  • Pelosi. What an idiot.

  • Whatever you say, Senator it points out that you are PRO ABORTION. If you are not, a simple I am not for abortion. Saved your Democrat position or save your soul? 

  • so " we still dont know when life begins" .. thats strange.. we can predict the end of the universe, calcutate the speed of light, land on the moon, discover black holes, explain bio-complexity .. but we cannot say when human life begins.. duhh read your science textbook

  • fool.. saint Augustine is not the magisterium of the church.. you are not a catholic madam speaker.. saint Augustine would tell you to obey the Magisterium

  • @thecatholicbeliever the bible also sanctions slavery, murder, rape, and genocide. Why would anyone in their right mind listen to a group of child molesters about science topics?

  • Nancy Pelosi is a representative in the house of Congress and is in no way a representative of the Catholic Church. Roe v. Wade is not in the Bible so why is she speaking of it as a Catholic. She speaks out of both sides of her mouth - she says it should not impact a woman's right to choose - and then says it should be safe and rare.

    The Bible recognizes the unborn - Exodus 21:22 - "so that her fruit depart from her"

    Abortion is contrary to God's word. Do not be deceived.

  • So our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ was not alive in the womb of the Virgin Mary until three months?

    I wish she would stop spewing filth like this.

  • @th4Guy77 yikes I feel reluctant to go to my Lutheran school now. Lol

  • My friend has a saying... That right their is fail sauce dripping on a side of fail fries served on a steaming platter of pure failure. And I'd like too say that last comment about democrats isn't true anymore you're a minority leader pelosi MINORITY

  • People like Joe Biden, and Nancy Pelosi, who support abortion, and go to catholic mass must be thrown out. And don't give me that crap about the catholic church being pedophiles because studies show that for every 1 catholic accused of pedophelia, 10 other protestant clergy men are also accused. Anti catholicism is the biggest accepted bigotry today. I wish people would notice that if they treated jews or blacks the same way they did us, for some reason it becomes unfair. total BS

  • Did you hear her say that it doesn't matter when life begins as long as a woman can choose?

    Does that mean that I should have the choice to kill my children?

    If life possibly begins at conception, then shouldn't it be illegal

  • This hoe is such an idiot...

  • NO, you are a bald faced LIAR Mrs. Pelosi! Repeat, you are a LIAR! And you know that you are lying as you speak. Science, the Bible and the church have ALWAYS been unanimous and undivided: LIFE begins at conception.

  • @jwsyt2 Amen

  • As far as I know the Cathlic Church has always said life begins at the moment of conception. Isn't there a medication she (and most politicians) can take to curb their pathalogical lying and disacciative euphoric disorders?

  • stupid b!@tch NSP

  • I hate dealing with anti-abortion fanatics. I could care less what some bullshit fundy or cattleiick thinks

  • @EsClayWilson your pettiness is only exceeded by your lack of insight

  • @CaptainRon1913 I don't run people down based on looks, especially 62 year old women

  • WHy are the pussies always on top? The douche conservatives.

  • @TheIMC8 Because we are the majority. Most people are pro-lfie now because America is starting to Awaken.

  • Stretch that skin back a little further Nancy. You would be much prettier if you eyes bulged out a little more.

  • @CaptainRon1913 She is over 60, so your pettiness is only exceeded by your lack of insight

  • all of you bleeding hearts care SOOOO much about the babies, you talk and talk and talk about when life starts, if people have the right to abort etc etc

    if you love the babies so much, why do you hate the adults they grow into?

    cause amerika has a shitload of homeless people that these same prolife people dont give a damn about

    shameless hypokrites

    oh wait i get it, you need soldiers to fight your wars huh? cannon fodder anyone?

    god forbid america is denied a future soldier

  • @anarchy3E

    amerika doesn't have any homeless people to speak of. maybe a truck load or two, but certainly not a shit load.

