Roe v. Wade, "New" Science & the Old Geography of Pregnancy

[4624tone]

Choice, choose.. All the ones we DONT have we ALL complain about, Taxes and death the biggest two, so why not let a women choose? What about rape, incest or a 15yr old who cant take care of herself and/or the parents cant? (crack heads,heroin addicts,etc.) Folks will complain about abortion, but not wanna pay high taxes so the stupid ass young mother can get welfare, on US!!!!!!We all need and Must have choices!! I dont mean one who dont wanna tell mom or the one who dont wanna lose their body!

@4624tone Is murder a choice? Yes. Is it legal? No. Why is that since its a choice? Because like with abortion not all choices are ethical or moral.

what a bunch of ridiculous crap. It's not a turtle, frog or fish - .. it's a human !!  DUH !!! Abortion is the death of an unborn child pure and simple. I mean a basic biology class tells you that. Big business (PP) and abortionists take advantage of women at their most vulnerable point, making money playing to their fears. It's P.C. forced down everyone's throat by the hippie leftovers who believe that up's down, bad is good, and good is bad.

Save the Whales and kill the babies ..

the question is not about how you define a person. if it is a person, would that mean a woman could be forced to give up her bodily autonomy? of course not. her rights do not evaporate upon becoming pregnant. being able to exist inside a woman's body is purely at her discretion. it is a privelege, and not a right.

[slyjokerg]

@TheTwill12 that was a very compelling and meaningful addressing of substance. good job.

In Switzerland, the "New scientific evidence" argument was already used by fundamentalists in the 1920ies !!!

The question is: how do you define a "person"? This is not a scientific question. Most (non-fundamentalist) philosophers and thinking people would not consider a fertilized egg a "person". And this fertilized egg is within the woman and cannot develop without her. The video is excellent: You cannot give the embryo rights over the woman without making her an incubator and slave.

Zygote, embryo, fetus, baby =same person.

The same person from the moment of

conception. They have the right to live!

REPENT!

@2000yrCatholic and woman don't??

that's a fine argument in a religion but as law it's not

I would not be surprised, disgusted, but not surprised if the conservative majority in the Supreme Court granted personhood to one day old zygotes, lol. They just officially confirmed that corporations are people and have rights, so this wouldn't be much of a stretch.
