Our entire bodies are made up of unconscious cells, so unless you can point me to a single cell in our body that has consciousness, your argument falls apart completely. Unless you are in favour of pardoning all murderers, since all they ever did was kill a bunch of unconscious cells, and therefore did nothing morally wrong.
In the case of abortion, what is best for them, and what is best for the baby come into conflict, hence my opposition.
Good job, you know sperms and egg cells carry DNA, yes they are his/her cells and they are living but no they are not their life.
Do you read or comprehend what I say? It is quite simple and you failing to understand it is just fascinating. They do not have consciousness because, unlike fully developed human, they are lacking a brain and nervous system. Your testicals do not have consciouness, but you do. A clumps of joint sperm and egg cells have just as much of a consciouness as your testicals or your tonsil. My arguement stays perfectly intact.
Comparing abortion to commiting murdering is just pathetic and the weakest of argument, and honestly it doesn't even have much reasoning validity behind it other than just a nasty way of insulting someone.
And I will continue to say what I had constantly been saying, Most people whether pro-choice or pro-life, in the end are all pro-life. I, along with most pro-choice people believe women should have the right to their own body and what they decide to do is completely up to them and nobody else business, especially government, but we do not run around supporting abortion, we support their right to it if necessary.
It is just completely stupid and childish that people think the way to prevent abortion is to make it illegal. Making it illegal just simply mean now abortion is illegal and people will be having illegal abortion without the medical care they need. If we want to reduce the rate of abortion, we focus on improving our crappy sex education, encourage protection, offer free counselling or social services to aide them. But we give them that rights to abortion if it is what they choose to do, and we provide them with all the medical assistance they need to have a safe and sanitary abortion.
It is ironic that republicans believe abortion is inhumane yet they focus on weakening sex education, illegalizing birth control and Plan B, take away funds on social services/aides, and let people starve to death.
