The contract killing of in utero humans.
dark stuff.

prenatal care Is not eugenics.[snip]
Still, the idea of ensuring that children don't suffer from genetic problems is one that I for one would definitely want to spare any children I might have in the future and I know I'm not alone in that. Here's an article on the subject from last year:
The Ethics of Prenatal Genetic Testing
Is more information better when it comes to prenatal screening?magazine.hms.harvard.edu
I have not said that.Are you saying that you are alright with prenatal genetic testing?
A contract killing is a hit on a person.contract killing is accurate.

you mean like a human?A contract killing is a hit on a person.
Sure?you mean like a human?
how are they not?I think that deep down, you know that this argument is going nowhere. For the audience, IBDaMann believes that abortions are a subset of contract killings. I don't.Let's get back to the words "contract killing" which captures the contractual nature of the killing of a living human.
is someone getting paid to end another's life?
Because they are whores [snip]I suspect that most women who have abortions do so for good reasons.

Ad Hominem Fallacy (18 Examples + Definition)
You've probably stumbled across people arguing by attacking someone's character instead of their ideas. Maybe you've even been guilty of this yourself.practicalpie.com
yes.Congratulations on getting around one of my previous objections in regards to IBDaMann's argument that abortions are a subset of contract killings- namely, you avoided using any form of the word kill. However, As A Proud Lefty pointed out in response to this post of yours, "Another" implies "additional person". At the heart of this argument is whether we believe that a fetus is truly a person or whether it hasn't yet reached that stage. Clearly, I and Lefty don't believe it's yet reached that stage. This matter because if it's not at that stage, I believe the wishes of its mother should take precedence over the life of the fetus. Finally, there's also the potential suffering said fetus might have to endure if the mother doesn't terminate her pregnancy and it goes on to be born into this world with inadequate resources. As I've mentioned elsewhere, millions of children die each year shortly -after- they are born. The World Health Organization has a page on these deaths here:

Does it really make sense to refuse to give pregnant women abortions when their situation is so dire that their child will die within the first 5 years of life?
Are you okay?yes.
you erect word hurdles to muddy the water, muddy waters.
please stop these erections.
There are no word games.
The most cowardly contract killing possible.The contract killing of in utero humans.
dark stuff.
Is a fetus just forming a human person?The most cowardly contract killing possible.
You know the target is always innocent.
Some real hits may involve taking out some very bad men.
Not that that's right, but it happens. Sometimes it may be kinda right.
It's all according to God's plan, afaik.
yes, babies are living humans."Another" means "additional person".how are they not?I think that deep down, you know that this argument is going nowhere. For the audience, IBDaMann believes that abortions are a subset of contract killings. I don't.Let's get back to the words "contract killing" which captures the contractual nature of the killing of a living human.
is someone getting paid to end another's life?
Once the spark of life has happened, yes.Is a fetus just forming a human person?
That's a Christian belief.Once the spark of life has happened, yes.
To demean or murder that is evil.
Uh huh. And-?That's a Christian belief.
no.Looks like you're resorting to the ad hominem fallacy now:and you're still [profanity starts]

Im accurately describing you just doing more word games.
Not in the part of text that I quoted above you weren't. There, you were engaging in the ad hominem fallacy. Quoting from the link I provided previously:

You've probably stumbled across people arguing by attacking someone's character instead of their ideas. Maybe you've even been guilty of this yourself. The bottom line is, attacking the other person's character instead of their argument is often unproductive, and it's known as an ad hominem fallacy.
