It's not about defending abortion, nobody likes it, and it is a last mean for a person to handle that problem and usually for a person to save her life. That's why atheists are trying to solve that problem by letting gays adopt kids, by educating people in sex, by making contraception more available, and so on, most of which you and those like you object and just want to force women into doing what you think is your God ordering you to do.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

No pal, abortion is a really dark spot in your worldview as atheists. There is no way for you to defend it in a coherent way and, deep down, you know it's immoral to end a human life, which includes foetuses. Hey Scooter,
I assume you come to this conclusion because only an atheist would consider, or have, an abortion.
Move on - your 'argument' fails.

Quote:Its amusing to see atheists rationalize abortion with all kinds of analogies,
Nah there is nothing amusing about producing sound pro choice .But it is funny to watch dishonest apologists like you lie about it
Quote:the underlying reasoning being that the infant's life is less worth than the mother's.
Nope wrong
Quote: All this just to comfortably have more sex.
Wrong
Quote:You are senseless murderers at the baby scale.
Nope but your dishonest
Quote:The more mature murderers who understood atheism better are the kind of exemplary leaders like Pol Pot, Mao Zedong, etc. and the pyramids of skulls associated with their names.
Atheism can never be blamed for any of these men and Islam has produced plenty of mass murdering psychopaths so STFU
Quote:How can you justify killing millions of bacteria when you shower, atheists? Aren't they life too?
That question is actually for you
Quote:My point should be clear,
As clear as mud
Quote:I think. Only a superior moral reference can settle this issue.
No one cares what an apologist hack thinks and you possess no such morality
Quote:Avoiding this fact runs into problems,
Yup which is you problem not ours
Quote: abortion is one instance when one simply can't have a coherent justification for ending the infant's life without earning the murderer title.
Nope you most certainly can
Quote:Of course there are. Wars happen, you know. And remember that everything in the Qur'an presupposes the existence of God, as an ultimate source of morality.
No one gives a damn what your pimative book of bullshit presupposes
Quote:Your system can't possibly make the distinction between the human life and any other form of life,
Atheism isn't a system and yes an atheist can .It's Theism that lacks any justification of why we should give a damn
Quote: and if you try and do that you're just borrowing religious ideals.
Nope these are not you ideals nor can you justify them
Quote:From a materialist point of view nothing makes one more special than any virus or bacteria or living cell out there. And we can't do better than that unless we start elevating our own status.
All false .It's Theism tha fails at this
Quote:No pal, abortion is a really dark spot in your worldview as atheists.
Aheism isn't a worldview it's rejection of one .And pro choice is a light spot on the other hand Islams desire to have domination over women is your dark spot
Quote: There is no way for you to defend it in a coherent way and, deep down, you know it's immoral to end a human life, which includes foetuses.
Yes there is and your attempts at playing mind reader fails

Perhaps you'd like to point out one of these "holes"... (not the one you're talking out of)

At work.
Wait?
Is Mr Blocked reffering to AtlasS33?
I mean, other than a few sheep loose in the top paddock, AtlasS33 is actually a pretty cool/good/coherant poster of stuff.
They've just got their 'Hot topic' buttons likd Brian37, is all.

No it's Klorophyll.
Coherency isn't the first thing that springs to mind.
