The reason religion is so powerful

[Brian37]

I am not convinced that appealing to a shared humanity works considering that a fair number of AF members do not recognize the humanity of the unborn enough to afford them any rights.

Damn do I hate shallow bullshit arguments like this.

You are the one seeking a utopia, in that if we ban all abortions no matter what, suddenly the planet will become Mr Roger's Neighborhood, or Candyland, or a weather climate where clouds only drop fluffy kittens and puppies. 

Sperm is also UNBORN, eggs are ALSO UNBORN. Your bullshit attitude that only when the two meet, suddenly that bond should be treated exactly like a born human, which is patently fucking absurd.

First of, please if anything, ditch the bullshit slur that pro choice advocates go door to door, and tell females, " GO FUCK SO WE CAN HAVE A PARTY". That is NOT what pro choice advocates argue. Unwanted pregnancies are not a party or desire to pro choice either. All we argue is that every case is just that, case by case, and should only be between the female and the doctor.

If anything the "pro birthers" which is what "pro life" really means, they don't give one shit about saving life at all. They only care about pumping out club future club members. "Pro life" does not give one fuck about quality of life after birth.

What you are referring to are potential humans.

Hitler and Stalin and Po Pot were also "potential humans" at their point of conception. This is why people like Neo cant grasp that nature doesn't give a f about our personal wishes. As much as both left and right would love every  birth to turn out to be a Martin Luther King Jr, or Gandhi, our species has also produced monsters like Hitler and Stalin and Ted Bundy. Pro choice advocates are not advocating government forced abortion. But just the notion, that at the time a pregnancy the decision should only be left up to the female and doctor.
