The court heard one 14-year-old from Florida was tricked into believing he was talking to a girl, then blackmailed into repeatedly raping his one-year-old niece.

Yes, and I see that as a negative, because the people who are most anti-religious live in countries where the majority religion is not Islam. And they're also not targeting the anger towards Islam.

I drink and smoke every night (generally, will take breaks sometimes). I don't see myself as an addict. Some people have, most don't. Never do either at work (I did at a previous job, but that was in context. No such context at current job, so no desire to do so), not during the day on days off (rare exception on special occasions), I don't drive, so driving under the influence isn't an issue. As for getting into trouble, I've had 2 noise complaints where cops have shown up, one more than 10 years ago, the other was 9, maybe 8 years ago. In contrast, I've had to deal with cops twice in the past 6 months because of pokemon go >_>. Never been in a fight, never been kicked out of a bar (been denied entry a few times). I'm more productive after a few drinks than sober. Not so much after smoking, but I don't smoke when I intend to get anything done, so there is no interference.

4. Can a pregnant woman accept any medical procedure done to her that would have an impact on the child such as a barium swallow test or an abdominal x-ray?


A professional should assess how much damage any medical procedure could potentially have on a pregnant woman's baby. An abdominal x-ray isn't going to terminate your child instantly, but it could have some negative effects. How important is it that this medical procedure be performed during pregnancy? Can it not wait? In most cases it probably can. But in cases where the mother's life is in danger, it might be worth taking the risk. That decision should be left up to the mother and the professional.

Again, I'm only asking for one simple thing. That human life, even at its earliest stages of development, be granted a right to life. You are asking much more complicated questions. Ones that can only be answered on a case by case basis. It really depends on the specific situation.

IMO abortions should only be permitted in cases of self defense. Same goes for bringing any other kind of harm to the baby. If it is necessary for the mother to stay alive, it should be up to the mother to either risk it, or go ahead with the procedure.


That's reasonable. There are people who don't even accept case-by-case logic. She's 12? Doesn't matter. Rape victim? Doesn't matter. Incest? Doesn't matter. Fetus is vegetative and experiencing constant seizures due to major brain malformities? Doesn't matter. Fetus literally already died and mother will too from septic shock? Doesn't matter. They do not give any fucks whatsoever. You clearly are not one of those types, so good on you for agreeing that cases should be assessed in context on an individual basis. The pro-life view in general would be more respected if more pro-life people were like that, as opposed to having "no abortion ever for any reason whatsoever" garbagethought.

First, abortions didn't exist back then. Second, the bible is the basis of christianty, of which you are a follower. Your beliefs may be based on your morals and values, but as a christian, you have the conditioning and predisposition to follow the morals and values of christianity, on at least a foundation level. It's not even necessarily conscious.

"But the bible doesn't say anything about abortion!"

It also doesn't say anything about guns, or airplanes or the internet or vaccines or robotic prosthetic limbs or carbon emissions or cell phones or air conditioning or credit cards or football or fast food. Why? That stuff wasn't around back then.

When something post-biblical comes into existence, people form opinions about it. Religious people form religion-oriented opinions because they form opinions based on their morals and values, which tend to be rooted in religion, even when they aren't specifically told by their text, their community, their leaders and peers to believe such things. It's not more complicated than that.


Let's assume that the only reason I'm pro-life is because of my religious background (which is false). So what? I can still make a logical argument for pro-life that has nothing to do with religion. What's the point of you bringing up the fact I have a religious background? What are you trying to prove? My religious background does not in any way make my logical arguments for pro-life less logical.


It speaks to the motives behind your arguments. I didn't say it invalidates them. Maybe someone else did, but that's not what I'm arguing. I'm arguing about your stubbornness to realize and accept that your beliefs ARE linked to your religion.

What I am not saying...

A) you are religious.
B) you are pro-life

A directly caused B.

What I am saying...

A) you are religious.
?) you are pro-life

A is the first step in a chain of perception that may have any number of links and branches. In the end, ? ultimately resulted from A, but with a number of other links in the chain, displacing it from A but still keeping the connection.

It's like evolution. Humans evolving from apes was a long and drawn out process. It wasn't just one day a pregnant ape popped a full-on human out of her vagina. I just do not believe that your perception of abortion would be literally identical to what it is now had you never once so much as dabbled in religion. I am not saying your argument as it is now would be logical if you were not religious, but somehow ISN'T logical simply because you are religious. That wouldn't make sense.

ok, just stop for a second.

