@LordSauceness I do not believe her actions were wrong, it was from love. People should just have there choice. Also, I do know how to prevent it. I myself am working with my studies and I have no interest in that activity, I wish I could say more for others, but sadly, I can't.
@LordSauceness I agree there shoud be prevention, I stilll believe that abortion should be 100% legal. Here is a story; 10 years ago when I was in 5th grade, my 11 year old self had a teacher. She was 6 months pregant, her baby had spinal bifida. At 6 months she want to have a abortion ONLY because the baby she loved would be in pain for, I don't know, 4 years of his life. I think it was wrong the baby had spinal bifida, I think it was wrong my catholic teachers said she was going to hell.
@mdigati1 I DEFF. do not believe in 1-2 children max per household, we would become like China! My mother has 4 chidren, I llove my siblings an dI deff. do not think the goverment should kill them or put them up for adoption.

@coyoteself Last year, we had a few trolls turn up to the Friday night talk by PZ Myers. PZ wasn't too kind to one lady. You can see it somewhere here on YouTube.
@TheThinkingAtheist -- Can you explain in one of your video .. that we feel pain because of our nervous system ,A soul dont have it and this mean it cant feel pain .. so Burning in hell do not make any sense, because a non physical object cant burn or feel pain :P
@LordSauceness I am training to bs a Doctor and we cannot, 95% of the time, keep alive a 3 or 4 month old child. Just let people do what THEY think is goid for themselves. I don't understand why people take away peoples rights because they think it is wrong, like gay marriage. Let them get married, how is it affecting anyone? It doesn't. Same with abortion. It is the mother choice, it SHOULDN'T be anyone elses.
@oOToStopANightmareOo I agree mostly, but a DNX abortion is pretty hideous and is done in the 3rd trimester when the embryo is viable. There needs to be some compromise on both sides of the issue I think. I believe in the woman's right, but as a humanist/agnostic I also don't believe in harming a living human being.
@LordSauceness Did I say my opinion is better? My opinion lets everyone have their rights (Im still learning english, so don't be a dick about my english). Do NOT call me ignorant. I can have conversations with open-minded people. Not people who thinks abortion should be illegal. Do you know this worlds population count? I grew up in a 3rd world country and I KNOW we don't need another billion people. I am an educated, intellgent woman who knows 3 languages. And no you are wrong.
Not once did I ever say abortion should be illega!. There's a big gap rigtht now between wanton abortion & making it illegal. Abortion is basically today just birth control. There must be some middle ground between pro life & pro choice. I'm not religious in any way, but I do have respect for human life & understand how unique we are as a species that evolved on this planet.
I'm wrong about what? I'm asking questions, & pointing what's going on in the abortion world. I don't buy the women's 'right's issue. There's 3 people involved in any pregnancy: The father, the mother & the unborn child. Do women's rights supercede those of the other 2?
Using abortion for birth control shows a flagrant disregard for the uniqueness of human life. Abortions are being committed in the 3rd trimester and that just can't be right.
If you are so smart, then you know very well how to prevent pregnancy in the first place. Let me give YOU some unsolicited advice: Go educate other third world women about prevention & then everyone can enjoy a better quality of life. Let's put the blame where it belongs: On religion (especially the Cathotlic Church) that discourages birth control. Education is the key, & you know that.
@LordSauceness Not only is that only 3 weeks off of 6 months, but DOCTORS had to keep it alive. In nature, if a 21 week baby was born, he or she would be dead VERY quickly. It is the womans choice since her body is keeping the life form alive. Here is some advice, if you don't like abortion, don't have one. And don't ask stuipd hypothetical questions. And taking AWAY abortion would take away a WOMANS RIGHT to have a procedure done to them.
@oOToStopANightmareOo *Here is some advice, if you don't like abortion, don't have on*

Christ...can't even have an intelligent converstation about a very important topic without some dipshit know-it-all giving me advice.

