I don't care to go down any road with you. It amazes me that you care more about murderers than innocent human life, but that's your position and you are the one that has to justify it.



why does opposing the DP mean i have compassion for murderers? that's not my logic on that at all.

i don't think the Bible is NOT a source of authority, i just don't want a christian caliphate.

"...innocent [cells] ought to be protected" (that's another way to look at this)

do you really want to talk about this with your view of the DP?

I didn't say you had compassion on murderers, I said that you care more about them then you do the innocent unborn. And I will talk about this with my views of the death penalty any day of the week. I understand that you can't wrap your mind around that, but I really don't care, especially considering that you would be so stupid as to compare people who respect innocent human life to a group of fascists who believe the exact opposite.

Many of the same people who are so concerned about saving bundles of cells don't seem to have the same concern about young men and women being sent to their death in Iraq. It is a case of selective morals.

my friend took this pill once (got it from planned parent hood after having an abortion).

it makes you super sick to your stomach--cramping, nausea, vomiting. it wiped her out for an entire day. she said after going through it, she'd make sure she wouldnt have to take another pill. so, i say it's a good idea to make it available.




(a) Yeah, that sounds rough - not quite as bad as ceasing to exist, though.

(b) I'm not sure I understand the logic. Your friend terminated an unwanted pregnancy, then received this product, which she took later to terminate or prevent another unwanted pregnancy. After taking this product, she had a hysterectomy/tubes tied/prescription filled for birth control, in order to avoid taking it again. She did so because of the side effects.

First, isn't it odd that having the traditional abortion itself did not provide a similar motivation? Second, you think that it is a good thing that this is available because of the uncomfortable side effects, not because it is effective at ending/preventing pregnancies?




well, if you get an abortion early enough, aside from the emotions, it is not that painful. my friend liekened it to getting a lengthy pap smear. And 15 minutes later or however long it took, you'rs done. not that bad if you weren't emotionally involved in it.

i'm not condoning abortion or the morning after pill (which literally needs to be taken within so many hours of unprotected sex, and who's to say there was fertilization anyway?) but i do think that most girls who take it will make sure they won't have to take it a second time after goign through the horrible side-effects. the morning after pill affects them directly, not just the fertilized egg.

Most importantly:

It was her body and her choice. She alone will have to answer for what she did and no one else needs to be concerned about it. Thanks for sharing, Dip.

People die when nations make the decision to go to war. Unless you want to argue that no war is ever just, you are in a logical dead-end here.

I'm very concerned about young men and women being sent to Iraq to face death, but didn't they have a choice to enlist or not enlist?

You can be as flippant as you like, Ron. The fact is, you are nothing more than a bigger cellular cluster that has been given more time to develop.

The reason I respect life certainly is certainly informed by my beliefs. Why do you believe murder ought to be a crime? The reason I favor the death penalty (and I've written this at least 15 times, I can't believe you have to ask again, Mr. Revenge) is because I believe that society must enforce the ultimate penalty for the ultimate crime (taking innocent human life). Doing anything less lowers the value attached to innocent life.

Your side of the argument appears to believe that human life is insignificant, yes.

ok, so what happens to the egg when the lining of the uterus does whatever it does to prevent the pregnancy??? somewhere along the line, the possibly fertilized egg dies (yes, its living, maybe it doesnt have a soul, but it is living cells) as a result of takign the pill.

Nice distinction - I didn't starve my newborn, I just affected it's access to nutrition.

So the gangle of cells in an egg do not deserve any rights, but the gaggle of cells in a Zygote deserve protection. Both, given the right circumstances (sprem and time for one, time for the other) will grow into human beings.

Why not protect the rights of the egg? Why allow birth control of any kind, since that would interfere with the right of that egg to potentially grow into a human being?

Both are not human beings - an egg is simply a woman's reproductive cell, no different in classification from a sperm cell. Once fertilized, however, it is a separate, distinct, and complete human being in its earliest stage of development.

Straw, you know this. I hope that you are asking so that others can read and understand, not simply to be argumentative.

A fertilized egg is a complete human being? You are certainly entitled to your opinion, but I think that many people would disagree. I would say that it is genetically human, but it is a human blastocyst, which IF it attaches to the uterus and IF it develops will become a human being at some point.

I would say when it is viable. Others may disagree, as I'm sure you do.