  • @CaptainRon1913 UHHHH, all the people from Catrina or any other crisis, like the big banker rip off of unfixed mortgages on homeowners??? Ya, there isnt any homeless in America. There is an increasing number of homeless that were stable until the government swat teamed them out of there purchased homes & ran bank stops on creditable loan candidates that were screwed from unjustifiable inflationary tactics. No one can even borrow money now, yet alone stupid enough to purchase a house.

  • yes i aggree that, "when does life begin?", shouldnt have an impact on a woman's right to choose to kill her baby........who needs babies anyway, theyr just tiny, under-developed people...besides, you dont get rights until the government says you do! so, whatever this wonderful democracy decides, by golly, your gonna do it mf! or else youll be spending a long time in prison...and if we decide to murder you for breaking our rules, by golly well do it...better pay your tribute money...slaves

  • If the fetus isn't a human, than what is it?

  • The sperm meets the egg and forms a zygote... this is a human, with a soul!

  • SHE IS INSANE!!!!

  • She is an idiot. If she was a true Catholic she would hold the pro life views of her church. 

  • If it's not a baby yet..You are not pregnant!!!

    You can't be pregnant with anything except a baby!

  • Why do religious crazy people always have that psycho look on their face when they talk?

  • life begins when you pop out your mothers womb. alive.

    not before, not after.

    abortion (if its an unwanted pregnancy, or if the baby to be born has a high % of being sick or stupid or have one less arm etc) should be absolutely legal.

    but i understand why america has issues with this.

    cause its a backwards country with some very dumb people.

  • @anarchy3E good thing you were healthy baby aye?

  • OH it does, so the time while the baby, or I guess if its not alive, "thing"is in its mothers womb. It just kicks around, and has a heart beat similar to inanimate objects?

  • @slavicman09

    i m sure your comment makes sence

    but sadly, only to you

    think of coherent sentences and then type them

  • you have a space between I and M. Yea your smart!

  • She's giving a scripted answer. So she really doesn't answer she pushed it on the church but did say free will.

  • This is the speaker of the house?????? How did this happen?

  • OBAMA + PELOSI= MURDERED BABIES!

    Democrats= will have to answer for who they voted for someday!

  • @ekajeht shut up douchebag..obama & pelosi are a great team & will rule forever

  • @bitemebig100 Looks like the only thing obama and pelosi will do FOREVER is burn in hell!

  • @ekajeht pfft !! what ever,you nazi fucks are all the same bitch & moan & what does it get ya ??? not a fucking thing,so get with the program or get out of america

  • @bitemebig100

    NAZI???

    If anyone is a Nazi it's the fucking baby killers!

  • Why does the pope not kick her out for her support of abortion ?

    Obama says its above his pay grade but its not above it for him to have hidden public paid for abortion into his healthcare bill he forced thru with clear objections to it.

  • She is catholic and pro-choice?  Wow.

  • Ardent Catholic?

    No, Pelosi you're a crypto jew.

  • What the hell is she talking about?!?!?! She needs to shut her mouth!!

  • Science proved long ago that the life of a unique individual begins at conception. Unborn babies have as much of a right to life as everyone else. BUT! The right to life is not unconditional. A person forfeits their right to life when they physically violate another person without that person's consent. An unwanted pregnancy is, by definition, without the mother's consent. An abortion is, therefore, an act of self defense which the government is obligated to support.

  • @VerumAdNauseam I can't decide what makes less sense, Nancy Pelosi or this comment?

    Why do we want to reduce the number of abortions if abortion is OK ?

    This woman is a liar, the Catholic church has always taught the life begins at conception, now medical science knows it. There is no confusion and it should be above anyones paygrade.

  • Yeah, she's an expert liar as are all theists. The church didn't even know what conception was until science discovered it in the late19th century. Before that the church believed that every sperm contained a whole baby which simply planted itself in the uterus and grew like a plant. It also taught that the soul didn't enter the body until the moment of birth. Big deal. My moral truths don't come from any church, they come from logic and common sense.

  • @VerumAdNauseam Yes everyone who beleives in God is a liar, thats true LOL

    I think you need to study up on history you are quite wrong my friend. Where does your logic and commn sense come from?