@johhnycarlos *Militant atheism and the concept of abolishing religion? If so, how do you guys plan to go about doing such?*
When my 3 year old grandaughter came down with Scarlet fever, the Christians in the fam were praying to God. I countered with 'ok, without anti-biotics, what would her chances of survival on prayer alone be?"
I consider it my right to attack stupid beliefs (like prayer when sick) with the facts of our modern wonders anytime it crosses my path. That's 'militant'.
@johhnycarlos *Is it not possible to have both prayer and anti biotics working at the same time? I dont see the contradiction if its there.*
Well, since the risk of my grandaughter dying without the anti-biotics, I didn't think this would be a good place to experiment. I'm sure the doctors felt the same way, & of course, my daughter.
We all know what would have happened if no prayer was offered. She'd live, thanx to the medicine.
@bmehoota Is there such a thing. How militant a concept to wish to deny people their rights to what makes them happy and how they chose to derive meaning from life.
@aureez No matter what your life story is, he has a plan for you, and he loves you. How could you question the love of the spaghetti monster? Have you no morals?
@TwinBladeFury Spaghetti monster was deep in my heart until i became age of 33. Then suddenly i felt lots of pain( shigmata) and that continued for four days and fourty four minutes.., so i understood it was a sign to run to doctor. She checked the blood and you know what?- Your blood was too salty, she said and gave me a magic pill. Since that moment i have new God- mefrau Fokim Ghmunakatanktna!
@LordSauceness It is not a fully grown human untill 6 months! I don't believe you should treat abortion like a birth control pill. But, I believe people should have the right to do what they want with thier body.
Doctors have kept alive a 21 week old preemie that has thrived & survived. At 9.5 inches long & weighing @ less than 10 ounces! If this had been an abortion instead, why would it not be considered murder or manslaughter at the very least?
Do people really have the right to do what they want with their bodies? Suicide? Cutting off limbs? Who on earth would agree those actions are sane?
Love this! Religion deserves every form of mockery imaginable for keeping people ignorant! My Atheist friends will enjoy, "Religious Fanatic debates Atheist" on my channel.
@TheThinkingAtheist I suppose that makes sense, but it confused me because the list was a list of people. If it were a mixed list, I probably wouldn't have had my visceral-bad-grammar-attack response :P
I've come a long way from a born-again fundie to what is basically now a militant type of atheist, but I still can't wrap my mind around wanton abortion. They are killing fully formed humans and claiming women's rights. I just can't see it. When exactly does murder begin?
@LordSauceness What do you mean fully formed humans? Have you seen a picture of a 1 or 2 month old fetus? They have TAILS. It's a grey area as to when a fetus becomes self aware, but you're kidding yourself to think it's at the point when the sperm meets the egg. Or are you talking about late term abortions? I don't think anyone likes those friend. Those aren't done just because the mother doesn't want the child, they are for emergencies only when the mothers life is in danger.
@zacthebold *It's a grey area as to when a fetus becomes self aware*
I do believe we become self aware around the age of 2. No fetus would be self aware at any time. Most abortions are done for birth control. It's a sticky issue I agree. but technology has pushed the limits of premature birth to the point where I don't think there is an argument about when it becomes murder v.s women's rights. A woman does not get pregnant by herself so it becomes more that her right to whatever. IMHO
@zacthebold *but you're kidding yourself to think it's at the point when the sperm meets the egg*
I never said that. You assume way too much. However, there are & have been abortions at the point when the aborted baby could be saved & kept alive but instead gets tossed into the garbage. Those are the facts, plain & simple & respect for human life tells me that can't be right.
@LordSauceness Perhaps "self aware" was too strong of a phrase. If you don't think life begins at conception what is the problem with first trimester abortions? A person's stance on abortion is not an all in or all out situation, even if many would make it seem that way. I myself find the idea of a "partial birth" abortion for the purpose of birth control to be disgusting.
@LordSauceness Just because one is an atheist doesn't mean one loves abortion. And I think many struggle with exactly when cellular life becomes human life. It's a difficult thing.
I also disagree that mainstream Christians oppose option because they hate women or wish to see them without rights. Mainstream Christians oppose abortion because they believe that a human life begins at the very second of conception, and they're working to preserve a life. This is important to understand.
@TheThinkingAtheist *Mainstream Christians oppose abortion because they believe that a human life begins at the very second of conception, and they're working to preserve a life.
Yes, indeed. That is the main thrust behind the anti-abortion movement. My point tho, is that we should look at the issue more deeply. The soul has nothing to do with fully formed baby humans being aborted. It's murder under the guise of women's 'rights', and needs to be addressed without religious overtones. IMHO
@TheThinkingAtheist One of the interesting things about antiabortionist, is that they'll stand up for the rights of an unborn fetus. But once the child is born, many of them turn their back on it and oppose the various social, economic & health care programs that may be required to help the child, or the unwed, single mother w/o a job.
The other bazaar thing about many antiabortionist is that many of them are pro war & pro death penalty. Yet they see absolutely nothing wrong in their thinking
