Can pro life defend their position

You're the one making assertions of value and arguing it! So the burden is on you to explain your position! Why should we or anyone else define it when no one else is making such claims of value nor basing their arguments on it? Clearly you're just making an attempt at another cowardly deflection!

See previous statement!

Let's do a count then! I'll bet we;ve answered more of your questions than you have answered ours. You still haven't answered the initial question of what is the value of life, in this and in other similar threads. Neither have you explained what biology has to do with abortion. All you offfer is cowardice when challenged on it!

Yet you cannot explain your position in the least!

You still haven't explained how that is relevant!

In other words, you have nothing! Got it!

You still haven't explained why!

Because I made no such assertion or argument regarding value or biology that requires explaining to begin with! Meanwhile, you have repeatedly and you have cowardly dodged challenges repeatedly!

but you don't have to explain anything

aint that something? No Gordy, you don't get to play that game with me. You want to tell everyone why you don't value human life? do it - I double dog dare you to do the very thing you demand of me

but you're not going to, and you and I both know it
 
What?
At conception the woman has begun her pregnancy voyage.
how do you define "conception" ?

It's called logic and reasoning. The law - in your silly hypothetical - is uselessly redundant.

so laws/legal doesn't matter ? I need to know if what legal/lawful has any impact on what you think is right/wrong relative to having an unborn baby killed please
 
but you don't have to explain anything

but you're not going to, and you and I both know it
I explained why abortion should not be restricted in the least. Thats the argument i made. You haven't explained the value of life or what biology has to do with abortion, which is the argumentyou made. Instead, you try to weasel out of explaining yourself and your assertions when challenged, which you are doing right now again, and which is both cowardly and dishonest. It's hilarious how you need to try to obviously bait someone into making your argument for you, since yours is so weak and pitiful that you can't even make or explain it yourself!
So, what is the value of human life? What does biology have to do with abortion? Both are your arguments! Go ahead and answer! I triple dog dare you! But I know you'll resort to your typical cowardly deflections and disingenuously try to turn the argument around since your merely talking a BS failed argument which you can't even make!
 
so laws/legal doesn't matter ? I need to know if what legal/lawful has any impact on what you think is right/wrong relative to having an unborn baby killed please
Explain what's wrong with it and wrong according to whom or what authority!
 
I explained why abortion should not be restricted in the least.
I don't remember that? it has nothing to do with legal/laws ... I've already proven that's irrelevant

That's it then ? Human life has no value to you thus abortion should be ok ?

that's your explanation ?
 
Explain what's wrong with it and wrong according to whom or what authority!

its killing an innocent human life - that's wrong

we don't allow killing children because they're poor, infants because they get in the way, newborns because they are costing money .......... we don't allow any of that because its wrong .. if an unborn child is irrelevant, why do we force insurances to pay for the unborn's healthcare? why do we have laws protecting that unborn baby from harm? why hold the father accountable for the unborn?

your questions seem to be serious deep soul searching - questions you are unable to answer but demand others do
 
I don't remember that? it has nothing to do with legal/laws ... I've already proven that's irrelevant


He has, dont lie. And if you cant look up conception or didnt learn it in grammar school, who's fault is that? Are you assuming he's inventing some odd counter-definition?

That's it then ? Human life has no value to you thus abortion should be ok ?

that's your explanation ?

More questions and poor assumptions and you refuse to answer it yourself...and he asked you first. "What's your explanation" for your failure?
 
its killing an innocent human life - that's wrong

An unborn human life? Who says? It's not like the unborn is the only one affected, so...who says? What is the woman guilty of?

we don't allow killing children because they're poor, infants because they get in the way, newborns because they are costing money .......... we don't allow any of that because its wrong .. if an unborn child is irrelevant, why do we force insurances to pay for the unborn's healthcare? why do we have laws protecting that unborn baby from harm? why hold the father accountable for the unborn?

your questions seem to be serious deep soul searching - questions you are unable to answer but demand others do

Once again, children can be taken care of by anyone else...costs laid on others, removed from abuse, etc....including the state and do not endanger or harm anyone else by their very existence inside that someone.

So once again, your attempt at an analogy fails.

and I asked you
and I asked him

and both of you deny to answer ......... its almost like you don't like the question because you cannot answer or ... you're afraid to make it know your real feelings maybe?

I mean how easy for both ya'll to answer "why is life valuable" and my, it would make me look really stupid because I was the only one not answering huh ?

but you won't, and Gordy won't ... and I'm right, aren't I ?

Um...that ⬆️ all applies to you right now and has for many many pages.

(I have answered what asked you, many times. I have provided detailed arguments both legal and moral. You have not. Saying something is wrong is a statement, not an argument.)
 
An unborn human life? Who says? It's not like the unborn is the only one affected, so...who says?
we have many laws protecting the unborn - you know that

not if laws doesn't matter to you, that's fine .... does religion matter to you? basic human morals/ethics? I mean if none of that is relevant in your world then nothing will ever be good enough to use to define a value of life for you or Gordy

Once again, children can be taken care of by anyone else...costs laid on others, removed from abuse, etc....including the state and do not endanger or harm anyone else by their very existence inside that someone.

