I guess thats the problem then.
You believe we are on equal plains with animals.
I set us up on a little higher pole.

Aborting is responsible? Never ever will it be responsible. Ever.
Its as unresponsible as one can get.


Who made me the arbiter of those worthy of death?
Who made you or pro abortionists? You think its ok to kill an innocent human. I think its ok to kill a criminal who has murdered.

Just a little different. No?

I think humans are aliens. We're a virus on the .earth. Raping the seas, pillaging the forests, arrogant in our beliefs that we are really somethin' special. If we were this amazing, intelligent creature "higher" than animals in the arrogance totem pole, then we wouldn't be destroying the only environment we live in.

No. We're animals. We are mammals. We lactate to feed our young and give birth viviparously. We happen to have the mental capacity to be aware of all this, but it doesn't make us any more or any less of an animal.

Now now, some human cultures lived peacefully with the land and respected nature...

Thats how one dehumanizes us. By saying we are the infection.
Its easy to agree with abortion then. "Hey thats one less human to rape the planet". It WILL lead to other things though. Euthanasia possibly.
As someone who loves history, thats exactly what occured in Nazi Germany. Through the twenty's and into the thirties leading upto WWII, Hitler and his henchmen strategically put the Jews down. Telling the people they werent human and actually a subspecies. Over the years the people of Germany believed them. Brainwashing? A little. But more so of them convincing themselves that the Jews were animals. Lower than animals. Performing unbelievable medical experiments. Not saying that this will happen. But history can repeat itself. Hitler was very big on euthanasia. Started out with mentally retarded and eventually led to elderly and the insane and so-on.
One wrong WILL beget another if left to itself. It will be accepted. Just like abortion. Advocates say its a blob. That it Cant think or reason. But it is medically and scientiffically an individual(which rules out the choice argument).

Guys and gals no matter how you spin it, Medically, scientifically, or religously speaking; abortion is wrong.

I'm for euthanazia. If a terminal cancer patient is going to die, I say he or she has the right to pull the plug. If an old person is in very bad condition, I say they have the right to pull the plug. My own great grandmother starved herself to death on purpose because doctors wouldn't let her die any other way. Can you imagine the will power needed to starve yourself to death? Can you imagine the horror I had to go through as a eight year old watching my "super-gram" shrivel away? She hated life. There was a more dignified way to go: euthanasia.

Exterminating and entire race of people is very different from choosing your own personal death when faced with a terminal condition. The jews, the gays, the gypsies, none of them got a choice. True euthanasia is a choice, and it's sickening and degrading to everyone who suffered in the holocaust that you dare compare the two.

It is neither medically nor scientifically an individual. It is a developing animal (no, it isn't an animal yet. Not an animal, not a person) that is completely, 100%, irrevocably dependent on the host - I mean, the mother's body.

It cannot think, it cannot reason at the stages when most abortions are performed. Later on in pregnancy, sure, it might be able to. But that's not when most women abort. At the time when most abortions occur, the embryo or fetus cannot even feel pain. It's like a worm or a bug. Those animals are fully developed but they can't feel pain either. Their nervous systems aren't developed enough. They have flight or fight responses, as seen when you cut a worm on half, and when the embryo or fetus is prodded. But this is not a pain response. It's an animal instinct. But wait!!! Humans aren't animals!! We can't possibly have animal instincts!!!

I'm sorry, but prenatal science proves you wrong at every turn.

I didn't say we are on "equal plains" with animals, I simply posted the fact that we are animals.

You can set us up higher on the pole all you want. The fact remains that we are still animals regardless of where ever your opinion and esteem place us. The fact is that we are animals, the opinion is that we are somehow worth more or special.

.tomato, tomahto. Opinion. I leave it to the .woman to decide which course of action would be the most responsible for her situation.

Fallacy. You presuppose in your premise and in your conclusion that which you have not proven. We call this begging the question, specifically circular reasoning fallacy. Namely that a fetus is a human person comparable to a convicted felon, or myself, or yourself.

I can end my pregnancies as I so choose because they are all dependent upon my body and my body alone. A convicted felon is not dependent upon anyone's body. The dependency of the fetus makes it an expendable part of the .woman's anatomy if she decides she does not want to donate to it any longer, much like a cancer, mole, or her hair. The convicted felon is an independent, live, sentient, human person whose rights have been removed through due process. The fetus does not have rights to begin with again due to its nature and relationship to the .woman and thus, due process is not needed to end the pregnancy.

You presuppose and hold as fact that fetus = human person and yet have not proven your assertion. As such, it is simply an opinion.

Quote:

Not in the way you assume or believe but yes, they are different because one is dependent on the .woman's body and the other is not. The monikers of "innocent" and "guilty" are smokescreens and irrelevant to the topic at hand.

That isn't the problem. No one said we were equals with animals. We are superior to animals in many ways, that is obvious. We are mammals though. And killing is still killing. It isn't up to you whether or not one is just as bad as the other.

Not really. But if you think so, use some logic and reason while stating that.

Slippery slope fallacy.

Fallacy. That wasn't euthanasia at all. It was extermination. In legal euthenasia, the patient has a choice.
Quote:

Fallacy, slippery slope. If you make an assertion like this you have to show how it will happen, step by step. Otherwise you are simply sliding down that slippery slope with no evidence that it actually will occur at all. The same thing happens with some so-called "pro-family" groups who claim that two homosexual's being able to marry will somehow allow Bubba to marry his prize milk cow Bessie. In reality, it's a slippery slope fallacy perpetrated to make people afraid that the world will end shortly after taking that first step. However, nothing could be further from the truth.
Quote:
It will be accepted.
Because you say so?
Quote:

A blastocyst is a blob, a blob of cells. You can look it up and see for yourself.
Quote:
That it Cant think or reason.
A fetus can't think or reason, not for a very long time into the pregnancy when abortions are generally outlawed but to save the health or life of the .woman.
Quote:

No, it is medically and scientifically dependent upon the .woman's body. The symbiotic relationship is actually what makes choice possible and very relavent.

A woman who realizes she 'made a mistake' has no one to blame but herself then. She made the decision. No one put a gun to her head and made her sign any consent forms.

Fetuses need water? Funny, I never knew that. It's a wonder how they've been surviving gestation without it for ages.

Um,

Have you ever once seen any one of us claim that the embryo/fetus is not alive?

You haven't seen us claim that, because its not true. So before you go flying off the handle, realize one important thing: Pro-choice is aware that the zef is "alive". How can it not be? An egg is alive and a sperm is alive. Two living things doesn't equal something dead.

However, pro-choice is capable of realizing when someone's life is worth more than another's.

Just as I don't think humans are above animals... Do you think your life is worth more than a cow's? I bet you do, especially if you're not vegetarian. But, you still know "I need food to eat. I cn kill a cow, or starve". I'm simplifying. Let's pretend you're alone in the wild. Fish, which you can catch, make a good meal. Is their life worth more than yours? That argument goes for every single carnivore and omnivore (that's the kind of animal humans are) in the world.

Moving on, most women don't regret their abortions.

to grow a fetus needs water and nutrients
duh
thats how babies form.
abortions on some states could be done up to 13 weeks of pregnancy. do you know by 13 weeks a fetus actually LOOKS like a formed baby?
a woman whos made a mistake shouldnt beat herself up over it for the rest of her life
i think its a choice that parenst have to make :keep it or not
its no ones decition but theres
and everyone has their own opinions
it will always be an ongoing thing and never end with one agreement
like polotics
that what abortion is is politics
