Pro Lifers just love big Gov control of peoples personal and private lives

[ChrisHobeck]

@HowardSternn Completely irrelevant to the real issue: Is the fetus a human being or not? If he/she is human, then abortion is murder.

Liberty should be given to all people. But it is everyones responsibility to say that when one person's choices lead to the killing of another, at this point your liberty ends.

I recommend you all go to greenlabel60 page, you will find he really is prolife and playing devil's advocate!

If you really want to reduce unwanted pregnancy and abortion, make the father completely responsible for the baby. If he wants to marry the mother (and she agrees), then we are done. If he doesn't want to marry her, she becomes a surragate mother, he pays her 50,000 to have the baby, and he has the responsibility for the baby (2000/month to the mom).

Otherwise, we just continue with the dad bailing, mom going on welfare or aborting. Bad choices for her.

What makes up a human being? Is a human being a human without a soul? Does the soul die when the body ceases to function? If the soul survives is it trapped in the body? If the soul leaves the body then is it really death or a transitional alternate life?

what about the 14 year old girl that gets raped and soon finds out she is pregnant..though crude this can and DOES happen. abortion doesnt have to be something that any pregnant woman can get, and obviously is an absolute last resort. btu should this hypothetical girl have to go through this whole pregnancy being constantly reminded of what happened to her that night, get the stretch marks that will remind her forever, and not to mention the lack of schooling due to pregnancy side effects

It's hard being pro-life. But I have to be - because it is true.

I wish there were good arguments for abortion! But there are none.

@greenlabel60 So... what are you saying? That infants are not individuals and thus not human? I am confused.

[bdg323]

@Sueezee1 I didn't know mathematics was an insane idea.

Also, pro-life, not pro-birther. 

[bdg323]

@Sueezee1 I didn't know slaves weren't people. (Forcibly denied social or legal status). Also, are people we don't know exist non-people who have no rights? Also, why does social status mean anything in this argument. My rights depend on how you view me? As for legal status, do i not have rights if I live in anarchy? Society does not determine my rights either. You also have failed to put in a day, a time, a point in which the status changes. So no, your argument doesn't work.

[Sueezee1]

@bdg323 says: I gave my reasons why children are being killed, you have not responded

~~~~~~~~~~ Probably because I dont give a damn a about probirthers insane ideas.

[Sueezee1]

@bdg323 says: we must conclude that the fetus is a person during the entire pregancy.

Oh, ok, (smile)
