Well, you should have not started it at all, because abortion is a very emotional issue for most people. Threads about abortion never accomplish anything, nobody changes their mind, and usually, especially if there is very little to no moderation, these things only tend to devolve into shouting matches which amount to nothing more that "you must agree with me and believe the same way I do!" "No, you must agree with me and believe the same way I do because i'm right and you're wrong" and of course "U", "No, u" crap.

I love how you trying to make this into Science and and Religion, that way you can add the religions bad reputation with pro-life.
The truth is Science does not agree with either sides of abortion. So Stop picking the science that supports your side, there are science to prove that fetus is alive with brain activity.
Science supports and disagrees with both sides.
before you label me, ill label myself... An Atheist Microbiologist!
By the implications of this statement, then a fetus is not a human until it is a full collection of human cells?
Is there a target number of cells you have in mind so that we can all sit back and breathe a little better knowing this endless brain-fuddle of an argument has settled? If so, pick it and we can choose to agree or disagree. But this level of opportunistic ambiguity is pointless. It smacks of argument for the sake of argument.
Is a blossom from a fruit tree a tree? Or, is it a tree after it's been pollinated by a bee?
If a tree drops a seed, is that seed a tree? Is it a tree when it starts to take in nutrients from ground, or when it sprouts a root stem. Or, is it a tree when the first green leaf pops up?
Let's put it this way. Is a blossom from a fruit tree a tree? Or, is it a tree after it's been pollinated by a bee? If a tree drops a seed, is that seed a tree? Is it a tree when it starts to take in nutrients from ground, or when it sprouts a root stem. Or, is it a tree when the first green leaf pops up?

I was one of those parasites that tried but failed to hijack my mother's immune system. She's RH-negative I'm positive. No shots back then. If I could've lived apart from my mom the docs would've delivered me asap. My mom had previously miscarried at 5 months. Doctors knew I could die at anytime before birth yet I couldn't live without her.
I was dehumanized a bit so it wouldn't be so hard on my mom if she lost me. The antibodies had so viciously attacked her previous pregnancy it seemed only logical to prepare her for the worst. I understand and it's ok. I don't think I was ever actually called a parasite though. I was told I was seen as a foreign object that her body wanted to kill. Same thing I guess.
I'm one of the few people who wants the abortion debate to be free from religious myths, forever.

Well, I have seen this perspective before, many times. It's not a new idea, I'm sorry to say. Some people are just more eloquent about it than others.
I'm sorry for crapping on your thread, but that's what my experience has been in all the years I've had discussing this issue on the internet.

I do care about life, i think abortion as a birth control is disgusting, i'm not gonna say im 100% pro-life because of the fact, a
i was mainly referring to consensual sex, if you read my post, i mentioned that world a lot. Abortion from consensual sex is disgusting because you don't feel like it. If you shoot someone in the head, they are going to die. you can't be like "i want to shoot him but i don;t want him to die", Sex was for procreation before its a hobby.
Rape and incest is the same as pedophilia in my book.
it was Her body before pregnancy, now what ever is inside is caused by the man and her, and the man have no say? what if he was from rich background and keep the baby? i mean you had sex? sex is mainly for procreation. if you do not want babies, get it tied or have the guy you like to sleep with vasectomy.
No need to sacrifice potential lives for you enjoyment.
I'm sorry, nature is not controlled by me. You are calling something that is natural and calling it inconvenience because of the modern standards.
I just don;t want to hear excuses from abortionist... just say your are killing a potential living being that is more than a lump of cells and i'm happy. You can go ahead and do you abortions and i wont interfere. Just don't do it in denial calling it a parasite.edit on 8/24/2012 by luciddream because: (no reason given)

The dehumanizing came from the doctors/family who were trying to prepare my mom. A harsh dose of reproductive reality for a mom but I wasn't traumatized by it one bit. I have no memory of being that trouble making parasite.

There is a reason biology differentiates between plant life and animal life.
Men have rights.
Women have rights.
Blacks have rights.
Asians have rights.
Hispanics have rights.
Gays have rights.
Transgender people have rights.Christians have rights.
Islamists have rights.
Hebraic followers have rights.
Animals have rights. (Very little if any - animals are treated legally like property, slaves, things)
Unborn children do not. - Beezzer