Lets assume that literally everyone in america suddenly agrees that life begins at conception and that literally a single-cell zygote is a full human with person rights and everything. Answer the following questions.

1. Can a pregnant woman claim the zygote as a dependent for taxes?
2. Can a pregnant woman enter a bar that does not allow anyone younger than 21 inside of it?
3. Can a pregnant woman have sex?
4. Can a pregnant woman accept any medical procedure done to her that would have an impact on the child such as a barium swallow test or an abdominal x-ray?
5. Can you imprison a pregnant woman?
6. If a pregnant woman is found to be a child abuser, do you take her unborn child away from her?

I could continue but I think you'll find the notion that a pregnant woman being considered merely shelter for a living human with full rights is much more logically inconsistent than otherwise.


You're blowing this way out of proportion. I'm talking about 1 right that, in my opinion, should be granted to all human life, regardless of what developmental stage they are currently in. The right to life. That's it. Your questions are... nonsensical tbh.


Incorrect.

(Side note: aside from "life begins at conception" which I do not believe, the rest of you pro-choice argument seems sound at first glance)

Back to the questions... they at not nonsensical in the slightest.

1. If children can be claimed as dependents, so should zygotes, embryos and fetuses. They are no less dependent than birthed children.

2. If it is illegal for a person cannot bring their child into a bar, it would be illegal for a pregnant woman to enter a bar. This one is more of a stretch than others. First, she shouldn't be drinking if pregnant (is this illegal? I'm curious). Second, a child in a bar could be the child of the owner. Obviously it is illegal to serve alcohol to anyone under 21 in the US, but there are cases when people under 21 can be in bars.

3. I'm actually not sure where this one is going.

4. This one is important. What is to be done in a case where a woman requires a medical procedure that endangers the life of the unborn, but can't be neglected due to the fact that the woman's life is in danger without the procedure? A. Do it, but unborn is at grave risk. B. Don't do it, but woman is at grave risk. When the rights of 2 recognized lives conflict, which rights take priority? Even if you choose to ignore the other questions, you must answer this one.

5. When you imprison a parent, you don't lock their non-convict kids up too. Imprisoning a pregnant woman would mean imprisoning an innocent life along with the convict.

6. This is another strange one. I mean you can't just remove a fetus from a woman because she is a child abuser. It speaks more the rights of the child after it has been born.

It's not discrediting at all to the points I've made in this thread. It is a deflection. What I have brought up in this thread has not been shut down, and is not any less valid because of something I said in a different thread.


You have less credibility now for having contradicted yourself as much as you've been shown to have done. As a result, you and any other things you have said can not be taken seriously. You asked him to list examples of you using emotional appeal. He provided countless examples. Now it is "deflection" because "well that was another topic." That topic was on the same subject. I remember it well. The rest of the stuff you've said isn't any less valid. You are right about that... but not in the way you think ;)

Incorrect. This is why I'm pro-life:
http://www.prolifehumanists.org/secular-case-against-abortion/


The problem I see with this is it hinges on the potential for life, which has a fundamental flaw. I think it's best addressed with another excerpt:

a fetus?s potential for being a person does not provide a basis for the claim that it has a significant right to life. Even if a potential person has some right to life, that right could not outweigh the right of a woman to obtain an abortion, since ?the rights of any actual person invariably outweigh those of any potential person?


Yeah, it's mostly slippery slope garbage.

"If the preborn are not people, abortion should be legal up until the literal moment of birth. You don't want THAT do you? D:

If preborn ARE people, we have moral obligation to give them the same rights as the living because if abortion the day after conception is okay, we are on a slippery slope that will mean it's okay to kill a 4 year old because of an abusive home! You don't want that do you? D:

Why not middle ground? Because science doesn't know enough yet. *shrug emoji*"

It is literally 100% emotional appeal.

Also consider the fact that we're talking to someone who has literally made the following two statements:


Maybe try and consider what I've posted in this thread, and not just things I've said in other threads. What you're doing is called deflecting.


Actually it's called discrediting, and he is doing a damn good job of it.

Yes, I'm lost as to how the excerpt is relevant to the topic title.

"Trump sows distrust of the press, just like the torturer did in 1984"

How can you not see what's right in front of your face here

The GOOD GUYS were distrustful of the media in 1984, and for a very good reason.


