She is a woman and you are not. Who is more qualified to answer that one?

To her it could be the same. Just different in numbers.

What has being a women have to do with it? Why is a women more qualified to answer? You mean women feel stronger about the death of a fetus that a man? Were did the ever get those ideas? 10 humans killed is always worse than one as more suffering is involved, more loss to family and friends.

You challenged her in a discussion thread (not debate thread) I simply said when it comes to matters of abortion I am sure she is more qualified to define what it means to her, than you are.
Post your opinion as you did and move on.

That might depend on the method of death as well. If 10 people died peacefully in their sleep, would the grief of their loved ones be equal with that of a mother who's son had been skinned alive?

I'm not saying it wouldn't, I'm just saying that method is a possible factor.

No you did not, you said "being a women" she is more qualified, nothing about her personal opinion, go back and read your own post.

People trying to control (and in essence own) other people. (EDIT... and also nature itself).

Via force, economics, money, govt., societal systems, tradition, marriage, religion, coersion... whatever.

This to me is mankinds biggest atrocity.
(it is behind every other atrocity as well)

Better question, who is deserving of death?

Obviously all victims of the Nazis.. Gypsies, Gays, Jews, Communists, disabled, prisoners of war, millions of children and civilians had some grave sin marked into them that they had to pay for.

So a fetus, a mere mass of cells lacking sentience, sapience, consciousness, awareness, thought, emotion or any other quality that defines personhood, is "sacred", but once they're born and become an actual, real person, then they're a horrible retched creature who deserves death and damnation just for breathing the outside air, eh?

I would say the the biggest atrocity is not the acts of torture and murder themselves, but rather humanity's own collective ignorance and apathy that enables and perpetuates such crimes, allowing them to occur repeatedly.

I don't think it ever really had a chance. I mean the whole thing's predicated on the idea that farming and building are somehow better than hunting and fishing.
