Abortion - is it wrong?

[9-10ths_Penguin]

Why do you all think that by saying abortion is "wrong", pro-lifers are saying it should be banned?

Paranoid?

A "pro-lifer" who says that abortion is wrong but should not be banned is actually pro-choice.

 

[Kilgore Trout]

By that "logic", we should not ban mass-murder to spare the feelings of the mass-murderers' family.

Right, that's the point - it's faulty and ridiculous logic. Now put two and two together...

 

[Father Heathen]

If mankind can dis-associate from and destroy its' own young by calling them less than human, how much easier to call "non-human" those we dislike....blacks, mexicans and let's not forget those sub-human jews!

What do you hope to achieve by regurgitating the exact same argument that has already been thoroughly refuted earlier in this very thread?

I don't think people who make such arguments are thinking that far ahead.

 

[Father Heathen]

I don't think people who make such arguments are thinking that far ahead.

It's as if they're pull string automatons.

Ha - I'm going to be visualizing that quite often from now on.

So you agree then that the logic is nonsense?

Logic has no place in opinion.


From Psalms 139:

16 Your eyes saw even the embryo of me,
And in your book all its parts were down in writing,

 

[Kilgore Trout]

Logic has no place in opinion.

If only more posters would admit this.

 

[Father Heathen]

Logic has no place in opinion.

Opinions based on solid logic are more valid than those that are not.

 

[espo35]

A "pro-lifer" who says that abortion is wrong but should not be banned is actually pro-choice.

That's a really valid point. I wish to impose my will on noone, nor do I vote. It's the murdering of babies I don't like.

I suppose I am pro-choice, then.

I'll get a T-shirt made.

 

[espo35]

Opinions based on solid logic are more valid than those that are not.

Absolutely not. An opinion, by definition, is NOT an argument.

Only an argument can be valid or invalid.

In Logic, there is no such animal as "more valid"... It is or it isn't valid.

 

[Father Heathen]

It's the murdering of babies I don't like.

What does this have to do with the thread topic?

I'll stop with it when you stop rehashing your moronic hand-washing analogy!

 

[Father Heathen]

People put forth their opinions as arguments, obviously.

Gee...I don't know.:run:

 

[espo35]

People put forth their opinions as arguments, obviously.

And rather foolishly, to boot!

 

[Kilgore Trout]

Gee...I don't know.:run:

You might want to think before responding next time then.

 

[Father Heathen]

And rather foolishly, to boot!

Don't be so hard on yourself.

 

[Father Heathen]

Gee...I don't know.:run:

There's a lot you obviously don't.

 

[Kilgore Trout]

Don't be so hard on yourself.

The ability to be self-critical is fundamental to honesty, so don't disuade him.
