I did give you the benefit of the doubt. Is someone else here arguing that abortion is wrong because embryos are people and killing a person is murder? ::Looks around::
Link your scientific consensus regarding the beginning of life at conception. I want to see it (more accurately I want YOU to see how muddy those waters are). Now what does this have to say about personhood and the law that hasn't already been argued?
"I don't have a problem with the law, I just think it is wrong and that people who have abortions are murderers."
I don't agree with abortion either but at least I don't blow smoke up anyones ass like I have the weight of some legitimate authority behind me. I have an opinion, my arguments might sway the opinions of others, but they are not strong enough to sway the process of law. Nor are they in any way strong enough to even approach morality. I don't like it. That's the heads and tails of it. Why is it so hard to admit that we sometimes hold opinions with such weak justifications as to be dismissed out of hand?
