I'm not clueless like those demonstrators. Women who have abortions and abortion doctors should get the death penalty.

@NLCA1987 There is no such thing as an "abortion doctor" they are called OB/GyN and are doctors of gynecology ... sheesh. The worst part is you kind call yourself right to lifers" but you have to thought for the young woman who nay be in trouble...and who is supposed to tell you what medical procedure any patient is having anyway. Haven't you ever heard of doctor patient confidentiality??

To Coin A Phrase "Funny how all the people that are anti-abortion have all ready been born" Ronald Reagan..............Probably the smartest thing he ever said ,If somewhat obvious lol.

[JstNEarthling]

@breakbeatkev THAT'S A GOOD ONE TO REMEMBER.

These "reports" are just like the "Americans are stupid" series or Leno's "Jay Walking" segment.

People with a good answer will never be shown because that is not part of the filmmaker's agenda.

@NLCA1987 And that's where we can't agree. All you're doing is taking some invisible line and drawing it while I'm saying something that can think and feel is a person. The "same potential" exists even further than where you're drawing it, ie in the eggs and sperm as both are just like the fetus early stage in that neither can think, feel, make decisions, and requires just extra genetic material and time to become a person.

I won't submit to the idea that it is a person before that.

[NLCA1987]

@DarkBunnyLord I think you misunderstood the definition I gave for personhood. A human person is someone who has the potential for self-awareness, logical thinking, and decision making possible. I'm not saying that one has to have these characteristics right now in order to be a person. If an entity has the potential for developing those things, then that entity is a person. Human zygotes have the potential for developing those things so they are human persons.

[DarkBunnyLord]

@NLCA1987 So does the sperm, the difference is the introduction of the egg or the introduction of nutrients and time. You're still not killing a person, you JUST said it wasn't a person yet and now you're arguing it is. Make up your mind.

[NLCA1987]

@DarkBunnyLord The human zygote is a person because the human zygote has a nature that makes those qualities possible.

[DarkBunnyLord]

@NLCA1987 So then by your own definition it's not a person and thusly if it's not a person it's not murder.

[NLCA1987]

@DarkBunnyLord The human zygote does not have those qualities right now, but it does have a nature that makes having those qualities possible.

[DarkBunnyLord]

@NLCA1987 a bundle of unformed nerves and lack of a brain in early development does not have any of these qualities any more than the sperm or egg did pre-sexual encounter.

[NLCA1987]

@DarkBunnyLord A human person is someone who has a nature that makes self-awareness, logical thinking, and decision making possible. I'm not saying that one needs to have these things right now in order to be a person. I'm just saying that if an entity has a nature that makes these things possible, then that entity is a person.

[DarkBunnyLord]

@NLCA1987 How the hell are you defining what a human is?

When a fetus is generally aborted it has no brain, it doesn't have a fully formed nervous system and thus can't feel anything, it doesn't make decisions, it isn't conscious, etc so how is this lump of genetic material a human yet?