  • @VerumAdNauseam

    Logic and common sense tells me that you are judging "ALL theists" when you don't know or haven't talked to "ALL theists" So it looks like you are a liar too. Sounds logical to me. It's also obvious that you have no "common sense".LOL!!

  • One expert who spoke at the United Nations estimates that up to 200 million women and girls are missing worldwide because of sex-selective abortion and female infanticide.

    Feminism's Triumph: Exterminating Girls

    by Joseph A. D'Agostino

    Posted 01/22/2007 ET

  • Why should we "all want to reduce the number of abortions"(as Pelosi just said) if it isn't a baby? If its just tissue, abort away, if its a baby never ever,ever never kill it.

  • She is so stupid!

  • I have done the math...and researched this a bit further. A human embryo at 3wks. in the womb has actually been seen with high density microscopic techniques...to dodge a needle being injected in the womb to 'end' its life...or as MZZPelosi ..end its existance. Now...you tell me...is that LIFE??? 3wks...in the womb people...and she has the nerve to say 3MONTHS??? This woman is totally insane. God have mercy on this ....hate to call her...Person...!!!!!!

  • A fetus is reactionary sure, but it's not conscious. The nervous system is incapable of self concept till well after birth.

    Potentiality does not equate reality.

  • shes yucky looking mommy, why wont this stupid bitch introduce hr 1207 to a vote

  • For arguements sake, I ask for the assumption God exists since neither party can absolutely prove or disprove this as FACT. Both perspectives require faith. God does not murder as we view murder. When God kills he takes away the life which originated in/with Him so He is merely claiming that which belongs to Him as would a a friend asking for a car back that was lent. The title does not change depending on possession. Whereas a human taking a life is confiscating that which belongs to God.

  • how far are you willing to go in impementing "gods law"? i am a chistian but i see that as very dangerous ground, if thats acceptable, what if we elect a bunch of shintoists or muslems to office and they decide to implement "gods law" as their religion defines it? abortion is morally reprehensable but many many people die much worse deaths everyday

  • Ok...I am trying to take a neutral stance on this using her logic. If she claims to be a catholic and catholics believe abortion to be a sin then her answer should be simple. "It should not matter when a child is given or not given human rights as abortion under a catholic perspective is a non-issue in that it is NOT an option." If you become pregnant then it would be sin to end that life. The Lord can cause a miscarriage if the life is not meant to be.

  • Nancy Pelosi is a disgrace to every human life on the earth.She claims to be a practing Catholic. She doesnt know anything about the sanctity of life. May roast in Hell., and she has children. Too bad they wernt aborted.

  • In the United States life begins when you qualify for a birth certificate...if you dont believe me, ask a doctor who isnt a jackass.

  • Newsflash...there's life outside of the U.S. lol...human life begins when aging begins. Aging begins before birth.

  • Comment removed

  • I have 3 children. I have watched the sonograms of these tiny beings sucking their thumbs and fanning their fingers inside of me. Not one scientist on the face of the Earth will tell me when life begins. I AM CERTAIN, ALREADY KNOW!

  • that could very well mean that life begins when the dna of the two cells is merged.

  • Life never ends, it is passed on. Hell is waiting for the unrepentant. Abortion IS murder, MURDER of Life. Point blank.

  • Waste of flesh.

  • Pelosi is a piece of shit.

  • Pelosi is a lying, equivocal muppet

  • Nancy Pelosi is an buggy eyed botox monster. I'm always grossed out when I watch her on TV, her face twitches and shit and she's always doing something with her tong. Gross!

  • Shes an ardent practicing Catholic?

    The Church has always taught that life begins at conception. I might add long before science was able to know the life begins at conception.

    Why does she want to make Abortion rare if there is nothing wrong with it?/ What an ass

  • I think someone should ask Pelosi when 'brain activity' begins.

  • LOL, that has to be one of the funniest things i have heard :)

  • the best question to ask ourselves when trying to figure out when life begins (from a scientific perspective) is how do we determine when life ends. the answer to that question is when the heart stops beating. So doesn't it seem logical to say that life begins when the heart starts beating? Science has determined that the heart starts beating at approx. 21 days. at this time the child also has developed a nervous system, which means the child can feel pain.

