You're such a fruit and vegetable killer, should we sentence you to death for it?

I did also.
Until they fell seriously short of the standard they set for them selves.
Now it is mostly grade school "I know you are but what am I?"
makes a person wanna cry in the corner.
I'd say it is closer to "neener, neener, neener." Still in the schoolyard taunting genre.
Sad.

Not me. You have the wrong person. I don't eat fruits or veggies. JustGeorge can probably tell you that.

Only about fruits and veggies. My apologies. Tagged removed.
Ah a meat eater, So you are a killer of life with more sentience than the clump of cells certain republicans would have fully grown people killed for ending the life of?

What I kill isn't and will never be human. So your point?
Why would Wether it's human be the deciding factor as opposed to whether it has conscious awareness of pain? I believe the side using reason and compassion is not the side that wants to label a clump of cells similar to the "human" cells you would kill if you had your appendix removed as being a "killer" of a "human".

What I kill isn't and will never be human. There is nothing human about it. Not one part.
How do you know fruits and veggies don't have a level of conscious that we yet don't understand.
Plants and trees are aware of their environment. Studies have shown that.
Irrelevant.

Technically you and I are just a clump of cells.
We are a sentient clump of cells with conscious awareness of pain and in my view that makes all the difference.

What about plants?
"recent experiments suggest plants may have the ability to learn and make decisions."
The radical new experiments that hint at plant consciousness
It’s a wild idea, but recent experiments suggest plants may have the ability to learn and make decisions. Are the claims true and if so, what does it mean for our understanding of consciousness and the human mind?
"Today, extensive research confirms that plants possess human-level intelligence and consciousness beyond that. They can feel pain and interact with the environment in sophisticated ways. Plants can communicate through unique songs and chatter in an ultrasound range, not audible to the human ear"
PLANT CONSCIOUSNESS
The day I witnessed my majestic cypress trees, which I planted seven years earlier, being cut down to the earth, I grieved. My neighbors had warned me about this impending day. These beautiful trees…
"No longer can we think of plants as passive or inert; they are continually sensing and responding to their environments"
What Is It Like to Be a Plant?
Plants acting with agency, wolf symbolism, therapeutic art, and more books out now
You can also google the smell of fresh cut grass is a warning. Or crown shyness in trees.

How would this apply to the clump of cells affected by for example the morning after pill?What about plants?

I have no problem with the morning after pill. I think it should be available for free. I don't consider that an abortion. Its later abortions that I don't care for.
As for what my post has to do with...
As I said earlier about plants being more than what we think.
Good, but what the morning after pill kills is "human"
So would you do nothing to prevent theocrats who do consider that an abortion from sentencing users of the morning after pill to death? Thats the kind of people I would vote against even coming to power in the first place.
What is the line in the sand for you?

Change of course...
Let me tell you a true story...
Back when I was in my late teens I knew a girl who by 19 had four kids and was pregnant with a fifth. She never practiced safe sex but also would not have an abortion. She and all of her kids were on welfare. All of her kids had different dads. The state made her get a hysterectomy after he fifth child was born.
What are your thoughts on that.

Put it this way....
I have known a few people and heard of others who had funerals and or burials for abortions and/or miscarriages of around 8-10 weeks old fetuses. So that alone says a lot to me.
But to you this isn't human.
I'm not sure what you mean, please elaborate.
My thoughts are that it appears irrelevant and I didn't know the state intervenes in these matters, so a citation of some sort would be helpful.
As for the having different dads I see no reason why it makes a difference. If she had 5 of welfare kids to one father I would syspect she is transgressing the social contract through either greed for more kids or a religious delusion that contraceptives are sinful.

The story was the change of course.
It was over 45 years ago. I doubt I could find a citation.
Really? So a young teen having five kids with five different fathers isn't alarming to you?
