    Liberals only support this form of killing babies because the babies are innocent. Criminals are guilty, so we must protect them. But that being said, I'm against the DP at all due to errors in the legal system.

    It's pretty funny watching so called conservatives pretend to be concerned about the sanctity of life.

    And you think that the aborted fetuses have a mutual symbiotic relation ?

    para - next
    sitos - wheat but as a verb [sitisis] it means to eat , a parasite is something that eats from you or it eats you.

    Oh and parasitic relations can not be symbiotic , "living together " [symviosis] means that the relation is not malicious

    As far as i know science never tried to screw Greek language.

    How many definitions do you need before you get the hint that you and your fellow baby killers won't achieve anything by manipulating scientific terms isn't going to help your cause. A species don't give birth to parasites.

    I think it is you who are confused.

    Parasites are a foreign species that enters a host's body for the purpose of substance or incubation of it's own offspring. So how doesn't a fetus qualify as a parasite if it shares the same DNA of its mother thru the process of reproduction? How do you reconcile the complete difference of the two? Oh wait, you can't.

    Next, there is no contradiction in my views. I feel no need to tell women how too go about their decision to carry their pregnancy to full term or abort it. Its not my place. But lets be real about how barbaric the practice is. A entity gets one shot at life, that's it. Abortion is the practice that deems an entity not worthy of life, either due to not meeting some arbitrary standard of physical health, or as a matter of convenience. Abortionist have elected themselves judge, jury, and executioner of another human.


    So yes, you endorse the practice of killing children. It's that simple, at least be honset about your views.

    It seems to me that the left is inconsistent with their assertion of when life starts.

    For a human being most liberals assert it's at 24 weeks when you can take the baby out of the mother and it can survive on it's own.

    But for a bald eagle's egg, life begins at conception. Because if you crush that bald eagle egg 1 second after it's laid, you can be hit with a felony, $250,000 fine and 2 years in prison.


    So when does life begin?

    I am somewhat liberal and I fully support capital punishment and think it should be extended to rapists and child molesters. While I don't support getting rid of the additional court proceedings that come with a death sentence(we need those as they are an additional failsafe), I think anyone convicted of 1st degree murder, rape, extreme torture, child molestation, and possibly others should automatically be considered for the death penalty. Right now, the death penalty does not really function as a deterrent because it takes so long to happen and it's hardly ever used. If you want it to deter people, you need it to become an almost guaranteed reality, not a remote possibility, for someone that commits a violent crime.

    Didn't you get the memo, if you are inconvenient you're not worthy of life.

    Stop being racist. Black people commit a disproportionately high amount of violent crime so this would impact minorities disproportionately so it's not allowed.

    A good question, and probably an unanswerable one.

    Hence, this fellow, more of a libertarian than a liberal, articulates very clearly the struggle between a very murky term "when life begins"' versus a very real and distinct right, the right to control one's own body:
