Abortion is murder

[factotum]

So, I thought I'd post this here, as I didn't know where else to post it. Abortion is murder. I actually believe that, and I'd appreciate your thoughts here, on that.

Killing bacteria is murder. So long as your slinging words around promiscuously, the words come to mean nothing.

So many women in need of serious jail time. maybe even the death penalty. Could be your own daughter or mother or wife, who knows.

Killing braincells is murder.

And this thread... Probably not worth the popcorn - certainly not the cellular price of admission.

That's true. Women murder so many innocent bacteria every cleaning day. Lethal injections are too good for them.

I've never heard this argument before. Never.

"Abortion is murder" does have the advantage of being rather simple enough for a mental ant to understand.

I wouldn't support the death penalty, as two wrongs don't make a right. Life imprisonment doesn't sound bad to me though. And, yes, I'm quite willing to see my Mom go away for murder. Sorry if you aren't.

I suppose you're also one of those people who thinks having seven billion humans on a planet with a finite carrying capacity is a brilliant idea as well...

I agree with this logic. Save the planet, abort everything.

I see, so your average "bacteria" is going to grow up to be a man or woman? Just checking.

Wars for resources are also a great idea.

What about women who spontaneously abort their fetuses. Would you send them away for life too?

Well, controlling birth rates is definitely a better solution than mass murder or letting the rest of nature cull is in the fashion it sees fit. Abortion is one tool in that box.

But I'm up for compromise. You guys can outlaw abortion. Go ahead. In exchange, you pay to give everyone equal access birth control of any form (including sterilization). In the case of those failing, you pay 18 years of childrearing expenses for those who didn't want to bear that child. Sounds fair to me.

Brilliant idea indeed! Things could get interesting, no?

 

[Guitar's Cry]

A living being cannot continue living without participating in death - an essential part of this creative and dynamic process. We all murder.

War and famine are extremely interesting, no?

Nope. If it's spontaneous, you're not at fault.
