yea, someone head to the other one and close it.
i'm going to lay down a few ground rules here. 1- i don't care what your stance is, and no one else does either 2- use logic and facts to try to convince us to believe something. it's called a debate not a disorganized rumble. 3- be civil. a lot of you seem to have problems with this. 4- no links, unless neccisary. no quoting outside sources over a paragraph. USE YOUR OWN WORDS. if i don't care what you think about it, why would i care what someone else thinks? and really. stop using other people's arguements. alright. and you know, keeping your posts short isn't a bad thing either. so, the set up: should abortion be made illegal in the united states |

QUOTE n animal is alive and helpless, however they have no right to life. So, the qualities of being alive and helpless do not exactly equate a right to life, or any rights for that matter. I would argue that a fetus is so impersonal, worthless, and so little sentient that it is not much unlike a common animal. In fact, in many cases, the common animal is far more human-like than a fetus. Just as I have no ill feelings in knowing that animals are killed for the convienence and comfort of specific types of food, I have no ill feelings in knowing that unborn children are being aborted at the will of their mother. Until that child is born, our society has no real way to recognize it as having personhood and rights with it. Once the child is born, the mother takes a legal obligation towards its well-being, this is meaningful and useful. However, forcing a mother to treat an unborn child as if it were a full-fledged person, just like you or I, is inherently rediculous as the unborn child is so little lile you or I. wtf a fetus is not worthless, and animals do have a right to life a fetus is a non developed person |

after replying more times than i can count, i have been exhausted on this topic. obviously, many people here have strong beliefs and leave little room to be swayed.
most people are arguing that it is wrong and that it hurts the babies. what about this? while many pro-life people focus on undeveloped fetuses, the world has millions of children in dire need of care and love. however, they are neglected for children who have yet to exist. people advocate adoption. many pro-life people are good, solid christian couples who have moderate income. why don't they start adopting? i'm sure that while they shout from the rooftops that adoption is the way to go, a majority of them have failed to go adopt the many 'saved' children. millions of children are starving, dying from disease, and living in war torn countries. take care of them before you worry about fetuses who are missing hearts, lungs, and spinal cords. |
