The meaning was different.

But the meanings of zygote, foetus and child are the same?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

So you support women making godlike decisions over an actual god making those decisions?

Makes sense...


Yes, it does.  It's consistence with my supporting the decisions of actual beings over those of people's imaginary friends.

We can demonstrate that women exist. I've heard.

A fetus is not a "gob of goo" buddy, and is in every sense of the word, a child.

Quote:Definition of child
1 a :  an unborn or recently born person


Not legally, dumbass.  As noted above, in far too many cases those gobs of goo grow up to be creatards.  But if its own mother doesn't want it then fuck it.  Neither do I.
And what business is it of yours anyway?

Education and the empowerment of women.

I, as an atheist, do not love abortion. I would like to see it being unnecessary.

But a women right to chose is, to me, self evident in a world where your gods as so immoral..

If all the women of the world had control of their reproductive rights, are educated and could live in safety from abuse, you might have a slim case.

An all powerful god could easily have set it up to be so.

God hates women, is comfortable with miscarriages and will turn a blind eye to rape.

Shitty omnipotence, a slacker like me could do better with that power.

Let me ask you something, suppose if a person owned some puppies, and decided to kill them, would you be in support of that?

Yes, killing puppies is fun.

Evolution has given humans no understanding of pack animals.

Yet, some humans still drown puppies.

Yet, some people love dogs.

Bugger, some questions can't be reduced to absurd trivialities..

Thank god we have a big book to explain it.
