "not deserving to live". It's about the mother deserving to choose for herself whether she wants to give her body over to a pregnancy. The unborn zef/child/baby/your-choice-of-word does die in the process, and that's unfortunate. If there were a way to safely remove it without causing death, I would advocate for that. But the mother should not be subjected to a pregnancy unless she chooses to be.

They don't feel pain, they have no conscience, they don't know what's going on.

The first time I watched 'the silent scream', where 'scientists' claimed a 12wk old fetus was screaming, I cried. But when I got my ultrasound done, I realized every movement that baby was doing, my baby was doing the same thing, with no type of instrument invading her space.

The only people that know a fetus is aborted is the people that do it, and the woman/parents of zef/whoever they told. If a baby is born full term, it affects a lot more lives than that, so killing a homeless person is a lot different that killing a z/e/f that less than 10 people know about.

That is where we differ. To us, it is not about the quality of life, it is about life. We advocate personal responsibillity and self control. The choice whether to kill or let a baby live, was made the night that it's parents had sex. The total disregard for life here, is astonishing. You feel that an unborn life is not worthy of life.

Based on the attitudes expressed here, there is zero difference. It seems to all boil down to the quality of life here. To the pro aborts, their quality of life, will supposedly go down if they have their baby. Just like a homeless persons low quality of life. And those other lives that you speak of, could come to find out that it would have been a loss to never have had the baby. Babies can effect lot's of people in a very positive way, emotionally, for example. Where killing is always negative.

Do you feel the same way about rape? Do you feel sex is only for procreation? Are you personally against birth control?

You don't even know me, sugar. You don't know a single thing about me. Whatever ideas you have in your little head about what I'm worthy of are irrelevant to me.

And if I had the same laws that pro aborts have protecting their right to kill...lol pro choicers are lucky the law is hypocritical.

The mother gets to make her "CHOICE" when she decides to have SEX or NOT...period!

Becoming pregnant AFTER making the choice to commit the ACT that may CREATE a child...is called a CONSEQUENCE!!!

No, it's called a punishment, and it's something you only wish to inflict on women for sexual activity.

Please step out of the dark ages and stop treating women like wombs with legs.

You want to have sex...then be prepared to deal with the consequences that may arise from CHOOSING to do so...period!

Yea, I am against birth control...with the exception of ABSTINENCE! Now tell us...do you believe that women are too stupid to know what causes pregnancy? And do you believe that women are incapable of controlling themselves...meaning, they are pretty much like animals, have sex whenever the urge takes over???

Because essentially that is what you are saying! That women are totally incapable of THINKING BEFORE THEY ACT!

You say it is unfortunate. Which means that you don't you may not like it, but you still support killing it to shore up "choice".

"But the mother should not be subjected to a pregnancy unless she chooses to be."

See? Hey, you said it.



"Do you feel the same way about rape?"

Yep. Life does suck sometimes. Plus it is only 1% of all abortions.


"Do you feel sex is only for procreation?"

Yep. Cavemen didn't know what foreplay was. They did what they had to do in 30 seconds, and left.

"Are you personally against birth control?"

I condone the NFP(natural family planning) You should try it, the build up leads to some really great sex.




"You don't even know me, sugar. You don't know a single thing about me. Whatever ideas you have in your little head about what I'm worthy of are irrelevant to me."

Did you read what I wrote, the part that you quoted back to me? It said this:

I feel that your life is not worthy of it.

I said that "I" feel. Just like you feel that an unborn baby is unworthy of life because it infringes on "choice", I feel about you, because you support abortion.


"Is that a threat?"

LOL Nope. Did you read what I read? I said that because of the law, I am no threat to you.

So a child is punishment in your eyes?

Who's in the dark ages?? You actually think that women are incapable of THINKING BEFORE they ACT...talk about insulting and degrading...I thought all you "pro-choice" supporters were advocates for women??? Instead you actually want us to believe they are too stupid and naive to actually make an EDUCATED decision...sigh...

Something we wish to inflict on women for sexual activity??? I would be pro abortion if sexual activity was the only thing on my mind. The dark ages were a brutal time in history. People were killed with blunt steel objects and bloody deaths were common. Humm. Sounds like an abortion. Who lives in the Dark Ages??? You are the ones killing lives in a brutal way.

No, we are the ones supporting human rights for women. Unless you also consider people that decline to donate blood, organs and tissue to be "killing lives" your emo-babble is purely hypocritical. A woman has as much right as a man to refuse the use of her body to another, even if the other will die without it. You support a stance that demands women be given fewer bodily rights than men, and fetuses be given greater rights than born people.

Declining to donate blood, is not the same as ripping a body apart. But, I know that you know that.

And yes, a woman can refuse the use of her body to another. And she achieves that by not going through the actions that create another. Look, man and woman create baby. Baby does not "infect" a mother. In this day and age, if people are not smart enough to know that, then perhaps we should prop up eugenics again. A fetus is alive and it is innocent. The mother that willingly has it killed, should be ...

Dont want baby, dont have sex. And incase you aren't familiar with biology, that is what sex is for. Not something for us to do on a Saturday night for fun. You play, you should pay.

on one hand you trying to get us to believe that most women are either too stupid or too uneducated to know what causes pregnancy and didin't choose the course of action that caused pregnancy because of this. and on the other hand you complain about being called halfwits. well what is it? are women half wits or are women cold blooded homocidal maniacs.?
