My own view is that an egg and sperm are simply part of the reproductive system of humans, nothing at all of value itself. The egg becomes...
You entered in to a conversation I was having that was interesting where okgrannie was providing insight and thought on issues that could have...
I'll reword the post that was deleted. I can't remember precisely what I said. I would have preferred that the specific part that was inflammatory...
I quoted your own words and then applied them. The best you can come up with in response is that your words are sexist and misogynistic. I...
I think the context from which the statement I gave that "no one disputes there should be a legal status and that there should be some legal...
You're very welcome to enlighten me. I always enjoy discussing points of view. Your statement that a woman has "NO obligation to live under...
Well then, I accept that you don't feel that there are societal obligations like funding Planned Parenthood. You'll have to remind me of the...
The person who decries "no obligation" expects societal obligations? Incohesive thought and describing moral opposition to abortion as simply...
I'm not sure what war has to do with it. I think my point went over your head. FoxHastings suggested abortion should strictly be a woman's...
No. You can't subscribe to Libertarian philosophy when it serves you and then discard it when it doesn't. You're asking that citizens who...
That is indeed an answer. Then society has no obligation to a woman or any infant. Problem solved, eh?
Abortion and discarding of unwanted or malformed babies has indeed also been around for eternity. I think if one says it is a woman's right to...
Personhood is philosophical. The sperm and ovum are part of the human reproductive system. Both of them could be defined as living entities...
It's not a divert at all. Your argument is binary when it is a question of degree. It's also an issue of semantics as I said earlier. You also...
Your mind definitely keeps mine searching for deeper understanding. So thanks for all your words. I too have noticed that gorillas nurture. I've...
For the record: I said, "The odd thing is that no one disputes that a fetus deserves a legal-status and legal protections but everyone seems to...
I didn't say fetal rights. I said protections. I've inquired nothing about rights and only about protections from my very first post in this...
Courts: A woman addicted to glue-sniffing was five months pregnant with her fourth child. Two of her previous children had been born permanently...
I'm Atheist. I think abortion should be legal. My view is that if abortion is legal, it should be performed as early in gestational age as...
There are lots and lots of things that aren't known. But just for the record I will be clear that there are lots and lots of things that are...
The idea is that human complexity arose out of the elementary natural laws of particles that ultimately developed biological complexity thru...
Every court disagrees with you. (even canadian) Every medical ethics guidelines disagrees with you. They're just unsure what to do about it. I'm...
Agreed. I also think none of us knows. My point was that you would have to go even deeper in to the question of why does a cell behave the way it...
Single cells behave similarly in that they react to stimuli, etc. I think it would be very unlikely that single celled organisms possess a...
While I can appreciate the point of view that experience might be the primary reason to grant any living thing a moral status, I don't agree. I...
