when my baby brother jesus comes back, he's going to kick your ass for that.
Maybe, but crossing the border is getting harder and harder though, with the swine flu, drug cartels, etc.

but your toe will not blossom into a fully functional human being if left unmurdered.
Your mind is apparently completely barren of biological knowledge.
An embryo doesn't always blossom into a fully functional human being, you being the perfect example. HA! Sorry, but you walked into that one.
Talking about being barren of knowledge check out the statistics on spontaneous abortion. "It is estimated that between 25-50% of conceptions spontaneously abort."
http://www.womenshealth.org/a/spontaneous_abortion_common.htm
25-50%. Imagine if 25-50% of month old babies died. What would be society's reaction? Perhaps anti-abortionist money would be better spent on research regarding why 25-50% of conceptions spontaneous abort. What do you think?
In the cancer scenario you set forth... again, this is a case where the woman would have to choose since it was not likely that both could survive.
Please explain your last two paragraphs. How is it that pro-life individuals want two class of humans? You truly are a moron. In one breath you say that you don't want unborn children compared to a woman because they are not equal, in the next breath you say how repugnant it is for people to classify humans to where we are not all equal. Which is it?
1) Where you are going wrong is in your idiotic reference to a human child as a 'fertilized cell'. Both the woman and the child are unique human beings.
2) Actually, yes, you are pro-abortion as you support abortions being legal. Not only that, but you seem to have a hatred for the child as well. Kind of like how people 100 years ago didn't want to be compared on an equal level with blacks.
3) No, there is no time that the woman would be forced to be sacrificed. But if the womans life was in danger to the extent that only she or the child could survive.... then she would have to choose.
4) In the cancer scenario you set forth... again, this is a case where the woman would have to choose since it was not likely that both could survive.
5) "It makes a mockery of the whole anti-abortionist platform which is "a fetus is a human being with all the corresponding rights but when push comes to shove the fetus is worth just a little bit less."
This is comical. It makes absolutely no sense with what you had said thus far.
6) "Haven't we had enough lessons in history regarding one class of people being worth less? Can we afford to let another twisted version of "this human being is worth more than that human being" enter our society again? "
This is even more comical. YOU are the one who sishes to regard one class of people as being worth less. It is not the pro-life people doing so. It is YOU. and NO, we cannot afford to let another twisted version of 'this human being is worth more than that one' enter our society again.
So why do you insist upon bringing back?

Exactly, a child is considered a child, not a dwarf or a midget or an adult.
While the general pattern of fetal development is documented so is the development of doctors and lawyers but no one is considered a doctor or a lawyer until they are a doctor or a lawyer.
It's the "embryo is a human being" fruitcakes who pervert logic. When something is developing it means it is not what it may become. A house is not a house until it is built. Why pervert logic and the English language when discussing fetuses?
It's like holding an apple seed in ones hand and claiming it's an apple tree. If the terms and logic that people use to try and justify the "embryo is a human being" argument were used in any other circumstance the person would be considered a nut job.
Actually, the bible says that life is in the blood and scientifically, the fetus isn't infused with blood until around the 18th day after conception. So one could conceivably believe that life doesn't begin until the 18th day.
You pose a false dichotomy. Embryos/fetuses are not children. They are not human beings. By classifying them as such and then saying a woman has the right it kill it if she has a defective body you are effectively establishing two classes of human beings.
If they are equal then the woman should have no right to kill them just because her body is defective. It's absurd to claim both embryos/fetuses and women are human beings but a woman has the right to kill it when it's her body that is defective. Can't you see how crazy your argument is?

Why should the woman have the right to choose IF a fetus is a human being? Once again, let's transpose that idea to any other situation. In what other instance does a person get to choose to kill someone else when the other person is not doing anything wrong?

There's nothing arbitrary about considering and in-utero baby a human being. Nor does it mean that all human beings are in utero babies.
We can have babies in petri dishes. In syringes. In cups and saucers.
Hell, we can have babies everywhere!
Man: How many children do you have?
Woman: Well, let's see. I have two at home and eight frozen at the fertility clinic.
Man: Wow! Ten children. That must make for a nice tax deduction. BTW, what is the deduction per child these days?
Your minds is a mass of senseless goo.
It doesn't help trying to follow what is being passed off as logic by you and a few others.

You have successfully avoided making a relevant point. Congratulations!
Sometimes in rough situations we make hard choices, that doesn't necessarily mean someone has been dehumanized or second classed.
There isn't anything to make a hard choice about. As I said before you're posing a false dichotomy. There is one human being involved and that's the woman.
Pro-life individuals VALUE life. They think the unborn child should have EQUAL protection. So please EXPLAIN how it is you think they dehumanize the fetus.
By allowing the woman to choose whether it lives or dies. You said the woman CHOOSES. So, how would you like someone to choose whether you live or die? Is that your definition of valuing life? Is that your definition of equal protection under the law?
Are you insane or is it a matter of putting the pipe down?![]()
If you want to get into semantics, fine. Let's just say the level of brain function, vis-à-vis supporting the body, is the determining factor. Damaged. Missing. Developing. Call it what you will.

They are human beings, but they aren't children. There are situation where I believe it should be legal to end the life of the inutero baby, and it should be considered thoughtfully, and maybe even people should feel a little bad about doing it. You are right that one life is placed over the other in these scenarios, but fully dehumanizing the victim is more horrible and unacceptable than doing what's necessary to save a mother, and then feeling a little bit bad later, and working working to prevent these situations in the future.
your full dehumanization approach is merely to alleviate guilt.
I suggested it by typing it.Alleviate guilt? How can anyone suggest a woman can kill her child and feel "a little bit bad" later on?
Yes. Isn't it? Wouldn't your rather be considered second class, than completely nonhuman?Refusing to classify something as a human being is worse than doing so and then assigning them as second class human beings?
"You're a human being but my life is worth more than yours." You really believe that way of thinking is beneficial to society, as a whole? You believe it's a good precedent to set?
Most peculiar considering history is replete with examples.
1) The woman should choose for the two as the child cannot voice its opinion on the matter now can it?
2) "In what other instance does a person get to choose to kill someone else when the other person is not doing anything wrong? "
Um in the instance of ABORTIONS you moron. You know... the thing you support? This isn't a question of doing anything wrong.
3) "You pose a false dichotomy. Embryos/fetuses are not children. They are not human beings. By classifying them as such and then saying a woman has the right it kill it if she has a defective body you are effectively establishing two classes of human beings. "
You are a fucking moron. One, the child is human and it does exist... thus it is a human being. If you feel otherwise please demonstrate why. YOU are the one who is trying to establish two classes of humans you ignorant fool.
The rest is the same moronic gibberish that you continue to present. It has already been addressed.
Just admit you enjoy killing kids and be done with it.