@LordSauceness Atheism and abortion are two separate things. Once you break away from religious dogma, you realize that one can be atheist AND pro- or anti-abortion AND conservative or liberal or whatever. It's your call. There's no atheist priest spoon feeding you your beliefs. Just run with YOUR feelings. Make peace with yourself.
@taowizard *Atheism and abortion are two separate things*
However, in this video we are commenting on, there is a picture of a woman, (Joyce Arthur), a director of an abortion rights group that was included with well known atheists. This is what go me thinking & commenting on the issue.
I am at peace with myself. That doesn't change the fact that we need to tweek the abortion laws a bit
@taowizard i agree. atheism is one stance on one topic: the existence of a god or gods. namely, it is the stance that one does not believe in such things. whatever else an atheist believes does not disqualify them from being atheist.
@LordSauceness I think most people think there should be some limits. At 8.9 months, it seems obvious it would be wrong. And I don't see how you could possibly think it starts at conception without religion. I think the labels "pro-life" and "pro-choice" are terrible. Where is the line between them? I'm guessing the two groups agree more than they would like to admit, but just divide along party lines. One side thinks that everyone on the other side want to define ...[continued]
@LordSauceness [part 2] life "at erection", regardless of the cause of pregnancy (such as rape) or high risk of death to the mom. The others think the opposing group believe 9 month old pregnancies should be available at every McDonald's, paid for by the government. For me personally, I think the right to abortion should be lost before the gender is identifiable for non-rape or life threatening reasons. Although I wonder if that would actually reduce the rate of aborotions..[cont]
@Codylupardus *For me personally, I think the right to abortion should be lost before the gender is identifiable for non-rape or life threatening reasons. Although I wonder if that would actually reduce the rate of aborotions*
@LordSauceness [part 3] Where safe abortions are not, methods such as coat hangers are used. Which hurt the carrier and (if done after the baby can feel) the baby more. I think abortion should be made unnecessary (except for rape/life-threatening cases) by educating both men and women on proper prevention and providing the means to do so. [cont]
@LordSauceness [part 4] I think the main reason atheist make fun of pro-lifers is because the people who are pro-life tend to be the more religious, and many stand in the way of contraception for solely religious reasons. They want to "have their cake and eat it too." They claim to care about life, but are they are part of a group that supports wars the most. The eat the flesh of animals abused in CAFOs for months without batting an eye. They are inconsistent with their beliefs.
@LordSauceness Abortion makes life an arbitrary thing. Either life beings at the point of conception and optional abortions are murder or one needs to struggle with the moral viability of full term abortions. It doesnt make any logical sense to say at point X in the pregnancy the "thing" becomes a child and you cant kill it.
@johhnycarlos *Either life beings at the point of conception and optional abortions are murder...*
I would argue that POTENTIAL life begins at conception. Intially, all we have is cell division. There's no sense tossing out the baby with the bath water. If an unborn baby can be saved via premature birth saving techniques, but the mother aborts 'it' instead, is this not murder in disguise?
Arguing when the fetus becomes a person is arbritrary indeed. But do we just keep the status quo?
@LordSauceness I would absolutley agree that it is murder in disguise. In my opinion, though just cellular division, conception in a fertilized egg begins life. You have x and y causing z to come into being that otherwise would not happen and would not exist. That change from x and y to z is where life beings. There are such things as accidental parents, but no accidental babies. The chance of any of us being here is .00000000357%
@LordSauceness I also have struggled with this. I was very fundamentalist in my beliefs and am now an Agnostic, however, I too believe that abortions kills a living entity. I believe that abortion should not be used as a form of birth control, however, I also believe that the decision is the woman's to make. DNX abortions where the baby is breech birthed and then stabbed in the back of the head to have his brains sucked out is pretty obvious to me to be murder. Many would adopt that baby.
@mdigati1 Stop being so simple minded and inform yourself please. D&X Part-birth Surgery is applied to an already dead foetus in order to allow it to pass without having to extensively dilate the cervix...
@LordSauceness Most abortions happen when the EMBRYO is not even close to fully formed... or even viable. Generally abortions are performed in the first few weeks of the trimester, before the embryo can even feel pain.
@monkeyshine89 *Most abortions happen when the EMBRYO is not even close to fully formed... or even viable. Generally abortions are performed in the first few weeks of the trimester, before the embryo can even feel pain*
Try addressing the issue I've raised on this. Yer preaching to the choir on this one. And, it's not 'most'.
Most abortions are done by women under age 25. Which tells me this is nothing but an irresponsible birth control method and a disregard for human life.
@sixcats100 He says what I wish I had the guts to say. I really can't unless I want to end up even more isolated than I already am, which is pretty fucking isolated.
@ThatFuckingAtheist "I get scared everytime atheists get together, because if a fire breaks out, or somthing, the crazies will use it as ammunition."
You'll be happy to know then, that if the AAI's 4th Annual Texas Freethought Convention was any indication, we atheists bring rain with us to places suffering so badly from droughts and fires that even official, state-led invocations to Yahweh are powerless. =)
Plus, we wouldn't kneel down praying for a deity to save us.
"Imagine there's no heaven. It's easy if you try. No hell below us. Above us only sky." - John Lennon I thought of those lyrics when I read the video title.

