six.. holden explained it.   It is not immoral to drink.   It is immoral to drink till you can barely function and then get into a car and hurt someone.

I am not sure that it is immoral to destroy an embryo but I feel it is immoral to destroy a viable human being who is innocent and causing no threat to anyone.

to simply say that if you can't see it then it's not a human is wishy washy in the extreme.   No no... that is just fat or a tumor...  It doesn't look like a person to me....

cowardly?  yeah... cowardly pretty much describes it.

If we are overcrowded and need to thin the population then we could start with the prisons.   Legal firms could be thinned considerably as could polititions.

Well, then we agree that the more you drink, the less morals you have?

There is a group here that, on one hand says that it is the murder of a fetus and it is wrong, then on the other hand says it is ok to murder a fetus in another situation. If you are going to argue that it is the murder of an innocent fetus, how can you say it is ok to murder a fetus in the same sentence? Talk about walking the fence huh?

As you state many times lazs, any partial ban leads to more bans. Like if you ban assault rifles, then they try to ban more and more guns til you can no longer choose to own a gun

six.. are you being intentionaly dense?

once you start drinking you can either drink respossibly or not.  the way you act is the moral or imoral part of it.  If you kill or injure someone I do not believe that drinking is a good excuse.   millions of people drink every day in a very moral way.

On abortion...  a fetus to me is the baby that can't survive outside the mothers womb... it is a viable human after that.    It is not a "ban" to tell people that they can't kill innocent and viable human beings for no good reason.

get it?

I might be wrong, but I suspect that they don't call the procedure an abortion after the fetus is viable. At this point, I think it's a cesarean section.

i believe the stats are something like 90% are preformed before the first 16 weeks, only 1% are after 20 weeks.

fetus viability starts around 24-28 weeks.

Ceasarian section is a surgical procedure opening the abdomen to give birth bypassing a natural vaginal birth.  

Partial Birth Abortion is a procedure pretty much specific to late term pregnancy, in the secondand third trimesters after viability is achieved.

Viability is technology specific.  A 24 week old fetus would not be viable without some extraordinary neo-natal care.

In other words, viability is not achieved during the 2nd Trimester.

AFAICT, there aren't any doctors that will perform a D&X on a viable, healthy fetus. Anyone have any facts to the contrary?

But millions drink in an immoral way, and have immoral sex leading to unwanted pregnancy, leading to abortion. We need to stop all this immorality!!

No, 'we' as in government don't.

Yes, 'we' as in individuals need to take personal responsibility for our personal actions. If you present me with a moral dillema that affects my life, expect me to do something about it. I assure you I will neither wish or require any assistance from government in solving the issue of your responsibility for it..

six.... how do you drink in an immoral way other than to do it to the point that you cause problems for others and where do you get that sex is immoral?  There is nothing immoral about sex between consenting sane adults in my book.

torque... if those numbers are true then I only have a problem with... what did you say?  1% of the abortions that are performed on viable human beings.

that is the legal heathen threshold iirc depending on your govt.

post natal care, a newborn's viability is achieved when it moves out and gets a job.

the girls who throw their newborns in the dumpster are proving that the little parasite couldn't survive on it's own and.... exercising their right to choose.

Nice straw man.


Many states have laws that allow a woman to freely and legally abandon their newborn children at certain designated areas. Anyone that puts one in a dumpster probably isn't quite right in the head.
