There is no proof that you would accept that a fetus is a child. Narg Send a noteboard - 26/10/2012 11:31:50 PM
You know full well that there is no scientific proof that could convince you. We already know what is going inside the growing embryo, that it is genetically human and on its path to mature adulthood then death. That course has already been set. It has no more of a say about its survival than a 1 month old or even a 6 month old, both of which are every bit as dependent on another human for life as the fetus is, and both of which we regard as "beings".

The only proof you could be talking about is scripture/revelation of God's will. And I doubt you want to base a law on scripture, after all how dare you force your religious beliefs on somebody else. You won't accept what the church father's have said, though you no doubt accept the creeds. What could change your mind?
A little learning is a dangerous thing.

Do you really think God would condone abortion? *NM* - 26/10/2012 03:28:25 PM 356 Views
Depends on when a fetus is a being, which the GOP contends is "at the moment of fertilization." - 26/10/2012 03:57:44 PM 551 Views

Condemn women to die? What a strange way to look at this. - 26/10/2012 07:17:16 PM 637 Views
women *did* die before abortion was legalized, there should be no dispute of this aspect - 26/10/2012 07:27:28 PM 643 Views
Very good point, but that was not (at least soley) what I meant, no. - 26/10/2012 11:12:32 PM 564 Views
If something should be illegal in its own right, it is nonsense to legalize it because criminals - 26/10/2012 11:40:41 PM 586 Views
