I missed nothing, I already said you think author is a woman because of their unique view on abortion. That still does not make them a woman. You are ASSUMING.Let me help you out a little and you will see why I said what I did and MAYBE pick up on the irony....
So all in all, I was simply pointing out that you can't say it's not my issue but here are my views on what should be done about the issue. I am sure you missed that point though. Your ability to read words and not get hidden meaning is astounding.
If only extremely early term abortions were legal I'd probably not take issue with it. But that's not the case and in most states it's completely legal to butcher a nearly full formed human inside of it's mother. I don't think Alabama's new law is perfect, but it's far less immoral than the status quo in most states and in most of the Western World.If you equate removing a pea sized embryo from a mother to butchering a baby, I don't really know how to reason with you.
Pain?To kill me or any other non-vegetative, viable human would almost certainly involve inflicting some degree of misery. Abortion during the first trimester surely causes less suffering to an embryo than would be experienced by a deer struck by an arrow. The hardship avoided for parents in cases of unwanted children outweighs the pain, if it exists at all, of the fetus. I understand, though, how these considerations wouldn't enter into your calculus if you don't view morality through the lens of avoiding suffering.
As to the question of potential, if you could kill me painlessly without my suspicion of your intentions, and assuming I have no one to mourn my passing and you commit the perfect crime so that no one is terrified of such a fate befalling him, you have succeeded in merely snuffing out potential. This is an interesting thought experiment but I cannot account for its place in the context of this particular political debate.
That’s ridiculous. You don’t even have to believe in God to argue for pro-life.likely because they just don't want to answer. I hang up on pollsters and don't answer when leaving after voting.
except that's not really how data works. You can't remove most of the answers and then claim victory with what's left over. Or do, who really cares. Abortion will be legal until a theocratic court overturns it. That's what you're all aiming for and it's scary to think of the ramifications
Somebody posted some numbers earlier today. It showed about 95% were 1st trimester and only 1 out of almost 20,000 was 3rd trimester, and that one was because of fetal deformity resulting in non-viability.If only extremely early term abortions were legal I'd probably not take issue with it.

I suppose it comes down to what you consider nearly fully formed. I consider a human body inside it's mother to be near enough formed to be able to perceive pain. If what I read is accurate it says that the Fetus has it's own beating heart within 18 days, I just don't see how it's morally acceptable to destroy a human with a beating heart.

Seems like the butchering of nearly full formed humans is what is not a real issue but just a point of propaganda.
I posted that. I also asked what NY numbers might look like in a couple of years. I know R v W is first trimester bit I think it should be earlier.....like 8 weeks. There us a beating heart in 5. If you are too stupid to know what you are doing is risky, you are too stupid to be doing it and entirely too stupid to be procreating.Somebody posted some numbers earlier today.
