Atheists, the death penalty and abortion...

[NoraBrimstone]

Once more: human =/= person.
And even if it was, the mother's rights should come first because she is the conscious being it is using as a host.

I'm not arguing your definition of a person, now am I?
I'm relaying the scientific fact that a human zygote/fetus in an individual lifeform and you guys are denying that it's true. < This is what I find humorous...
Once you admit what it is, we can talk about the morality of killing it. (that's what this is about, btw)

I understand that you struggle to read, but we're not saying it's not an individual life-form. A bacterium is an individual lifeform, so by your logic, we should be debating the morality of bathing or cleaning. Life isn't some magical important thing. Look to your left, the first item you see is likely to be teeming with millions of these "individual lifeforms" you find so bloody sacred. A foetus is totally unaware of its own existance, it can't feel pain or fear. There is no moral issue with killing it if the host doesn't want it, but there is a moral issue with forcing a woman to suffer unnecessary pain and ruin her entire life.

I'd hate to be around you. You must be riddled with headlice that have been there since you were a child because you were so concerned with the morality of killing the individual lifeforms.