  • I especially liked the last and most important question of this interview. The question starts at 3:18 on the video bar.

  • Ardent practicing Catholic who studied this for a long time? Sounds much more like she quickly googled up abortion and read half an article on Augustine. Augustine clearly explains that abortion is wrong whether life initiates at conception or not. As for his Biology, the Catholic Church does not hold it as being his (augustine) expertise since he based his Biological knowledge mostly on Aristotle (lots of wrong things in there). But of course she knew that.Right? Stick to politics Pelosi

  • Abortion is big business, dont kid yourself, there is a lot of money to be made and one of her big supporters is planned parenthood who run the abortion mills all across this country...at tax payers expense I might add. This is about money and nothin else folks.

  • LOL...OHHH my fucking god!!! are you that stupid......your an asshole...you dont have a clue....abortion is a totally irellevant issue...it is not about money at all....your just a dick sucker.....get a clue!!

  • Do the research asshole before you open your big fat mouth.

  • ook, I did the research, your such a conspiracy theorist...what a loser!!

  • cob...you are absolutely right! An doctor once told me that he could make much more money building an abortion clinic that hitting oil in TX. (he did neither)

  • Abortion is wrong, by the standards of common sense. However, it's hard for me to stand up against it because for every abortion commited, there is one less liberal freako idiot casting a ballot in 18 years. Oh yeah, I forgot about PETA. They will get to vote. This is confusing and getting out of hand.

  • shes a moron...let people pay for there own contraception...why is it in the stimulus bill...??

  • Wait wait wait... we have responsibility for our actions? Then why do I have to pay for GM running itself into the ground? Why do I have to pay for all the bad loans given out by Freddie and Fannie? Why do I have to pay for the consequences of anyone else's lifestyle??? Liberals don't believe in personal responsibility, they don't have faith in the individual. They believe that government is the answer to society's problems. What a lie, to say she believes in personal responsibility!

  • Life begins when she and her liberal ideals are gone forever.

  • Ummmmmm eeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrr where the hell is my teleprompter...lmao

  • how did she get life? yes Poster child of idiocy!!!

  • Can anyone say excommunication?

  • I think that the holy of holy of the Catholic faith has slapped her about the face on her ridiculous notions. "Sacred ground" are you kidding me this women wouldn't know sacred ground if it jumped up and bit her.

    People like this that claim a religious affiliation and then oppose said affiliation are hypocrites at their very base. Why is it that so few on the left see this. St. Augustine was not trying to argue the date of conception, that is a gross miss representation.

  • 3rd in line to the Presidency. Holy crap!

  • To bad she was'nt aborted!

  • WOW WOW WOW, Can anyone say I'm a lieing politician????????

  • i thought it was a secular goverment in america?

  • Pelosi is a FUCKING ASSHOLE.

  • Proof liberals are lying idiots!

    and Pelosi is the poster child of idiocy!

  • Liberal philosophy:

    "All life are equal, but some are more equal than others"

  • It is simple life begins at conception why is it so hard to accept what is the problem is it easier to kill something if you think its not alive or is the argument designed to alleviate the guilt associated with ended life

  • MEDICALLY life doesnt begin at conception, fertilized eggs often get passed with a womens period. Until 6wks there isnt even a heartbeat or memory or thought or facial features and limbs. So actually its NOT all that simple. Think before u form an opinion.

  • Comment removed

  • wow, nancy pelosi. I have never seen a more incorrect interpretation of the Catholic Church. You are not a practicing Catholic if you support abortion.

  • Where exactly in the bible does it condemn it? It even separates the death of an unborn baby with that of a person, only talking about a punishment when its killed my the unwanted abuse of another.

  • true,

    and marked as spam by a baby killer hypocrite

  • ppastorppaul.....I like the way you think. But, unfortunately, I believe mankind will keep slouching towards hell with less morals than we have today.

