    As far as I can tell this is your fist post here. It definitely can get confusing which threads we have posted in.

    You are effectively making a strawman argument, but I can see how easy it is to not realize it. With the slaves we raised their status to be the equal of the free, not above it, as the OP asked about the unborn. The OP's premise in that in elevating the unborn, you then lower the status of the woman, making her rights not equal, but less.

    Since he said Zygote, you engaged in a strawman fallacy.

    Was you who used the term "Complete Human" - my definition matters not - as the question on the table is whether you think that first heart cell meets "Your Definition" .. not mine.

    Yes/No ?

    Thats the definition out of the ole dictionary, not mine, but sure we can run with that.

    A zogote is a fertilized egg and has has everything it needs but food to develop into a complete human by any definition, therefore it is a complete human being.

    They end up as part of the placenta. Sorry mate .. these poor zygotes who you think are a bunch of humans .. all end up ketting killed unless rescued by some scientist looking to do stem cell research.

    the next 'phase' of human development is a blastocyst, and the next PHASE of human development is the embryo, of course it attaches to the placenta where else can get food from, you?

    Sorry mate .. The brick-layer is not the brick building -- nor the supply truck transporting the bricks - or food.

    None of the 200 zygotes (who you want to call 200 people) will ever be one of the cells that makes up the human under construction. They are the builders of the human .. not the human.

    So the purpose of the placenta according to you is obviously to murder all the zygotes that attach to it.

    Did not say that was the purpose of the placenta .. nor do I believe that the death of zygotes during the birth process is murder as you do.

    Now that you mention it though .. why do you wish to kill all those "innocent children" by forcing women to continue unwanted pregnancy ?

    Presumably. the Original Poster is determining the fetus is a non-human thing, a possession of the mother.

    You said it is what the placenta does, and if its what the placenta does then it most certainly is its purpose
    I never said the death of all zygotes is murder
    I never forced a woman to continue unwanted pregnancy

    Is there a valid point hidden deep in the recesses of the nonsense you posted that we are not aware of?

    No, not a strawman argument. Are you implying ('cause I'm inferring) the viability of the fetus will never change with future and current scientific breakthroughs or evidence, for example?:roflol:

    Pretty sure the OP is implying the fetus is a non-human object and possession of the mother.

    I dont see how that has changed for many mercans

    How common is debt bondage?
    Human trafficking encompasses many types of enslavement, but one common form is bonded labor, also known as Debt Bondage. Statistics show that 1 in 5 Americans will die in debt, according to Marketwatch. Many of us will inevitably experience debt, whether that is a car or home loan, or even borrowing $20 from a friend.Mar 21, 2018

    Literally, the fetus is a parasite of the mother.

    Lovely - glad you have finally figured out that a single totipotent human cell is not a person .. and that you are against law which bans abortion in the early term.
