To me its cut and dry. Whenever the fetus’s survival no longer pivots on co-existence in a parasitic biological interaction then it is no longer a parasite and becomes “human”. Basically, when you can pull that little fetus out of the womb and hook it up to some machines and shit and have it live… If you can pull it out of the womb(lets have a 4month old fetus as an example) and through no miracle of medical science have it any hopes of living, it is still a parasite. If you can pull it out of the womb(lets call this fetus 8months) and hook it up to a machine and have that little bastard live… Ect. Of course, I THINK the state defines this transition as the third trimester.

See, I didn’t ask, “What conditions change?” I asked, "What changes?

In one moment it is a parasite. In the next, it becomes a child. What about the organism itself changed in that moment? Please answer.
[/quote]

I. Just. Did. After the 2nd trimester the parasite no longer requires the host for survival. In that, its removal does is not synonymous with its death(an unrelated solution to the problem of it being a bastard offspring that nobody wants). This brings up a conundrum of what to do with this unwanted, now premature baby. And since your crowd doesn’t put its money where its mouth is a provide shelter for them, I am in favor of restricting abortions to the first 2 trimesters. If you didn’t understand what I said that time, don’t bother asking a 3rd time(not to sound hostile, it’s just I answered you directly both times).

PS It never goes from parasite to “child” within the womb. The fetus stays a parasitic organism until the moment the umbilical cord is cut. [/quote]

Soooo, is someone on life support a parasite?[/quote]

Is life support an organism? What the fuck… -_- No but a pregnant women is a host organism for a parasitic fetus… This is getting banal.

Noz really, because when it comes to biology you have no ground to stand on, because offspring is definitely not a parasite.

If the principle is however that noone has a right to live at someones elses expense against that someone elses will, we would have quite a few things to discuss.

I do not consider myself pro-choice and the choice is whether or not to have sex. I am pro life. It is about not murdering.

The choice to have sex is to prevent pregnancy. You know that if you have sex there might be a baby. If you don’t want a baby, do not have sex. There is an exception to every rule. A woman that is raped did not decide to have sex. Yes, that is correct. But if she is pregnant then she is going to be a mommy. I do not believe that her rape justifies her killing her baby.

Fuck this pro-choice, anti-abortion bullshit. Stop playing their word games.

I’ll be proud to be an anti-abortionist any day of the week, 52 weeks out of a year. My great grand daddy was anti-slavery. I don’t see anyone talking shit about him being anti-something. But, I decided to defend the life of an innocent child and now I’m anti-choice. Guess, what…fuck yeah I am. I’m pro-choice and anti-choice at the same time.

I’ll list a short list of shit I’m against:
murder
rape
genocide
theft
child abuse

Shit I’m pro-choice about:
religion
freedom
having the say so to have sex or not
owning land
defending yourself

Okay. So you admit that there is no physical transformation that occurs within the organism itself. The only thing that changes are its conditions. If you disagree, I’m sorry to inform you that you’ve already played your trump card. There is no “louder” function than the CAPS LOCK key. The only option you’ve left yourself with is to actually answer the question.

Oh wow this has now gone from banal to comical. You do not give up on the same question no matter how many times I answer it.

I cannot believe what you are typing. You have taken selective reading to a completely new level… I might as well not even respond to you as you so clearly only hear what you want… Fucking scary. Your trying to pull something out of me that I am not saying while rejecting what I actually am saying.

To be honest however I saw this trait waaaay back when I told you that you were clever with your questions. I didn’t lie when I said that but think about what I was really implying there…

Just looking for a yes or a no. Not that hard.

No, there was no need to go towards it, we were always there.

These are your words deorum - “Using this logic if she doesn’t choose to have sex she doesn’t assume the responsibility of parenthood and abortion becomes justified for her.” Wrong, abortion is NEVER justified. If a girl does not want to get pregnant, then she can avoid the whole situation by NOT HAVING sex. Amazing, I know!! When she doesn’t want to be responsible, she simply does not have sex. This world is NOT about immediate gratification. There is one method that guarantees she will NOT become pregnant. If she wants sex, she assumes the responsibilities.

If you want to argue for the less than one percent of the total, well please explain to me how a violent act is made better by another, even more violent act?

BTW the word parasite does NOT apply. You can look the word up in a dictionary. Here is the word for you in case you lack the ability to do this simple task, all on your own. This was taken from: PARASITE Definition & Usage Examples | Dictionary.com and I placed the applicable words in bold for for you, this was also the first definition found.

par·a·site - an organism that lives on or in an [u]organism of another species[/u], known as the host, from the body of which it obtains nutriment.

When you want to change the definition of a word, you have to do way more than just use it because you want to word to mean something. Because you speak English, use the applicable word. If you refuse, I simply refuse to address your points.