  • And the Catholic Church has refuted her mis-use of St. Augustine. Augustine clearly meant that the body is not fused with the soul until after 3 months, but the body is still a lifeform upon conception.

  • If enacted, FOCA would obliterate hundreds of state laws that protect women, parents, children, and health care workers, while forcing taxpayers to foot the bill for millions of abortions. It would overturn commonsense laws like parental notification, conscience protections, abortion waiting periods, informed consent, and regulations for women's health.

    Obama's Freedom of Choice Act

  • Respect for Unborn Human Life: The Church's Constant Teaching

    In response to those who say this teaching has changed or is of recent origin, here are the facts:

    Get the facts at the USCCB website. Get informed, don't be lemmings.

  • this woman claims to be a practicing Catholic? sad-pray for her

  • lol,I hate her so much.

  • I'm now curious to know if Pelosi ascribes to all of Augustine's positions, or merely those that appear to be convenient to her.

  • The Catholic Church from its very beginnings has been a "Church of Choice." It has always taught that each person is FREE to believe in its teachings as rooted in The Scriptures and Apostolic Traditions or, simply, to leave and find something else. The honorable choice for ANY pro-abortionist Catholic is simply to go elsewhere. The essential Catholic principle regarding the sacredness of ALL human life will never be compromised to placate the disingenuous and/or the ignorant.

  • Hey Pelosi Just like you Hitler pretended to be a socialist too You libs are the same way But kill more, over 1000 a day Ripping them out from their mothers womb A medical waste basket is their tomb Eugenics explained by poverty and health Your excuses for genocide are really quite stealth Socialist to fascist just takes a celebrity drone Standing on top of his Grecian throne Facist pigs in socialist cloths Leading the ignorant around by the nose
  • abortion

    1. operation to end pregnancy: an operation or other intervention to end a pregnancy by removing an embryo or fetus from the womb.

    So Abortion ends the conception/beginnings of a Fertilized Egg.

    But if nots human then why do prochoice advocates have to abort it, what would be the need. Unless it is human & they don't want to care for it.

    Of course Slaves & Jews Weren't Real Persons either, it does make things so much easier conscience.

  • And now for a firm grasp on the obvious brought to you by a simple online dictionary.

    con·cep·tion [ kən sépshən ] (plural con·cep·tions)

    3. biology conceiving of young: the fertilization of an egg by a sperm at the beginning of pregnancy

    5. origin or beginnings: the beginnings or origin of something

  • A little science for you.

    Conception : The process whereby 23 paternal chromosomes are inserted into the nuclues of an egg. What you may want to do is draw a diagram of a sperm/egg pair to help you understand this simple concept - I understand your profeciency in English, it's your science skills that are lacking.

  • teton99 clearly has more accurate scientific knowledge than you. teton99 does not require your false, condescending comments. teton99's comments are accurate. Yours are not. Your knowledge of Human Embryology is, evidently, non existent.

    You've quoted excerpts from a book by Gilbert, who is NOT a Human Embryologist, whose statements are rife with errors, and false claims. You plagiarized him. That's the same as stealing and lying combined.

  • If its not human to begin with, when will it be?!

  • teton99 said "If its not human to begin with, when will it be?!"

    Their entire train of logic is illogical!

    "It isn't human, yet it "becomes human."" Nonsense! "It is "human" but it is not a human being." More nonsense! They are ignorant of the facts, and when presented with the facts, they deny they were presented with them.

    They will seek out "experts" who are not experts to back up their phony "science," and perpetuate the false statements they make. They argue from ignorance!

  • WilliamHW

    Its always GREAT to read your replies I am learning a lot about embryology. Yes the nonsense is amazing when they ask for proof that it is human & life begins at conception & you give them medical testimony they say its just "opinion."

    There ideology has blinded them to reality. Its not an intellectual problem, but a moral one, "I WILL NOT respect life."

  • You can't just say, "Nonsense" and leave it at that. If you're argument is "if something becomes human, then it is human", means a sperm/egg combiation is human.

