Life began eons ago, and even if one believes the Adam and Eve story it is still a passed on thing.
The sperm contains thousands of human lives so, with each ejaculation many human lives are lost. That is a proven fact. The lucky sperm that hits the egg fertilizes it, the rest die.
And then I would hop in my plama-enhanced matter/anitmatter hydrothopter and jet off to the moons of Flooogle 5 for a tryst with a 7 titted Vulva Monster.
I mean, as long as we’re talking backwards-assed idiocy, let’s at least make it fun.
Each *sperm *contains thousands of human lives? Where the hell do you get that from? Or did you mean each ejaculate contains thousands of sperm cells (and I think it’s more like millions).
Well then millions of human lives are lost as the sperm contains human life. A man who’s sperm is not alive cannot impregnate a woman. Life is passed on through the sperm and ova.
I also wonder how many innocent lives are lost in a war, we know ahead of time when we go to war(even a just one) that many innocent lives, unborn, women ,children, men etc. will be killed.
We also know that there are countries that have many innocent children dying of starvation, lack of medical attention etc. some people even justify the death penalty. But they willingly march against Abortions. Some times an abortion can be self defense.
Perhaps if people concentrated more on helping to prevent the need for an abortion, if men were more concerned about the fact that the woman may bear his child(that he doesn’t want), and a woman thought of the consequences then perhaps the need for an abortion could be reduced. Rapists etc. are not thinking of a woman or what will happen to her. One could say if a man doesn’t want abortions he should keep his pants zipped! Both the man and woman need to be responsible.
However sometimes even responsible people have an unwanted pregnancy, and if a woman cannot bear the child for emotional, physical, or financial reasons then unless the anti-abortion people take responsible for the being they want to be born then they should except the responsibility for the womans expenses, as well as the child care etc… If that is too much of a burden then they are only pretending to be pro-Life and just pro-birth, and want to impose their beliefs on another.
And I agree. I was just confused over what I thought you were claiming, i.e., each ***sperm cell ***contains thousands of human lives. I thought you were coming from some sort of Buddhist / re-incarnation / new-age / We Are The World sort of thing.
Reagan Administration didn’t seem to do much about it though did they? Their concern may well have been that, but human life is still a passed on thing, for many, many generations.
The man who killed the doctor justified his killing.
The people killed in war are also human beings. To say one values human life and uses death to solve a problem, is not thinking of human beings,nor can say they are pro-life in it’s full meaning… When all killing is stopped then we can say we are civilized.
All you are doing is redefining and degrading the phrase “human life” as meaning something not of any real worth. Playing word games won’t make those mindless single cells anything other than mindless single cells. If a sperm cell or a few million cells in a womb is a “human life”, then it’s perfectly all right to destroy “human lives” by the millions or billions or trillions. Because renaming them doesn’t make them more valuable.
They passed the Mexico City Policy, which pressured medical organizations all over the world to not perform or even talk about abortion. They hurt and killed quite a few women that way, which I’m sure was the real goal. “Every woman who dies is a victory for morality”, is what Randall Terry said back then.
Randall Terry is a major-league asshole, and if anyone might have said that, it would be him. But in the interests of ruthless truth, we need a cite for that quote.
What? You made a broad-brush statement, I was just pointing out that it didn’t apply.
I support abortion on demand, for any or no reason, up to end of term. I am* willing to compromise* on abortion on demand, for any and no reason, up to the end of trimester 2, and for the slimmest medical necessity thereafter. But this does not mean that I “…agree that late-term abortions should, for strong preference, only occur in dire circumstances”. I *strongly prefer *that it be freely available under any circumstances, any time. I’m also A-OK with the use of abortion as birth control, BTW.
Talk about pre-emptively poisoning the well with ad hominems:rolleyes:
Here’s one from religioustolerance. This quote turns up on a number of websites, all attributing it to the Ft. Wayne IN News-Sentinel (Aug. 16, 1993).
Here’s another real doozy from this page of Randall terry Quotes:
There must be a name in the DSM-IV for the kind of personality that fantasizes about seizing absolute political power and killing everyone the subject doesn’t like or doesn’t share his religion. It’s beyond grandiosity. It sounds like some kind of megalomaniacal, psychotic disorder.
If there is a God, he’s been having some fun pranking the hell out of RT. Two of his daughters have had multiple babies out of wedlock (as teenagers, I believe), one of them converted to Islam, and his son came out publicly as gay a couple of years ago (Terry disowned him).
In my opinion, you are a baby killer. Not only that, but you have sex with the dead babies after you kill them. You are a baby killing necrophiliac pedophile. :eek:
This is only my opinion, so how can it be wrong?
Also, don’t bother responding, as I would never trust the word of a baby killing necrophiliac pedophile. You sicken me.