So once again, your attempt at an analogy fails.

OMG you'd place the burden on OTHER PEOPLE - how awful. All of the reasons to kill an innocent life just gets shifted to someone else.

But a woman simply goes through 9 months of pregnancy and gives the baby up and you're right - someone else can take care of it. Done. Lets do that, I agree

1 minute after birth baby is the same as 1 minute before
1 minute before is same as 1 day before
1 day before is same living unborn at 2 days before

keep going .... its the same living unborn and abortion kills it

why should we allow abortion again ? same living human life .....

no you have not and neither has Gordy, not that I ever remember

never once have ya'll defined the value of life - c'mon, stop playing those games

More questions? How silly of you...and I've presented my moral arguments to you...if you disregarded them why should I repost them? Where is your moral argument? Beyond an unsupported statement?

OMG you'd place the burden on OTHER PEOPLE - how awful. All of the reasons to kill an innocent life just gets shifted to someone else.

That's 100% wrong. You OTOH, just declared the children as burdens on society. Me: I recognize that abortion helps reduce that. You are very confused.

The bold is complete bullshit. That 9 months is what pro-choice people are talking about. That 9 months is pain and suffering for every single pregnant woman and it's only worth it if you want a kid. It can kill, it can permanently destroy physical systems, cause permanent disability, it can cause loss of a job and income to survive or help fulfill responsibilities to others than can never be replaced. It can cause the loss of higher education and a person's right to consent to their own self-determination and future.

And it cant be predicted and many times it cannot be prevented. The govt cannot protect women's lives and health and under the COnst...the govt is obligated to do so. Many on the right complain that many of society's ills are the fault of single mothers, but those stupid hypocrites on the right dont even realize that their pro-life stance would/is creating MORE single mothers. (see any thread on crime or guns for confirmation)

Why should women that dont want/cant afford kids be forced to remain pregnant and denied abortions? Who says abortion is wrong? Where is your argument?
 
no you have not and neither has Gordy, not that I ever remember

never once have ya'll defined the value of life - c'mon, stop playing those games

Your memory is exceedingly poor then. Or you are lying out of convenience.

And Gordy asked you first so feel free to provide the 'value of life.'
 
I don't remember that?
How convenient for you.
it has nothing to do with legal/laws ... I've already proven that's irrelevant
Where? Cite your post! And yes, I used law to argue that position.
That's it then ? Human life has no value to you thus abortion should be ok ?

that's your explanation ?
Still waiting on that explanation of the "value" of human life! Until you provide that, any assertion of value is meaningless!
its killing an innocent human life - that's wrong
Says who? By what authority? Innocent of what exactly? Has it been charged with a crime or something? I could easily argue more effectively that it is "guilty" rather than make some empty declaration.
we don't allow killing children because they're poor, infants because they get in the way, newborns because they are costing money .......... we don't allow any of that because its wrong ..
They're born individuals with established constitutional rights and recognition as persons. THe unborn are not. And yes, kids are expensive. Abortion is way cheaper.
if an unborn child is irrelevant, why do we force insurances to pay for the unborn's healthcare?
The care is also for the pregnant woman. What happens to the gestational parasite also affects her health.
why do we have laws protecting that unborn baby from harm? why hold the father accountable for the unborn?
We shouldn't. I disagree with those laws.
your questions seem to be serious deep soul searching - questions you are unable to answer but demand others do
No, my questions are simple and a direct response to your assertions. Your deflection and inability to answer them is noted.
not if laws doesn't matter to you, that's fine .... does religion matter to you? basic human morals/ethics? I mean if none of that is relevant in your world then nothing will ever be good enough to use to define a value of life for you or Gordy
How do you define or explain value? By what measurement? You have never explaned the "value of life." What is this "value? Asked again for the umpteenth time.
OMG you'd place the burden on OTHER PEOPLE - how awful. All of the reasons to kill an innocent life just gets shifted to someone else.
So you admit neonates and children are a burden? That's the one thing you said that is true. They are a burden, on both the parent/s and possibly society. That is undeniable. It is also true that abortion is much cheaper, both in the short and long term.
But a woman simply goes through 9 months of pregnancy and gives the baby up and you're right - someone else can take care of it. Done. Lets do that, I agree
That is entirely her choice to make. She does not have to have her body used for gestation against her will.
1 minute after birth baby is the same as 1 minute before
False!
1 minute before is same as 1 day before
False!
1 day before is same living unborn at 2 days before
False!
keep going .... its the same living unborn and abortion kills it
So what?
why should we allow abortion again ? same living human life .....
Same flawed argument.
no you have not and neither has Gordy, not that I ever remember

never once have ya'll defined the value of life - c'mon, stop playing those games
Explain why we should define the value of life for you when is it neither our assertion or argument? It's yours! It's like you need us to make your argument for you because you are clearly incapable of doing it yourself! This continous dancing around that fact and posed questions to your assertions only shows it is you playing games! You're fooling no one here!
 
but you don't have to explain anything

aint that something? No Gordy, you don't get to play that game with me. You want to tell everyone why you don't value human life? do it - I double dog dare you to do the very thing you demand of me

but you're not going to, and you and I both know it
I can't speak for them though, If indeed Gordy, Lursa or I personally hold value for the unborn.... it's irrelevant. The issue is the relative value a pregnant woman holds in relation to her choice to abort is the issue at hand. My value, your value nor anyone else's cannot be forced onto the fetus inside of her.

