It seems you've never even once attended the clinics. You get far more information on non-abortion options than information on (for) abortions. ... Abortion is always treated as a last resort when recieving counseling. Does this mean every woman p...  [Read More]

There isn't an exact TIME-table because development occurs at varying speeds. However, as I said in my last post, you CAN test for neurological activity, and that is the basis. Absolutely, I'm very against killing people.Would you, then, agree that a...  [Read More]

I chose all my examples (guns, smoking, alcohol) as things that can cause harm and/or kill to the self or others, even when used correctly, yet are still legal in this country at the moment.Guns can be used legally - correctly - without causing harm...  [Read More]

So there's an example of something I'm morally opposed to, that I don't think the government should get into the business of regulating out of all existence.I agree with you on that one. Also: I don't smoke. I think it's a filthy habit. Does that me...  [Read More]

Sorry about being late, but I had midterms this week and needed to study (and get some much needed sleep :p). All over now. :) So if anything I choose to post here is ever really taken seriously, and succeeds in altering anyone's views on ANYTHING I...  [Read More]

You can't have an exact time table, but it IS possible to test a fetus for brain activity, and if that's there, then it's clearly too late into term for an abortion, barring extreme physical danger to the mother. Why can't you have a timetable if it'...  [Read More]

I have never, ever, ever ever ever ever ever ever ever insinuated that people get their personality from a soul. I don't believe in souls, so it would be hard for me to use that as a basis for an argument. You've merely taken my argument repeatedly o...  [Read More]

No he isn't equivalent, because despite being in a coma, or being unconcious, a fully grown human always has brain activity. Once a fully grown human stops having any brain activity, they are declared brain-dead, and at that point I believe they shou...  [Read More]

The wording of your post seems to imply that you are unable to distinguish between a baby and a fetus.Yes, I meant fetus instead of baby in that sentence, but you probably inferred that anyway. I find it interesting how you make a point about semanti...  [Read More]

Way to take that completely out of context and make a foolish statement. An unconcious man still has a concious self, because they still have the cognitive capacity for concious thought. An embryo doesn't have a brain atall, there is no capability fo...  [Read More]

Making abortion illegal won't make it go away... just a lot more dangerous. Abortions have existed as long as civilization has... perhaps longer. Ban them and the exact same amount will still happen... just in secret and with a lot more women dying.I...  [Read More]

Note: Any decently SCIENTIFIC teaching of evolution would point out that evolution, like all scientific theories, is as yet unproven, and while there is ample evidence for the theory, there are holes in the theory, and we could very well find out at...  [Read More]