    If you're argument is "If it's human therefore is must be a human being", then a sperm/egg piece of hair is a human being.

  • JavaBlues said "You can't just say, "Nonsense" and leave it at that. If you're argument is "if something becomes human, then it is human", means a sperm/egg combiation is human."

    Are you ignorant? I stated more in that post that "Nonsense!" Can you read?

    Go back and re-read my posts. I've clearly supported what I state with clear, understandable explainations.

    You appear to be playing a game of "No, it isn't" even when you are offered accurate, cleary observable information.

  • Be civil or buzz off.

    "Their entire train of logic is illogical!

    Looks like you just saying nonsense cunt.

  • "cunt" isn't a civil word Java

  • I agree. Nethier is the comment to which it was a response to. So I think we agree. Neither William nor I have been civil towards each other, and we should stop exchanging posts. I intend to abide by that.

  • JavaBlues said to "thealphacrow" "... Neither William nor I have been civil towards each other, and we should stop exchanging posts. ..."

    Speak for yourself!

    I have been quite civil and have not posted foul language or name calling.

    Asking if you are ignorant, or if you can read, is a legitimate question in the context of your behavior, including your apparent attempt to pretend to ask for information that you intend to dismiss out of hand, then deny that you received it.

  • JavaBLues said "Bull fucking shit. You made this stupid can't read my posts comments.

    Buzz off. Stop replying to my posts and I will stop replying to yours."

    So, you have a foul mouth and you are arrogant.  So what?

    You can ignore my comments all you wish. You have posted false, inaccurate information on this forum regarding the status of the new person, of Human Embyonic development. If you post inaccuracies, if I wish, I WILL respond to, and correct them, as I have done.

  • I have a foul mouth. Get real moron.

    You insulted me then get offended 'cause I use four letter words. Grow up, toss your liberal arts degree, study a little biology, stop quoting from wikipedia and answer my question.

  • Do you like reading Rousseau?

  • No.

  • JavaBlues said "You can't just say, "Nonsense" and leave it at that. If you're argument is "if something becomes human, then it is human", means a sperm/egg combiation is human."

    No, that's not the argument. Human sperm, oocytes, hair, etc., are parts of human beings, but they are not complete living human organisms, human beings, whereas the new human embryo, whose life begins upon conception-fertilization, IS a human organism, a human being, and has begun the continiuum of their life.

  • That's not the argument. Of course that's your argument.

    You have yet to answer one simple, repeatedly question. The question is this.

    What is the major, profound difference between a sprem/egg combination and a fertilized egg. Remember anything you say about a fertilized egg, I can say about a sperm/egg pair, provided I prefix it with one simple phrase - that you seem completely unable to responde to. That phrase is "after penertrating the egg's outer layer"

  • Java

    Is Pelosi a spare tire?

  • No.

  • You know, what I've always wondered is why a person says a fetus isn't a human. So, what is it? Notice that people don't say that about a pregnant cat. Everyone knows a kitten will be born. Same with a dog. No one sees a pregnant dog and says, 'I wonder what will be born'. We all know it will be a puppy. So, please, some pro-choicer, tell us why you don't get it when it is a pregnant human?

  • @Judyp77 Please, don't try to make sense. It only confuses them.

  • She lied. The Catholic Church knows when a human life begins; at the moment of conception. Christ was God even in Mary's womb. The format "and was made incarnate of the Virgin Mary" in the Creed proves that Christ was man and God at the moment of conception, not at the moment of birth, it would not matter when it was made. Beyond that, most abortions occur because contraception failed. It would behoove her to support chastity, because then there is no risk of pregnancy period.

    She lied.

  • "The distinction sometimes made in certain official documents between a human being and a human person to then apply the right to life and physical integrity only to people who are already born is an artificial distinction without scientific or philosophical foundation." "Every human being, from his conception to his natural death, has the inviolable right to life and deserves all respect due to the human person," John Paul II

  • Look at this woman's facial movements and phony smile as she lies through her teeth.

    I seriously think she is out of her mind and dangerous.

