PSALM 139:13-14

For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.

Why is saying that OSAS makes people lazy "flaming?"

Because it is like saying guns kill people, when actualy it is people who kill people. The doctrine like the gun, is just being used inappropriately. It isan egregiously gross over-simplification and a dangerously misleading generalization.

To judge a doctrine by the people who profess it is equaly unsound.

Interesting that if pregnancy is wanted the term used by the parents is baby; if unwanted it is called a fetus or product of conception by the parents.

I personally can't accept abortion as a "choice" to abandon a life.

Indeed not. The antiabortion argument is not based on facts.

it doesn’t equate to a different product, it does therefore equate to the same product.

No it doesn't.

Question... if you bought from me sight unseen a hundred metric tonnes of prime furniture oakheartwood, and I showed up with a handful of acorns, would you be satisfied that I was giving you your money's worth, or might you ask for a refund?

Its not a person either.

The issue is that potential does NOT equate with actuality.
