I would like to respond to the idea that a 2 day old fertilized egg will become a human being. That's not true. That the egg will develop normal and eventually become a human being isn't a certainty, only a possibility.
One third of all pregnancies end in miscarriages. When abortion is banned, women who miscarry become suspects.
Okay, you responded. Congratulations. It was stupid and uninformed. Congratulations again.
Moving on . . .
No it was a fully informed and factual response. Which is why you hate it and chose to insult me instead.
Coming from you, this means absolutely nothing. And I didn't insult you. I insulted your response. And that was only because stating the truth about it required derogation.
But since you really, REALLY enjoy abuse, let me break down your stupidity for you.
1) The vast majority of those miscarriages you mention happen without anyone even knowing the pregnancy existed, including the mother herself.
2) In the case of most of the others, the cause of the miscarriage is generally obvious to medical personnel.
3) Despite your paranoid persecution fantasies, no one sane is suggesting criminalizing mothers.
Your refusal to accept that a fetus is not a life but rather the possibility of life is at the root of your delusions.
Again, coming from you, this is meaningless. Your position and arguments are based on appeals to emotion and made-up nonsensical concepts like "personhood" and "potential life", and I'M the delusional one? If that's true, how come I'M the one basing my arguments on science?
From a religious standpoint, if God had intended every fetus to be sacred and to result in a new life, women wouldn't have the ability to miscarry, to expel those attempts which go awry. The fetus wouldn't die, or fail to develop properly. They wouldn't be so very vulnerable.
Like I said, Chuckles, if you're the hard-nosed realist here, how come YOU'RE the one bringing religion into it?
And by the way, what does the fact that people die have to do with whether or not it's acceptable to kill them? I keep asking, and I haven't gotten an answer yet. You lefties LOVE to trot this bullshit line out, and when you get asked to follow it logically, you run like a bunch of scalded cur dogs.
Women have the ability to miscarry for good and valid reasons, one of which is, not every fetus has the ability to become a new life.
See above re: just because people die doesn't make it okay to kill them. People get hit by lightning, but that doesn't mean you should electrocute them.
And your refusal to want to provide or even mention the supports women receive from the state to carry their child to term and to care for them once they are born in other first world countries, speaks volumes.
Yup, and what it's saying in all those volumes is "Not interested in you shoehorning a stump speech for your liberal entitlement spending into a question of morality." Your demands for women to be bribed into doing the right thing engender nothing but contempt in me, and not even really the desire to express that contempt beyond simply ignoring them.
Where is your concern for the children once they are outside the womb. Conservatives only care about the unborn. The living breathing children of the poor are a problem you refuse to address.
That's called hypocrisy.
If you can prove that I have no concern for born children, or that I'm a hypocrite, I invite you to do so. I have no intention of justifying myself to you based on your assumptions and projections. Unlike you, I don't treat fantasies as concrete reality.
