Oh well here we go again. I feel like I should just have a form response to your posts. Thanks for revising what I said...let me repeat again for your convenience. It is not a matter of opinion, it is a matter of science. The science is that the fetus is not a baby...nothing fully developed about it until the latter stages of pregnancy (i.e. when the spinal cord and brain are developed enough to show awareness and sense pain). you have been given medical fact over and over again, but you have repeatedly dismissed fact and countered with opinion from pro life sources. Try looking at a medical journal sometime. Then come back with a stance you can support.
What has this to do with the humanity of the occupant of the womb? Whether it is in an early or later stage of development, it is still a living human being. Life itself remains unchanged from the moment of conception until natural death in old age. Humans are in a constant state of physical change from conception and progress through many stages until old age. Photographs, commencing with those of in the embryonic stage of human life confirm this.
To say that any one stage is less human than another is ridiculuous and no scientific data is available which makes this claim. Your argument is based solely on the selection of an arbitrary point in human development which you claim differentiates a human being worthy of living from a human being unworthy of living. Your argument related to mental development could well be used as justification for summarily ending the lives of those, young or old, who are so unfortunate as to be mentally retarded.
Hmm, I dont even know what to say to such an absurd statement. I do know this, you are flailing and pummeling the air at this point. Though it was probably the only sign of intelligence I have seen so far in bringing the comparison with homosexuality in this.
Say what you like. The comparison is valid. Both are political decisions made without the benefit of a scientific or medical basis.
Makes it easier to demonize the opposing stance, but still just smoke and mirrors. Once again, try using some fact and logic to your argument instead of depending on bias to taint the issue to your advantage.
The fact is there. The logic is there. The truth is there. The problem with the truth, as has long been observed, is that sometimes, and this is one of those times, it is unpleasant.
The undeniable fact is that every abortion stills a beating human heart.
That you and the 1973 Supreme Court have decided to discriminate against humans based upon their age, state of development, and place of residence, does not, because it can not, change biological fact.