  • BS Nancy. She is no Catholic.... I promise you.

    Life begins at conception. If you don't want babies, quit procreating.

  • NANCY IS NOT CATHOLIC. She is a liar who is confused about her "own faith". Any "ardent Catholic" understands that abortion is against Catholicism and Christianity entirely. She is a confused liar who has no right to speak about matters of when life begins or what the Catholic Church teaches. She is a fraud and not Catholic.

  • Java...

    "Biology says that a fertilized egg is only marginally different from a sperm/egg pair."

    Where does it say that?

    If its not human, then there is no need to abort it!

  • In the chemical analysis of what each is.

    "The metabolic view takes the stance that a single developmental moment marking the beginning of human life does not exist. Both the sperm and egg cells should individually be considered to be units of life in the same respect as any other single or multicellular organism. Thus, neither the union of two gametes nor any developmental point thereafter should be designated as the beginning of new life."

  • JavaBlues, quoting excerpt from "Developmental Biology" by Scott F. Gilbert, "The metabolic view takes the stance that a single developmental moment marking the beginning of human life does not exist. ... . Thus, neither the union of two gametes nor any developmental point thereafter should be designated as the beginning of new life."

    That view is scientifically inaccurate, and false.

  • You can't just say it's false. You have to make an argument.

    As for a previous post regarding the difference between a car and a human.

    Why isn't a human 'assembled'. There is a well understood process. There is a factory. What do you think gonads do?

  • JavaBlues said "You can't just say it's false. You have to make an argument."

    I said more. Did you not read it?

    Here, again, is more that I said under that comment: "The blending of the genetic material of the male and female results in a new human organism, a human embryo, a new human being, not merely another cell, or another gamete."

  • Part II JavaBlues said "You can't just say it's false. You have to make an argument."

    I actually said that what you quoted is false and scientifically inaccurate, and it is!

    You quoted a book, probably from the excerpt on the internet: "The metabolic view takes the stance that a single developmental moment marking the beginning of human life does not exist. .. neither the union of two gametes nor any developmental point thereafter should be designated as the beginning of new life."

  • JavaBlues, quoting excerpt from "Developmental Biology" by Gilbert, "The metabolic view takes the stance that a single developmental moment marking the beginning of human life does not exist. ... . neither the union of two gametes nor any developmental point thereafter should be designated as the beginning of new life."

    The blending of the genetic material of the male and female results in a new human organism, a human embryo, a new human being, not merely another cell, or another gamete.

  • Professor Hymie Gordon

    Mayo Clinic

    "By all the criteria of modern molecular biology, life is present from the moment of conception."

    Dr. Watson A. Bowes

    University of Colorado Medical School

    "The beginning of a single human life is from a biological point of view a simple and straightforward matter -- the beginning is conception."

  • What criteria?

  • "Another slightly different though similar position maintains that the argument over when a new human life begins is irrelevant because the development of a child is a smoothly continuous process."

    "Although the opinion that life begins at fertilization is the most popular view among the public, many scientists no longer support this position, as an increasing number of scientific discoveries seem to contradict it."

    "It is incorrect to say that biological data cannot be decisive...It is scientifically correct to say that an individual human life begins at conception."

  • What data?

  • "In contrast to the genetic view, the embryological view states that human life originates not at fertilization but rather at gastrulation. "

    Let's see who can come up with the most citations. ????

    "Despite lacking a precise explanation for the connection between the EEG and neural activity, there is a strong argument that the unique and highly recognizable EEG pattern produced by a mature brain is a defining characteristic of humanity (Morowitz and Trefil 1992). "

    Is birth an amputation from a woman?

    No

    The woman's body provides nothing more then nutrients after fertilization occurs. No new genetic material. All of the genetic material is contained inside of the fertilized egg.

    I watched the doctor pull the placenta out after the birth of my daughter. There is no amputation the woman's body just lets go of the person inside her.

  • An egg does not spontaneously turn into a human and neither does a sperm. Once they join, everything is there. All the genetic material. It is a person.
