Then, your pro-abortion stance is quite excusable.
You just spent 219 years without a head, after all.

Holy shit, she was nuts… That was before the abortion. She was plain, flat koo-koo, abortion had nothing to do with it.

I like how you guys use the term “pro-abortion” as though we go around with coat-hangers pro-actively engaging in ‘feticide’.

It’s telling of your manipulative, emotionally driven argument tactics; but I guess that’s only to be expected from the ‘anti-freedom’ side of the debate. See? I can play games too.

On a more personal level, I was under the impression that you are not religious, so what’s your beef with abortion?

You’re either for abortion or against it. If you are for it, you are pro-abortion. The term pro-choice technically doesn’t mean anything, you could be talking about ice cream. If you are for abortion then be proud and definitive of your stance, don’t hide behind silly words or slogans that have no real meaning.

Exactly, its like being pro-war or anti-war. You either love killing people in other countries or your completely against it in all cases. There is no grey area.

Bad analogy.
If every 12yo+ woman could legally declare war, i would be as “anti-war” as i am “anti-abortion”.

Now you’re just a sexist misogynist pig. I think all women should declare war if they choose to.

That’s in the first few pages of the thread. Keep in mind that Kamui’s posts are aren’t long-winded so you can just skim those pages looking for his post without spending much time.

Tigertime posted in the first few pages of the thread. He read my posts, and he answered them.
He already know my position of this topic. He just can’t accept that i don’t need a religion to be against the legalization of abortion.
Probably because it doesn’t fit his own stereotypes.

Did I?

… hold on.

Well I’ll be damned. And here I though the “killing” thread was the first time we’ve ever had a conversation.

But it seems your memory is only slightly better than mine as our short exchange (and I’m talking only-4-or-5-posts-long short) was on the topic of whether or not one could determine the conciousness of another living thing (specifically a fetus/ young child). You never actually told me your position on the matter and honestly I assumed you were pro-choice and simply splitting hairs (rather fine hairs at that). I didn’t read any of your other posts. Actually those are probably the first posts of yours I’ve ever read, at least that I can remember.

As for the matter of my ‘stereotypes’, I would actually prefer that you don’t appeal to God when arguing against legalized abortions. The fact of the matter is, your position is easier to tare apart when you agree to the constraints of logic.

So no, me asking why you oppose abortions is not due to any inability to accept a non-religious answer, just the opposite actually, but that’s a nice jump in conclusions.

If you don’t want to tell me why, that’s fine; However, I do issue the challenge to you to debate me on this topic.

Your move.

Wrong right off the bat. There’s a difference between being always ‘for’ abortion (pro-abortion) and being ‘for’ the woman’s choice (hence, pro-choice).

It’s actually pretty simple so long as you’re not a stubborn jack-ass about it.

I’m “pro-abortion” in the same way you’re “anti-freedom”. Both labels are equally inaccurate. While ‘pro-abortion’ implies I am always in favour of abortion and not simply in favour of the freedom for a woman to choose for herself, ‘anti-freedom’ implies you are always against freedom and not just against a woman’s freedom to chose to get an abortion or not.

If you want to call me ‘pro-abortion’, so be it, but then you have no right to complain when I say you’re ‘anti-freedom’.

How do I ignore the reality of human nature? I hold a view of human nature that has been proven to be true for coming on 2000+ years.

I hang out on the biggest college campuses all day for a living. Pretty exposed to different types of people*, but I’ll make sure to hang out with more different people.

However, I’d like to know why you believe that I’m insulated and need exposure to different types of people?

I agree. My girlfriend is a pediatrician with a focus on adolescent medicine. Turns out it’s surprisingly hard to get kids to use protection in the first place. “Do you use protection?” “Um… sometimes” That’s the common answer.

I really don’t think abortion is a good excuse for “I’m an idiot and didn’t use protection because I didn’t think I’d actually get pregnant.”

But I also don’t think liposuction is a good excuse for “I’m an idiot and didn’t pay attention to my diet when my doctor told me I should.”

It’s a procedure, and is inherently neither right or wrong. It’s the when/how/why that I have issues with.[/quote]

Lol…what? Just because it is a procedure does not mean that it lacks inherent goodness or badness.
