Thoughts on abortion?
84 Replies
I was raised Christian, and both of my parents are nurses who, at one time or another have had to deal with girls who had been raped and didn't want a child, so this subject is kind of controversial…Continue

Übereil replied to Alicia Mackee's discussion Thoughts on abortion?"My guess is that that wasn't said in connection to your views on religion. Having seen you debate religion for almost three years my initial assession stands: trying to convince you on this isn't likely to succeed. You're far from the…"
Pardeep Dhaliwal replied to Alicia Mackee's discussion Thoughts on abortion?"I think most people would call that high brain capacity genetic superiority, but I guess I'm just not cynical enough."
Vertigo_One [Ops Mod] replied to Alicia Mackee's discussion Thoughts on abortion?"Well since I've been described as exceptionally open minded on here several times, try me. I'll listen to whatever you say, does not mean I will nessecarly agree with it, but part of being a Christian is being honest. So I'm not going…"
Übereil replied to Alicia Mackee's discussion Thoughts on abortion?"I'm not interested in finding you 1 and 2, because I hold no illusions that I'll manage to convince you even if I do. My brother has a friend who saw evidence she genuinely agreed with - and even at that point she didn't/couldn't…"
Fake Crowley replied to Alicia Mackee's discussion Thoughts on abortion?"Self awareness occurs, at the earliest, during the second trimester, when the first brainwaves appear."
Fake Crowley replied to Alicia Mackee's discussion Thoughts on abortion?""It is a seperate human being."
:D Don't care.
Humans are just ugly meatsacks.
Consciousness, on the other hand, is worth preserving, but humans? Humans are just genetically inferiour apes with high brain…"
Vertigo_One [Ops Mod] replied to Alicia Mackee's discussion Thoughts on abortion?"Alright, let's call it a separate human being; but it has no conscious will or desires. There is measurable brain activity, but it is not articulated thought. A fetus is not self-aware.
Self awareness is a fairly arbitary standard by…"
Fake Crowley replied to Alicia Mackee's discussion Thoughts on abortion?"Agreed one hundred percent.
You can't just ignore a good percentage of the votes because they're influenced by religion. That's not what separation of Church and State is. To add to this, just because some Theists are Pro-Life…"
Vertigo_One [Ops Mod] replied to Alicia Mackee's discussion Thoughts on abortion?"1. Show me where? Every contradiction I've seen is generally a result of either misunderstanding or lack of context
2. Show me where? I've yet to see any logical inconsistancies.
3. No, but we can verify that he meets several of the…"
Übereil replied to Alicia Mackee's discussion Thoughts on abortion?"For one, it's contradictory, for two it's logically inconsistent, for three, we can't verify that what's said in the Bible actually is the word of God, for four, even if it is the word of God we can't verify a lot of the…"
Vertigo_One [Ops Mod] replied to Alicia Mackee's discussion Thoughts on abortion?"Purely using our own reasoning, we perhaps would come to the conclusion that the earth is flat. Untill we are shown by people with more knowledge than us, or shown by having the knowledge explained to us, will we know the earth is a sphere. In the…"
Übereil replied to Alicia Mackee's discussion Thoughts on abortion?"Why? If your own reasoning tells you something and the Bible tells you something else, why should you go with what the Bible tells you? That's what you should be considering, not some red herring that it's insulting to christians."
Vertigo_One [Ops Mod] replied to Alicia Mackee's discussion Thoughts on abortion?"When a woman becomes pregnant, she also becomes the source of life for the fetus. In that sense, the fetus almost becomes an extension of her body. It lives and operates within her body. Yes, the fetus develops it's own body and organs and…"
Vertigo_One [Ops Mod] replied to Alicia Mackee's discussion Thoughts on abortion?"I'm pro-choice. There's something called separation of church and state.
I agree, but I don't think Abortion's criminalisation would be an example of legislating religion. People could believe it inspired by religion, but…"
Frida Backman replied to Alicia Mackee's discussion Thoughts on abortion?"I'm pro-choice. There's something called separation of state and church. There's a few sick and cruel amendments that I think only mental right extremists would call acceptable. Like amendment 62. No rape pregnancy abortions, no…"
