Justifying Abortion

[Subduction Zone]

That is a good one. The word is of latin origin but actually it is not. Bit like me saying I am an Australian because I was born in Australia but I am not.

What? You seem to be having trouble understanding posts. Slow down. Your apparent anger is keeping your from reading what others write.

Fetus is a Latin based word. Back then, like so many other words over time, it had multiple uses, though the use then was roughly the same as now. And "foetus" is an error. It was never spelled that way in Latin. That is a modernism.

Fanatics are inherently irrational, amusing though.

Thankyou for making clear what subduction zone is.

So what?

 

[Subduction Zone]

What other jokes do you tell?

Let's not make too many personal attacks here. You may not be a fanatic, unfortunately you have acted like one.

Do you think that you can debate rationally instead of emotionally? You might get somewhere if you do.

 

[artie annie]

What a mature response.

Thankyou. You are most welcome.

 

[Subduction Zone]

Just so you know, I don't fall for cynical responses. Are they allowed in the rules?

That was not cynical. That was hopeful. Why did you think that it was cynical? It is obvious that you have been arguing emotionally. You cannot even face the fact that the definitions of terms that you use are incorrect. Legally a fetus is not a baby. It is illegal to kill a baby. It is not illegal (in many cases) to eliminate, or even kill if you prefer, a fetus. Biology has the same definition. You are trying to argue with a personal definition of a word.

 

[Subduction Zone]

I only debate with facts. Not opinions that come straight out of hell.

Demonstrably not true.

 

[Subduction Zone]

Anger? Thanks for letting me know that you have run out of intelligent comment.

Please, you only have angry responses right now. Anger will not get you anywhere.

Well I must be famous as my definition is in every dictionary on the planet.

 

[Subduction Zone]

That is not a personal attack. it is a statement of fact. You must brush up on your grammar.

It was false and a personal attack. But you cannot make me mad. I am only trying to point out your errors in debate. Once again one can make a rational argument against abortion. When one cannot use the accepted definitions of terminology that indicates one is not arguing rationally.

 

[artie annie]

Demonstrably not true.

OK. Demonstrate it.

Whose definitions yours or everyone else?

 

[Subduction Zone]

Well I must be famous as my definition is in every dictionary on the planet.

Let's go down the list form a quick google search using the words "fetus definition":

Definition of FETUS
Nope.

Fetus - Wikipedia
Nope.

Definition of fetus | Dictionary.com
Nope.

Do I need to continue?

 

[artie annie]

And when are you going to answer the two questions I asked you?

 

[Subduction Zone]

OK. Demonstrate it.

I have more than once. I just did so by refuting your claim that it was in "every dictionary in the world" was wrong.

I am not the one making "rubbish arguments". Your anger makes it too easy to refute your claims. Slow down. Try to reason. Don't get mad at people simply because they disagree with you. Getting mad because they can use sources to demonstrate your errors is an even worse error.

 

[Subduction Zone]

And when are you going to answer the two questions I asked you?

I did so a long time ago. Try to ask them properly and politely and I will answer them again.

 

[artie annie]

Technically it is not. Neither biologically nor legally. Those are simply facts. Though abortions such as those in your image are tragic they represent a very very small percentage of all abortions. Such late abortions are almost always done due to severe medical conditions that make them necessary. We don't know anything about that fetus except for the fact that it was aborted. That makes it all but worthless in a debate. It is an example of emotional rather than rational opposition to abortion.

That fetus may have been dead already. Or doomed to die a painful death soon after birth. Sometimes abortion is a kindness.

That is the most pathetic rationalisation for proving an ideology that I have ever read.

I mean, technically it is not a baby. Get real. It is either a baby or it is not and anyone who is not trying to justify such stupidity knows that it is a baby.

 

[artie annie]

Now that is name calling and rude. I answered your questions for you and even offered answer them again if you could ask them politely and properly. I do not see those two questions in your post.

A person has no duty to answer questions that are asked rudely. Have I ever been rude to you? Have I claimed that you were lacking in intelligence due to your beliefs? I can understand how emotions can sway a person so that rational responses are very difficult to make.

Thankyou for confirming that you do not know the answer to my two questions so obfuscation is the best you can do to save yourself from ridicule.

Who breathes for that organism? Does it breathe on its own? If not then it is not a "baby". I am sorry if facts are so painful.

Once again up the creek without a paddle. You have this ability to avoid answering questions that you don't want to answer and avoiding topics with silly oh you are naughty comments.
