It's a hard issue to grapple just because of the emotional baggage it carries, but also because there's still much to be learned about what makes someone a person.

I'm still grasping how people can state a fetus, especially first trimester, is a person. I could see a decent argument for third and even second trimesters, but first... Come on, don't fuck with a nigga!

I would support a person's right to kill a one month old infant, if need be. 

I would support killing a person killing infants, if need be.

Well, let's be glad you most likely will never have to deal with such a situation.  Because I'd rather not have to kill you. 

All because someone started murdering...

Yes, I'd be sorry you felt you had to take that step.   

I'm sorry you're insane and think murdering babies isn't murder, and thus, started it all.

My invitation for you to show me that a fetus is a person by a decent ethical argument or some compelling evidence is still open. Just stand and deliver as you have my attention.

I did, my post still stands as he has yet to answer me in the other thread. I thought the quoted reply would grab his attention.

?  I responded to the accusation that I would kill someone for committing an abortion.  The assertion was wholly inaccurate, as I demonstrated.

Ken, read a few posts up.

Do you have proof that aborting a fetus is murder? You can choose to constrain it to the second and third trimesters or add other provisions.

Why would I need proof?  I never suggested hurting anyone murdering fetuses?

Because you're asserting a positive claim that it is murder much like a religious nut asserts his particular faith is the only true faith without any proof.

It's clear to me that it's murder, because it's clear to me the fetus is human.

My eye ball is human, but that doesn't mean I'm murdering it by its removal. Humanness != Personness.

Link to the thread or it didn't happen. Plus such claims have been discussed numerous times by bio-ethicists and they're still split about it. So, how you can claim some magical insight greater than anyone else on this issue without proof is pretty fucking arrogant on your part.

Especially when you consider the facts regarding the question of what allows for thought in all animals and possible future AI-synthetics.

I'm not your errand boy...precisely the reason I'm not going to rehash that old thread.

Then I'll consider this your admission that you have no proof to provide. Thanks for the lack of an intelligent conversation. *clicks iggy*

If you think it's okay to murder babies in the womb because they aren't completely intelligent, then I guess it's okay to murder retards too.