It wasn't even the media though. It was government propaganda.

It's obvious to anyone with a reading comprehension greater than a 6th grade level to have "the press" be taken to mean in the context of journalistic integrity of the profession.

Wut? No it fuckin isn't. The press is the press.

And even if that's somehow what she meant she's still wrong, Trump didn't lambast the concept of journalism, he lambasted corrupt media outlets and personalities.


That one guy said "people should only get their news directly from the president."

anti-science people aren't well known for understanding science.


Yeah. "Scientific fact: life, aka personhood begins at conception. However, defining personhood isn't exactly scientific."

I will never be able to take this guy seriously now, if there was a chance I ever would have.

Biblical fact with no scientific evidence whatsoever: Human life begins at conception. We're not talking about potential life. Abortion terminates the life of a human. He is already living.


I'm not sure that is relevant to abortion because rights take precedent. Banning abortion strips rights away from the mother (who has personhood) and transfers it to a fetus that does not have personhood. Rights are assigned to persons.


Fixed his post in your quote for you :)

Feel free to cite and explain a single emotional appeal I've made in this thread.


"Protecting our own kind is a basic human instinct we all possess."
"Killing humans because they inconvenience you is evil."
"I care about human life, especially when it has never done anything wrong to anyone, and is helpless."
"HEY YOU DIDN'T USE A CONDOM SO NOW YOUR ONLY OPTION IS TO KILL A BABY! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYY!!"
"I still don't understand why in 2017 people want to murder babies."
"It's sad that so few pro-lifers have had the balls to stand up for what's right in this thread. I'm sure you guys are reading. Shame on you."
"No I don't. I don't "calm down" over you supporting the execution of humans because they don't possess a philosophical quality that you believe in. This is something worth getting fired up over."

and my favorite:

"Well, I just lost my job and my wife died in a plane crash. I have no family or help and I'm forced to live in an alley. My 1 year old son is going to have a shitty life now so I might as well kill him."

^Is there something wrong with this?


These are all from just a month ago.


I remember that conversation. Well done :)

"I won't calm down. This is worth getting fired up over. This is not emotion btw."

Vindris, I heard of a case in Ireland where a woman miscarried but the fetus stayed all up inside her. She went to the doctor to have it removed. The doctor, being catholic, refused, because in his mind, abortion... even though fetus was dead and woman's life was in danger. Before she could find someone to do the procedure, she died of septic shock.

What are your thoughts on this event?

Yes, we get the topics gone over your head. No need to inform us once again.


Boy you sure turned that one around on me!


I didn't really care too and I wouldn't have responded again either but it's pretty fucking hilarious that you're gonna call someone out for making an "emotional appeal" when that's literally all you've done.

Nothing you've said in this topic has been anything but emotional appeal. Pretty sad if you can't see that yourself.


Feel free to cite and explain a single emotional appeal I've made in this thread.


"Instinct to protect human life has nothing to do with emotional appeal. If humans did not have emotions, they would still have the instinct to protect human life. There is something else inherent in this instinct that drives it, but it is devoid of all emotion."

And yet, I, as a pro-abortion person who does not want to ever have kids, don't really exhibit emotion and never use emotion as a basis for my actions, decisions, choices, ideologies, values, morals etc.

Pretty sure it's taken out of context. If she meant trust your leaders in general then she'd be implying to trust Trump too. She's saying the current state of our executive branch is akin to Big Brother.

This isn't really an issue about abortion, it's about fucking over the whole medical profession just to get at abortion providers.


How dare those lawmakers attempt to protect human life!

I'm not going to start playing semantics here. I'm not going to start defending my stance on abortion against your convoluted and contrived rhetoric. People who think like you do, and who operate in a manner that defies your own natural instincts to preserve human life, cannot be reasoned with in regards to abortion. It would be an absolute waste of my time.


Your perception of how human life is defined is rooted in your religion. You can't see that, but it is what it is. "Every single person has literally the exact same instincts" is an asinine claim to make.

Bullshit. Your whole stance is two pronged:

1. Anyone who is pro-choice is a despicable human
2. "Life begins at conception, look it up."


You clearly don't understand my "whole stance".


"My stance has nothing to with my religion, just my perception of reality, which is not all influenced by my deeply religious values and would be the same perception had I never exposed myself to religion."


Pro-life atheists exist. Enough said.


"Misguided people exist." Yeah, no fucking kidding.
