If one believes that human life is present at conception, then yes, that is sound. Not believing late state abortion can be considered murder, where do you draw the line?

I'm following. Still haven't seen you answer when it's murder and when you think it's just ridding a clump of cells, in your humble opinion.

I do not believe that if a woman decides at any stage of a pregnancy to terminate her pregnancy that she is guilty of murder, clear enough?

Is she still considered pregnant if the baby is outside her body with the umbilical cord attached?
all the gotchas make me laugh.

I can play too, is the morning after pill murder?


These aren't gotchas. Your first post on this thread was closer to a gotcha. You said this:

This is the absolute core of the issue. All other items build from it. A line must be drawn somewhere that states definitively when a woman no longer has the right to decide that human life may no longer progress. You stated this is not murder. Most that you are arguing with have been clear on how they see that. You are avoiding the central point by not defining the exact point at which murder can be a legitimate claim.


ok, got it, so you believe that the use of the Morning After Pill is murder, I believe that ANY late stage abortion is not murder
The morning after pill keeps the egg from implanting at all. There is no conception. Just like if they used a condom. Therefore there is no murder.

Also, can we get rid of this stupid "my body my choice" sleazy deceitful marketing crap? It should be "my child's body in my body, my choice". It is literally a separate living human being. Even at 8 weeks.

If the baby can survive with technology, it is murder to abort the child. Have it removed.

She no longer has to be pregnant.

Why is that better. That much anesthesia is likely to induce death anyway?

Why put the mother through that. Why give birth to that baby and drug it to the max and watch it die?
Because it's more kind than pulling it apart with forceps?

And how deformed is deformed enough? Should they be able to kill babies with one arm? ******s? Red heads?


How is that more kind? A 13-16 week abortion causing more suffering than you are describing is absurd.

I'd say a deformity or set of deformities for which there is no medical hope of survival

This at least is a logical position. I would say this point in pregnancy is the maximum, however.

You don't sound opposed to late stage abortion if you are okay with a woman terminating pregnancy up to birth.

Now I see why you've resisted answering direct and simple questions. If you start doing that people can point to your answers not lining up together.

Things change as technology does.

No, she should not have an abortion at 24 weeks because she changed her mind.

Do a C section.

Give the baby a chance and find adoptive parents.

But you probably do not want to go down this wormhole with me on abortion.

I DIDNT SAY I WAS OK WITH IT, I FIND IT REPULSIVE, BUT I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT SHE SHOULD BE CHARGED WITH MURDER ESP IF IT IS PERFORMED IN A STATE WHERE IT IS LEGAL

If the baby has been out 5 minutes and then she strangled it to death, is that murder?

You seem worked up on that word so want to be clear when you do think it's murder.

YOU HAVE STILL NOT BEEN SPECIFIC ON THE POINT AT WHICH MURDER IS A LEGITIMATE CLAIM.

At what point is murder something that could be considered?

So if the law in a state were changed to allow 5 year olds to be shot in the street, would you spend 9 pages calling people wackos for wanting the shooter to go to jail while occasionally tossing in that you found shooting 5 years olds "repulsive"?

So one minute after. Now, when is birth completed? Crowning? Once the feet exit the vagina? Crying? Once the fetus is no longer attached to the placenta?

Well Bag has refused to answer me about 5 times on this, doubting you'll get a direct response either. That would back him (or her) into a corner and all.

I have tried to answer your questions thoughtfully and without malice, I am getting bombarded by 1000 gotchas by a dozen people, I have answered every question out there.

I dont have any answer, except to say after the process of birthing a child is complete, but for ****s and giggles I can use detached from the cord, does this change anything?

We are close. For the record, I have no intention to weigh in on the validity of his/her opinion. Just want it to be as specific as others.

Biology has variability, but the line must be established somewhere or no further conversation can ever be productive.

A 2.5 inch fetus with barely developed brain and organs dying extremely quickly vs a full sized baby with much more development (even if in a horrible way) being kept on a guesstimate or fatal dose of anesthesia for hours or days? And that's to blindly assume such a baby isn't actively suffering from these defects in the womb.

It's not even close

It does, actually. But per my prior post, I will go back to lurking and be pleased that you finally placed a piece on the table.

At the least, you have now been for more good faith in your discussion than most pro-choice people I've ever talked about this with.

You have no way of knowing that.

And what if one doctor says it's condition is not fatal but another one says it is? Then what? They just doctor shop until they find one that is willing to take money to give her permission to kill the kid?

Wow.
I would prefer late term abortions be illegal, but as stated in the beginning, this is not the radical rights goal, the goal is to outlaw all abortion and to prosecute any abortion as murder. I believe that to be a really really really bad idea
