    If abortion is murder, how come you eat animals?

    Its okay to kill and eat animals because animals aren't persons. Its not okay to kill (and eat) your son or daughter because your son or daughter is a person and their person hood is inherent in their being human. Its not the same, For animals its merely 'inhumane' or 'cruelty'. For humans its...

    Abortion

    why is it incorrect? How are your biological offspring not your child? Even now, being 23, I am the biological offspring of my mother, I am her child. All children have an equal right to an appropriate environment that aids them into the next level of maturity-in this case the environment that...

    Abortion

    Biological offspring in need is not a stranger in need. The first, parents have an obligation too, the second, they do not.

    Abortion

    I mean, for me, I believe that the unborn-all the unborn of pregnant women-are offspring and the pregnant women is the biological parent of the unborn. For me that means that all parents have an obligation to that being's welfare not matter how hard or inconvenient it is to them, more than any...

    Abortion

    Hiya. Me again. I tried reading the Roe v Wade and other documents but they were so complicated and verbose that I couldn't properly understand them. Will you be able to condense them into laymen's terms or point me to a link thats done that? I'm not sure what you mean by 'bringing up...

    Abortion

    The law can only address what is, not what might be in the future. As you have said before, inherent rights are not granted to us by the government. You are saying that the government recognises that a women has inherent rights towards liberty but then when it comes to her biological daughters...

    Abortion

    Hiya. Here is my long answer, long time coming. First, the amendent refers to "persons", not humans. Please point out any non-human persons. And second, all persons are treated equally under the law here, no person is allowed to use another person's body or its organs and processes without...

    Abortion

    Phineas2 I don't believe that Scott Roeder has saved lives, because, again, whether or not abortion remains legal, the acts of child-killing will continue. All he has done is made women rescedule their abortions. Also, as I have said before whilst arguing for the unborn, Mr Tillers right to...

    Abortion

    Nope, that doesn't follow. Value is not an objective standard, it requires someone to determine it. In the US, we consider our rights to be be inherent, not granted to us by the government or any other human agency. That says nothing about our value, though. Hi A2SG. I'm still in the process...

    "But something has changed: the fetus has become viable. What this means is that it is able to survive on its own, outside the womb. This is a major difference, biologically..." No. It just means an individual human being has reached a higher stage of development than they were before. My...
