> [@cosmosdan](#): > > Is that an admission that an embryo is not a baby? Now we’re at least dealing with facts. Exactly. However, classylady is now backing down on that. Classylady. You say an embryo is not a tumor. Can you tell us how an embryo can be a baby? What has more in common? An embryo and a tumor or an embryo and a baby. If an embryo is more like a baby than a tumor, can you explain why. ---

Perhaps _I_ will not be ignored. **ClassyLadyHP** , what is so special about the \*potential \*to become a baby that it requires government to override a woman’s right to her own body? Let’s not forget, not every embryo becomes a baby. Not even half of 'em, by many accounts. I would argue that if A _sometimes_ -\> B, but not always or even the majority of the time, then that would indicate that A is not B, but you seem to think otherwise. Are you able to articulate why? ---

Sure, because nothing’s more romantic comedy material than an abortion. Keep your day job, if you have one, and give up on that Hollywood writer dream. I cannot, by the way, endorse **classyladyhp** ’s incoherent arguments, although obviously I feel she’s generally on the correct side of the question. But she’s not helping. ---

Go annoy someone at the imaginary office. i’m done conversing with you. I don’t like resonding to less ignorant people. As I recall you called me an arrogant hateful bitch, or something along those lines. In all caps no less. After you called me a piece of shit. And how am I a troll when I have been here longer than you? And yes, I do have a job. Bet you don’t, though. And if you don’t like responding to LESS IGNORANT people, then you should have no problem, because, in fact, I AM much less ignorant than you.

> [@](#): > > adoption is generally positive and almost certainly a better choice than abortion? Your complete and utter ignorance is now showing, for all to see. As someone who _has_ surrendered a child to adoption, let me just tell you how very, very wrong you are. Not that it will make a dent in your beliefs, as they are not based on any actual reality. The above nugget being indisputable proof. Only a enormously ignorant man would suppose he ‘knows’ that adoption is ‘most certainly’ a better choice. It always comes back to you ‘know better’ what’s right for everybody, doesn’t it? Let us decide what’s right for us, by giving us choice. You go right ahead and decide what’s right for you and stay the hell out of everyone else’s lives and personal decisions. Your morality is not the law, if you want to live in a theocracy, move. ---
