Leftists have no heart.
All they want is your money and freedom.
We have to try and reach Leftists somehow.
Picture book arguments are definitely your speed.
Really? Because it seems like you were all patting yourselves on the back because of the Bingo logic expressed in a meme.We have to try and reach Leftists somehow.

Well first there is no heatbeat in the first six weeks mainly because there is no heart. There is part of the structure that will eventually become the heart but at six weeks it's just a tube sending out electrical pulses rather than an organ with four chambers pumping blood to various parts of the body. Secondly I'm not sure why the electrical pulsing matters, I'm more than willing to concede that human life begins at conception. What we don't agree on is when that life is deserving of legal protections as an individual. As for bacteria on Mars I'd just point out that human life isn't the only type of life there is. The cells in your body are also alive.Feel free to use Bingo logic to respond
Or just mutter incoherently like Fetterman or Biden.
Your options are endless really.
Ok, what kind of heart does bacteria have?Well first there is no heatbeat in the first six weeks mainly because there is no heart.

Are you assuming bacteria have hearts? Why exactly are you assuming that?Ok, what kind of heart does bacteria have?
If they did, would it matter to you?Are you assuming bacteria have hearts? Why exactly are you assuming that?
If they found life on Mars, whatever the form it took, yea that would be interesting to me. Are you done trying to argue the brilliance of that Bingo meme?If they did, would it matter to you?
Just curious.
Would it then be deserving of legal protections?If they found life on Mars, whatever the form it took, yea that would be interesting to me. Are you done trying to argue the brilliance of that Bingo meme?
Of course not. It will have no rights. Any bacteria we find on Mars will be quarantined, brought back in captivity and experimented on without end.Would it then be deserving of legal protections?
Then address that rather than bringing up these other Bingo arguments and just making yourself look foolish.That is the whole argument you are using to morally justify ending life you desire to end.
No and we don't have to go all the way to Mars either, plenty of lifeforms on earth have heartbeats and I have no problem eating them as food.Would a heart beat matter to you?
Independently viable sapient life.In other words, what quality of life deserves legal protections?
So animals have no rights?Of course not. It will have no rights. Any bacteria we find on Mars will be quarantined, brought back in captivity and experimented on without end.

Anything can have legal rights so long as enough voters and/or political leaders feel they should. The question is why should they.So animals have no rights?
Which is just an amalgamation of popular opinion, not a rational explanation.Under the current law they do.
I don't live my life in fear of PETA. What we consider abuse is in many ways subjective. Is abuse only acts similar to someone kicking a puppy? How about keeping dairy cows in tight pens for their entire lives while we forcefully impregnate them to keep them producing milk? Is that abuse? It's legal Isn't it?You can go to jail for abusing animals ya know, or should it be legal to be able to torture animals?
Just remember, PETA is watching you.
You did not answer the question. Should animals have rights under the law?Anything can have legal rights so long as enough voters and/or political leaders feel they should. The question is why should they.

Sure. I'm okay with some rights for animals but this is only evidence of the subjective nature of laws not the efficacy or rationality of them.You did not answer the question. Should animals have rights under the law?
Yes or no?
I'm suggesting that human life while it is gestating inside another and not yet viable on its own shouldn't have the same rights (if any) as someone who does have a viable, independent life.You seem to be bordering on the opinion that maybe people should not have rights.