I've come a long way from a born-again fundie to what is basically now a militant type of atheist, but I still can't wrap my mind around wanton abortion. They are killing fully formed humans and claiming women's rights. I just can't see it. When exactly does murder begin?
LordSauceness 4 weeks ago
@LordSauceness What do you mean fully formed humans? Have you seen a picture of a 1 or 2 month old fetus? They have TAILS. It's a grey area as to when a fetus becomes self aware, but you're kidding yourself to think it's at the point when the sperm meets the egg. Or are you talking about late term abortions? I don't think anyone likes those friend. Those aren't done just because the mother doesn't want the child, they are for emergencies only when the mothers life is in danger.

@zacthebold *It's a grey area as to when a fetus becomes self aware*
I do believe we become self aware around the age of 2. No fetus would be self aware at any time. Most abortions are done for birth control. It's a sticky issue I agree. but technology has pushed the limits of premature birth to the point where I don't think there is an argument about when it becomes murder v.s women's rights. A woman does not get pregnant by herself so it becomes more that her right to whatever. IMHO

@zacthebold *but you're kidding yourself to think it's at the point when the sperm meets the egg*
I never said that. You assume way too much. However, there are & have been abortions at the point when the aborted baby could be saved & kept alive but instead gets tossed into the garbage. Those are the facts, plain & simple & respect for human life tells me that can't be right.
LordSauceness 4 weeks ago
@LordSauceness Perhaps "self aware" was too strong of a phrase. If you don't think life begins at conception what is the problem with first trimester abortions? A person's stance on abortion is not an all in or all out situation, even if many would make it seem that way. I myself find the idea of a "partial birth" abortion for the purpose of birth control to be disgusting.
zacthebold 4 weeks ago
@LordSauceness Just because one is an atheist doesn't mean one loves abortion. And I think many struggle with exactly when cellular life becomes human life. It's a difficult thing.
I also disagree that mainstream Christians oppose option because they hate women or wish to see them without rights. Mainstream Christians oppose abortion because they believe that a human life begins at the very second of conception, and they're working to preserve a life. This is important to understand.

@TheThinkingAtheist *Mainstream Christians oppose abortion because they believe that a human life begins at the very second of conception, and they're working to preserve a life.
Yes, indeed. That is the main thrust behind the anti-abortion movement. My point tho, is that we should look at the issue more deeply. The soul has nothing to do with fully formed baby humans being aborted. It's murder under the guise of women's 'rights', and needs to be addressed without religious overtones. IMHO
LordSauceness 3 weeks ago
@TheThinkingAtheist One of the interesting things about antiabortionist, is that they'll stand up for the rights of an unborn fetus. But once the child is born, many of them turn their back on it and oppose the various social, economic & health care programs that may be required to help the child, or the unwed, single mother w/o a job.
The other bazaar thing about many antiabortionist is that many of them are pro war & pro death penalty. Yet they see absolutely nothing wrong in their thinking

@LordSauceness Atheism and abortion are two separate things. Once you break away from religious dogma, you realize that one can be atheist AND pro- or anti-abortion AND conservative or liberal or whatever. It's your call. There's no atheist priest spoon feeding you your beliefs. Just run with YOUR feelings. Make peace with yourself.

