Even if you want to consider a fetus human life, it's all semantics to me because that will not change my stance on the subject. It should still be the mother's choice.

If you apply the golden rule to the issue of abortion, you see how absurd it is to claim abortion is murder. This is a quick little argument that occurred to me at this moment. I'll have to flesh it out later.
In order for a violation of the golden rule to take place, both parties in question must be capable of feeling that they have been wronged. A fetus cannot feel being wronged. Therefore, killing a fetus does not violate the golden rule.

All this time I was just debating and discussing the issue of human rights, embryology and ethics because I like to have a dissenting opinion. . . My point is I took issue with people in this thread for their opinions on abortion and argued my stance on the matter. Jesus Wrote:You say scientific fact has no place in this arguments, and rather, it's a philosophical debate. Yet you say you want nothing personal from anyone, only facts? No, I said that I didn't care to discuss the philosophic implications of sentience as I already had done (while no one has bothered to address the points I made, no matter). I would like some facts from people who have been debating me, absolutely. Since all I have received thus far are opinions and conjecture and not facts. @teaearlgreyhot: The golden rule as the standard of which to hold abortion to? The golden rule has been argued on this forum already and has been proven to be categorically false. But sure, let's drag in another irrelevant point into the discussion, might as well.

The golden rule has been argued on this forum already and has been proven to be categorically false. But sure, let's drag in another irrelevant point into the discussion, might as well. The golden rule is my assumption. Assuming the golden rule, then abortion isn't murder. Many atheists here assume golden rule so I thought it would provide an interesting perspective to those of us who hold it. I don't believe in objective morality. I only hold to the golden rule because every violation of it I can imagine disgusts me. I must know however, why do you personally object to murdering an adult human? I.e. by what criteria do you conclude that murder is wrong?