But I already responded to that question in a different word form. It doesn’t make the act any better, however it can be justified. Ironically it can be justified using the very logic you are using to argue against it; you are saying because the women decides to have sex she assumes the responsibility of parenthood. Using this logic if she doesn’t choose to have sex she doesn’t assume the responsibility of parenthood and abortion becomes justified for her. I wouldn’t use this logic at all but I cannot see how those using it can overlook that gaping flaw.[/quote]

No, It is just I am not ignoring any 1% of anything here… While you are. I’m not speaking for any 1% I just wanted to bring attention to an instance that you insist on ignoring because it destroys your logic.

That is what you are saying right? We should ignore rape and assume that all sex is consensual so that your theory has some sort of integrity? Well you can’t do that, sorry to say. That is not how logic works… You can’t just ignore things when they contradict yourself -_-"

The problem with throwing rape into the argument is that it doesn’t go against the fact that no innocent person should be hurt or killed at anytime. It gives more evidence that it is true. Your revolt towards rape is the same revolt in which others find about hurting other forms of innocent persons including unborn children.

One - I am NOT upset in the least. I am upset when people believe they have a right to kill someone who does not fit in their life plan. I am Catholic btw. Two - yes it is fruitless to argue some causes. I choose to come here and defend life because at the very least other people on the fence can read this discussion and make their own minds up with the information and logic shown. Besides going on marches, talking with whom ever will listen and writing on these forums. Where am I partaking in an action which is fruitless? Sorry, but the silent screams of the world deserves at least me writing on these boards. If others disagree, they do not have to read these words shrug

I challenge anyone to prove to me the embryo is NOT alive and separate from the mother at the very moment of conception.

Size, level of development, environment and degree of dependency, together define the difference between ALL people of the world . . . . including the unborn.

Look at the last page–it’s pretty much all “fuck you” “no, fuck you!” “No FUCK YOU” back and forth.

[/quote]

No worries, I did not take it directed at me. I am as guilty as anyone here, both in the past and in this thread as my patience wore thin! Fine example I set haha :confused: .

But this is why I generally try to avoid these arguments now. There was a time not so long ago when I would have jumped into all of them–religious, political, and otherwise–with both feet. I like to think, I like to learn, and I like to have my views challenged. It either makes me change them or improve my rationale to adjust my current position.

However, I have too much stress in my life to want to get upset in an internet forum anymore. And besides that, I have found that there are few issues as divisive as religion and politics (or abortion!)…and I generally hate the devolvement into internet shouting wars that occurs with them. If there were a magical place where the threads stayed civil and well thought out, I would probably be a much heavier contributor.

In short, I am trying to preserve what little remains of my own sanity.

I do not recall, but I think you are a Christian from previous posts (incorrect?). In a nutshell, I am trying to follow their directive to “not argue for arguments sake” or " do not engage in fruitless arguments" more closely. I forget exactly what phrase was used but if I remember right it was probably Paul that said it, and probably somewhere in Proverbs too. It just doesn’t gain anyone anything and more often than not it makes you angry and less likely to be a good representative.

Watch out, that thing from lil ol’ kiwi land down under told me it was called a ‘spanner argument’. The funny thing, bet the term is not even understand and how it would be applicable in the discussion at hand. With nearly fourteen thousand posts tied to his name, he provided nothing more to add, just one more of his posts that mean nothing.

He could tell us about that pokemon game though! I sure as fuck know nothing about that. That could be one area where makky could teach me something. I’ll wait right here for the thing to peep up again and show me how to play that mindless dribble he knows so much about . . . .

Or he might come forward with an actual source for his mindless dumb fuck rants, but I doubt it. Now that would surprise me! lol

Abortion is easy to argue against when everyone you know has had a great life and you think everyone deserves the chance for that.

Truth is, not everyone is born with that as a possibility. Some mothers realize that and want to spare their children.

What quality of life is worth being born for? Would you want your mother to have you if she knew this was what you would face for the entirety of your existence?


If the mother knows her child will be economically disadvantaged and she will place her child at risk by her own behaviors, do you really say “Too bad. That was the mother’s choice. The child still has a right to live”? When you are not going to take her in and protect her from her mother selling the child’s body for drugs? (and let’s face it, you aren’t or you would already be)

I suppose you are also against suicide once the child has seen/experienced things that they will never fully recover from, hates their own life, and has given up hope of surviving any other way than what they saw their parents do. Then you get mad when they bust your BMW window in and hook your own kids on drugs so they can make a little cash.

There are many threads on whether the mother has the right to choose to kill, yet none that I saw about what to do when the life circumstances the mother knew she was baring her children into are threatening to kill.

I’m glad my mother didn’t “spare” me. Live is worth living, what’s the alternative? Being dead, no thanks.
