[quote=“heatmiserfl, post:2175, topic:580935”] If we apply our reasoning skills that we use in every other aspect of our lives to identify a zygote or early embryo, anyone would logically say that it does not remotely resemble, in any way, shape or form a baby. [QUOTE] So what if it doesn’t resemble a human. That’s not the point. It is a human life you are destroying. Using your logic I could say that an amputee does not resemble a person. ---

> [@heatmiserfl](#): > > I don’t know of any pro-choice person wanting anyone to respect an amoeba. Not even PETA would storm a tissue culture facility to save the precious tissue. Then there’s also the argument made time and time again, that no pro-choice or PETA person would force someone to keep an animal in their womb for 9 months. So the only choices are that it’s human on conception or human when it hits air? I don’t think so. ---

There is no competition for the rights of another in that example. Try evicting someone from _your property_ once you’ve agreed to rent to them. Your rights are subject to limitations when other persons are involved. ---

It’s a baby on implantation, or conception or abortion is okay for the life of the mother or never. You’re just a stupid troll trying to get a rise. But you simply aren’t smart enough to be here. I’m sorry. ☹ ---

I’m sorry. ☹ You aren’t smart enough to chew gum and walk at the same time. How do you get dressed in the morning? This isn’t mensa retard. I’m not aware of any IQ test required to post here. You would have never gotten in with that IQ of 50 anyways. You would think that you would quit responding to me if I upset you so much. There is also a handy feature that hides my posts from you. ---

Click on the links in post #1,497 and post #2,161. I could sit here and post more, but I figure why bother? The pro-choicers in this thread just ignore them and continue to insist that “the majority of people [think the way they do]”. > [@AlienVessels](#): > > It’s not necessary that they do so.
