"Any moron can see that abortion is murder"
Steen, you have to give her this as basically true. Any moron can see it. Reasoning people, on the other hand...

"The point of viability constantly keeps changing because of technology,"
"In the last three decades, viability has been reduced from 30 weeks to less than 20 weeks of development."
The point of viability doesn't change, the point at which we are able to artificially sustain life changes.

"We are not even a Christian nation anymore. We used to be but we are not today."
This country was never a Christian nation. All you need to do is look at the Constitution to see that. There is no mention of God or Christ. The only mention of religion is the guarantee of the Freedom of Religion, which goes directly against the 1st Commandment.

"And those conceived by humans are humans. They are persons."
Not exactly. A fetus isn't a person. There is nothing that can be recognized as a person until after birth.
doughgirl said:
"Yet in many big hig profile cases in the land, the courts say the unborn is a child and refers to them as such."
Honestly, I can't speak to this. I don't generally read what the courts say, I generally read synopses of cases that interest me.
doughgirl said:
"Now viability continues to be pushed further and further back in the pregnancy and is now as early as nineteen weeks"
Doing some research, I found several sites the said that this isn't true. One cites a form from a medical center (although, they don't say which one): "Nationwide, most 22 week babies are given hospice care. Very few 22 week babies have survived. Our estimate of the chance of a 22 week baby surviving with intensive care, 10%, really is just an estimate, because we have not yet succeeded in sending a 22 week baby home alive here despite several attempts."

Again, a fetus is not a person. There is no person until after birth.

"Saying your pro-abortion speaks for itself. And those who hide behind the label pro-choice.......jsut cant come to terms with what abortion really is. "
I don't know if I could call this untruthful, unless it was presented as fact rather than opinion.
doughgirl said:
"To be pro-choice about abortion is to be pro-abortion."
Patently untrue. I'm pro-choice, but I don't think that abortion is something to which women should aspire. To be pro-choice is simply that, I think that the choice should be there.
doughgirl said:
"Both are willing for children to die by abortion and must take responsibility for the killing of those babies "
"When a woman decides to have an abortion she decides to end the life of her child, the child she carries inside her body"
Without context, I can't really speak to these points, either.
doughgirl said:
"The dismemberment of a living child is much different than the amputation of a leg, however gruesome. But then I keep forgetting you think the unborn is nothing."
Nobody here is talking about a child, the discussion is about abortion of a fetus. So, that seems to be, at the very least, disingenuous.
doughgirl said:
"Over the past few decades many laws have been enacted specifically aimed towards the unborn. (Those you say are not human)"
What are some of these laws? If there are many, then you should have an easy time supplying 5 or 6.
doughgirl said:
"Viability is now considered at about 20 weeks after conception."
I'll refer back to the point about 22 week prematurely bon baby.

These are YOUR OPINIONS. WHERE ARE THE FACTS THE EVIDENCE that they are wrong? You rarely ever site any source. In fact you site none in your discussions. You provide nothing and you know it. Every one of these are your opinion. I site Guttmaucher, BArna..........you site NOTHING.
There you go, several facts. And a few opinions.
Unless you did it elsewhere, you didn't cite Guttmacher, you mentioned it. And, as for Barna, I would be very reluctant to accept it as an impartial source. I find it difficult to accept a group whose vision is: "To provide leadership and unique, strategic information and resources that help facilitate spiritual transformation in America."

Steen that quote was from a gallop poll, it was nothing I made up. You want people to believe that that is what I think.........
Which Gallup poll?
doughgirl said:
You are a liar, and you left off that this quote was from a gallop poll it was not MY STATEMENT......your a monster.......and I think people are aware of that.
From what I've seen, Steen tends to be rational, and you tend to be overly emotional, bordering on hysterical.
