atheism and children

[Catholic_Lady]

I have to say that I'm impressed with your level of cognitive dissonance.

You say that's it's okay ("tragic but not immoral" to use your words) to kill an "innocent" person who might kill you, but it's NOT okay to directly abort an ectopic pregnancy which will have the exact say effect as an "innocent" killing someone (an embryo killing its mother).  I find it fascinating that that you say one must end an ectopic pregnancy by removing a section of the Fallopian tube in order to avoid a direct abortion of the embryo but still save the mother's life (Post #477), when, in some cases, there is no need for such a drastic, invasive procedure; if caught early enough the pregnancy can be ended through medical intervention, without the need for a surgical one.

Furthermore, I'm profoundly dumbstruck by the fact that you think it's "tragic but not immoral" to kill an "innocent" who might kill another person, but that it's definitely immoral to combine a sperm and an ovum in a petri dish.

I just got as far as the bolded part. Nope! That's not what I said.

Sorry, but to move further in the discussion it's important that we actually listen to what the other says. Please reread what I wrote in my response post to you.

EDIT TO ADD:

You know, on further thought (and upon reading the rest of your post), perhaps I shouldn't respond. I'm not on here responding y'alls questions because I'm trying to convert you or preach at you. I'm responding to y'alls questions for no other reason than out of politeness and consideration for the person asking. With all respect, but it's really not motivating me at all when people take condescending and borderline hostile tone when I'm taking time out of my day to answer things for you. I'm on vacation right now visiting family that I only see 2-3 times a year.