@taowizard *Atheism and abortion are two separate things*
However, in this video we are commenting on, there is a picture of a woman, (Joyce Arthur), a director of an abortion rights group that was included with well known atheists. This is what go me thinking & commenting on the issue.
I am at peace with myself. That doesn't change the fact that we need to tweek the abortion laws a bit
LordSauceness 3 weeks ago
@taowizard i agree. atheism is one stance on one topic: the existence of a god or gods. namely, it is the stance that one does not believe in such things. whatever else an atheist believes does not disqualify them from being atheist.

@LordSauceness I think most people think there should be some limits. At 8.9 months, it seems obvious it would be wrong. And I don't see how you could possibly think it starts at conception without religion. I think the labels "pro-life" and "pro-choice" are terrible. Where is the line between them? I'm guessing the two groups agree more than they would like to admit, but just divide along party lines. One side thinks that everyone on the other side want to define ...[continued]

@LordSauceness [part 2] life "at erection", regardless of the cause of pregnancy (such as rape) or high risk of death to the mom. The others think the opposing group believe 9 month old pregnancies should be available at every McDonald's, paid for by the government. For me personally, I think the right to abortion should be lost before the gender is identifiable for non-rape or life threatening reasons. Although I wonder if that would actually reduce the rate of aborotions..[cont]

@LordSauceness [part 3] Where safe abortions are not, methods such as coat hangers are used. Which hurt the carrier and (if done after the baby can feel) the baby more. I think abortion should be made unnecessary (except for rape/life-threatening cases) by educating both men and women on proper prevention and providing the means to do so. [cont]
Codylupardus 3 weeks ago
@LordSauceness [part 4] I think the main reason atheist make fun of pro-lifers is because the people who are pro-life tend to be the more religious, and many stand in the way of contraception for solely religious reasons. They want to "have their cake and eat it too." They claim to care about life, but are they are part of a group that supports wars the most. The eat the flesh of animals abused in CAFOs for months without batting an eye. They are inconsistent with their beliefs.

@LordSauceness Abortion makes life an arbitrary thing. Either life beings at the point of conception and optional abortions are murder or one needs to struggle with the moral viability of full term abortions. It doesnt make any logical sense to say at point X in the pregnancy the "thing" becomes a child and you cant kill it.
johhnycarlos 3 weeks ago
@johhnycarlos *Either life beings at the point of conception and optional abortions are murder...*
I would argue that POTENTIAL life begins at conception. Intially, all we have is cell division. There's no sense tossing out the baby with the bath water. If an unborn baby can be saved via premature birth saving techniques, but the mother aborts 'it' instead, is this not murder in disguise?
Arguing when the fetus becomes a person is arbritrary indeed. But do we just keep the status quo?
LordSauceness 3 weeks ago
@LordSauceness I would absolutley agree that it is murder in disguise. In my opinion, though just cellular division, conception in a fertilized egg begins life. You have x and y causing z to come into being that otherwise would not happen and would not exist. That change from x and y to z is where life beings. There are such things as accidental parents, but no accidental babies. The chance of any of us being here is .00000000357%
johhnycarlos 3 weeks ago
@LordSauceness I also have struggled with this. I was very fundamentalist in my beliefs and am now an Agnostic, however, I too believe that abortions kills a living entity. I believe that abortion should not be used as a form of birth control, however, I also believe that the decision is the woman's to make. DNX abortions where the baby is breech birthed and then stabbed in the back of the head to have his brains sucked out is pretty obvious to me to be murder. Many would adopt that baby.

@LordSauceness Most abortions happen when the EMBRYO is not even close to fully formed... or even viable. Generally abortions are performed in the first few weeks of the trimester, before the embryo can even feel pain.

Try addressing the issue I've raised on this. Yer preaching to the choir on this one. And, it's not 'most'.
Most abortions are done by women under age 25. Which tells me this is nothing but an irresponsible birth control method and a disregard for human life.