Whoa skippy.
You are the one that brought up value of life as your argument..

It’s YOUR responsibility to explain and defend your premise.

So explain what the value is of a one day old baby.

Again :
So explain why a day old baby is valuable.
Explain its value.
 
That's 100% wrong. You OTOH, just declared the children as burdens on society. Me: I recognize that abortion helps reduce that. You are very confused.

that was echoing your opinion and Gordy's, never mine (context matters)

And it cant be predicted and many times it cannot be prevented.

you'd think because of that, people would be really careful when they have sex
 
Your memory is exceedingly poor then. Or you are lying out of convenience.

And Gordy asked you first so feel free to provide the 'value of life.'

I think you're right - though he'll say over and over I brought it up first. Its as if he doesn't know what the value of life is.

so is that where we're at? the burden on debatepolitics.com is on me, solely on me, to prove a value of life and if I don't that justifies killing anyone at any time if they're in the way, an inconvenience, etc is what pro-abortion seems to be saying. remember - I've already proven legal/laws don't matter - so what DOES matter is the question and pro-abortion people can answer that too

Gordy won't say, pro-abortion people won't say .... that's fascinating
 
Where? Cite your post! And yes, I used law to argue that position.
when you said if abortion was banned tomorrow you'd not change your views to follow legal/lawful. If that's true then its also not why you are pro-abortion today

if legal/lawful is WHY you are pro-abortion then if the laws changed, so would your view. Did you not say you'd not change ?


They're born individuals with established constitutional rights and recognition as persons. THe unborn are not. And yes, kids are expensive. Abortion is way cheaper.
so if the laws changed that unborns were granted the same - you'd change to ?

The care is also for the pregnant woman. What happens to the gestational parasite also affects her health.
every woman on here who's had children should be highly offended you'd say that - its a horrible thing to say IMO

Explain why we should define the value of life for you when is it neither our assertion or argument? It's yours! It's like you need us to make your argument for you because you are clearly incapable of doing it yourself! This continous dancing around that fact and posed questions to your assertions only shows it is you playing games! You're fooling no one here!

no

you demand such a thing from me? you go first
 
Whoa skippy.

It’s YOUR responsibility to explain and defend your premise.

So explain what the value is of a one day old baby.

Again :

Explain its value.

this goes back many many threads - "value of life" is demanded by Gordy

not me
 
when you said if abortion was banned tomorrow you'd not change your views to follow legal/lawful.
Specify where i ever said that!
If that's true then its also not why you are pro-abortion today
What's "pro-abortion?" THat's another question I asked which you avoided.
if legal/lawful is WHY you are pro-abortion then if the laws changed, so would your view. Did you not say you'd not change ?
No, I did not say. I use the law to argue my position, as the law somewhat agrees with it. But it is not the only basis of my argument.
so if the laws changed that unborns were granted the same - you'd change to ?
More 'what-ifs?' Is that the best you can do?
every woman on here who's had children should be highly offended you'd say that - its a horrible thing to say IMO
Your feelings mean nothing to me!
no

you demand such a thing from me? you go first
As I suspected, you have nothing to explain. Just typical cowardly deflections and BS!
this goes back many many threads - "value of life" is demanded by Gordy

not me
"Value of life" is asserted by you.

Not Gordy!

What is the "value of life?"
that was echoing your opinion and Gordy's, never mine (context matters)
It's more fact than opinion.
you'd think because of that, people would be really careful when they have sex
When they're not, or when protection fails, abortion fixes that. After al, pencils have erasers to fix mistakes.
I think you're right - though he'll say over and over I brought it up first. Its as if he doesn't know what the value of life is.
You did bring it up first. It's the basis of your entire argument and a point you repeat ad nauseum. Yet you never explained what this "value of life" is.
so is that where we're at? the burden on debatepolitics.com is on me, solely on me, to prove a value of life and if I don't that justifies killing anyone at any time if they're in the way, an inconvenience, etc is what pro-abortion seems to be saying. remember - I've already proven legal/laws don't matter - so what DOES matter is the question and pro-abortion people can answer that too

Gordy won't say, pro-abortion people won't say .... that's fascinating
You made the assertion of value. So yes, the burden is on you to explain yourself or articulate your position. The fact yo avoid doing that and try to get others to explain your argument for you only shows how weak your position truly is and how you lack any real credibility here.

Yes it's on you...so why wont you answer it?
 
Yes it's on you...so why wont you answer it?
I'd say because all his talk about "value of life" is nothing more than sanctimonious BS. If he really believed the tripe he spews, he would explain it or defend his assertion. But as we've seen repeatedly, it's just cowardly deflections when pressed.
