This is only eight to twelve weeks into development. You have to be either intellectually deficient or pathologically dishonest to watch this and claim that it is not a person. "But it's just a clump of cells. It's no different than a tumor." How many tumors have you seen that play inside your body? [video=youtube;ohdFabVK388]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohdFabVK388[/video] Game over, guys. It's time to grow up. Murder is wrong, and you know it's wrong.
For one thing you state that the fetus is between 8 to 12 weeks when even the person posting the video doesn't actually state this or know. Secondly you are trying (and failing) to equate reflex actions to conscience actions. Thirdly you are quoting something that I have never seen said on here ie "But it's just a clump of cells. It's no different than a tumor." , can you please link to the actual comment that you are quoting or, as is more likely, your quote is nothing more than an invention. furthermore as I have repeatedly said, it matters not whether it is a person from fertilization or not, the legality of abortion does not rest upon the personhood of the fetus.
What law schools have you applied to so far, Unifier? (He won't come back....remember he's the "hit and run" poster...so no point in trying to get into a discussion with him on his OP. )
Can you please answer my question? I have a good memory, and I dont even remember discussing this topic with you. Rather than spend 20 times go through a search engine, can you just answer my question? Its not a burden.
Then your memory is not as good as you think it is, or have you already forgotten the debate that Chuz Life and I had about the very same thing .. you should as you got involved in it as well. Because it takes away the choice and consent of the woman. BTW you will not find a single case of someone being prosecuted for causing a miscarriage where the woman survived and testified that she consented. The UVVA is very clear on this; Section 2c Nothing in this section shall be construed to permit the prosecution— (1) of any person for conduct relating to an abortion for which the consent of the pregnant woman, or a person authorized by law to act on her behalf, has been obtained or for which such consent is implied by law; (2) of any person for any medical treatment of the pregnant woman or her unborn child; or (3) of any woman with respect to her unborn child.
What a nice double standard. Aborting an innocent baby I feel its an inconvenience, IS MY right and you conservatives better not control my uterus HOW DARE YOU, but if somebody causes my poor little baby to miscarry, they just harmed an innocent life! Talk about cognitive dissonance.
Nope not in the slightest, or can you explain why a person has never been charged or convicted for causing a miscarriage (or murder of the unborn) when the woman has testified that she gave her consent? Consent is the first of all rights, it is the only right that can, and does, over rule the right to life of another person, if it didn't there would be no self-defence laws and all killings would be illegal.
no double standard at all .. what part of you cannot do something to someone else without their consent do you not understand. If you consent to me punching you .. there is no criminal act. If I punch you without consent .. there is a criminal act. The whole bone of contention of this fact is when assisted suicide is the issue, which in my opinion should not be a criminal offense especially if the person who wishes to die makes their consent known to legal bodies.
Do you think a person who causes a miscarriage without consent should be imprisoned for life-yes or no? What about in a state like Texas?
But since abortion is legal, shouldnt causing a miscarriage without consent be a separate offense from murder? An unborn babys right to life shouldnt be a legal right just because the mother wants the baby.
Im not saying I want to control women-read my comment in context. I am parroting what pro abortion women say sometimes-they complain that "conservatives want to control our bodies".
Except you DO want to control women's bodies, Sam.....you've admitted it before. You want to control the bodies of "evil/selfish women" who want to do what you disapprove of....right?
At least he comes right out and says it....most Anti-Choicers just will not admit that controlling and punishing those evil women is their ONLY concern.
I can pull Sam's quotes (including the contradictions) where he admits abortion laws DO control women....and naturally he supports such laws. Which means he DOES want to control women. Throw in his later remarks where he says that he "only" wants to control the "evil/selfish" women....IOW, the women who obey Sam, he doesn't want (or need) to control.
The woman did NOT consent to have her fetus killed. Someone (a fiend with no respect for her right to CHOOSE) took her CHOICE away from her.. ..Oh, wait! What does THAT sound like? There are only two separate issues in your mind, no where else.
Not a person. No brain, no person, yes time to grow up and understand that you cannot be a person without a brain.
