You know, repeating the phrase "basic biology" whenever someone uses slightly more advanced biology against you isn't helping you.

Maybe it's about time you went beyond "basic biology" now that you're out of Primary School?

I know what they're "getting at" too. I'm just not buying it.

The original question I asked was this: "Is a human fetus an individual human lifeform?"
Then don't buy it and refute it, but don't look like a complete idiot... You can do better Smile
They don't agree with you on individual human lifeform. It's all semantics at this point... You could call every fetus the Queen of England, and they (and I) would say abort the bitch. I agree with calling a fetus an individual, but it is dependent upon it's mother, her individual rights supersede that of a lifeform that cannot keep itself alive.

Also, asking the same question over and over isn't going to change the answer.

The answer is NO. A foetus is NOT an individual human lifeform, and unless it survives till birth, it never will be.

As long as you deny basic biology, what makes you think you're ready for advanced biology?

Your shit is getting really fucking boring now. Fuck off and read a book on this "Basic biology" you think you know so much about. Do us all a favour.

Most of the time the"father" has absconded and is not reachable to be engaged in the abortion decision Tiberius
