I would of course feel differently if a
baby or child were killed, but not a fetus, not so long as it cannot survive outside a womb.

So all of the preemies that grew into healthy children are what to you ?

Because medical technology has increased the survivabillity of premature babies.

I've always said the point at which a fetus can live outside the womb should be the cut off for abortion, and that with modern medicine that is certainly becoming earlier, it isn't at 20 weeks though. I believe currently for a viable preemie is 24-6 weeks.

Don't try to strawman my position with your hysterical, drama queen-y ragings.

Your'e innabillity to grasp even the simplest of concepts is not the same thing as a strawman argument.

Your'e basically saying the diference between right and wrong is the current level of medical innovation as it pertains to pre-mature babies.

Science is your moral authority.

Thats twisted.

Why is that though?

LOL !!

How pathetic.

Science isn't your moral authority, mans abillity to percieve the accomishments of science is your moral authority.

And that's not a constant as youv'e clearly demonstrated.

It's pathetic becauss youv'e set your standards so low.

:2funny: Yeah, right, because setting a "standard" in stone regardless of medical or scientific advancements is... high, but only if you are referring to the high hysterics and drama queens get went they're raving about inanities.

Abortion is murder - plain and simple.

Any mother that has an abortion should be charged with first degree murder if her life is not threatened by the child or as the immoral like to call them "fetus."

Doctors who perform abortions should be charged with second degree murder for performing the procedure.

I hope to God that anyone who does have a legal abortion feels shame, guilt and depression for the rest of their lives.

Why don't you just come out and plainly state that you hate women already

I bet he doesn't hate women who "know their place". It's women having anything akin to independence or personal successes that they hate because it takes away their control of women.... Same idea as to why they don't want non-whites to have voting equality.

Anything less than on-demand abortion is unacceptable imo
