Pro-life atheists

[Fidel_Castronaut]

I don't mind you calling it "anti choice". That succinctly describes prolifers because our position really is "lets not give human beings the ability to choose to kill other human beings for the sake of convience".

And you're reducing the attributes of "human being" to just "genetics."

So, my fingernail is a human being?

Or are we going to recognize that there's more that goes into what makes a human being than just genetics?

Also, the 'just for convenience' part really grinds my gears.

Heywood, there's nothing 'convenient' about an abortion. It's not like giving some blood or having a paracetamol for a cold.

It's a decision that is not taken lightly and can have medical, surgical and psychological ramifications that stay with the woman for the rest of her life.

I'll chalk the wording used to another slight of hand to add weight to a faulty argument.

It is possible to keep people from harming themselves. If your existence causes Beccs to want to commit suicide does that give her a right to kill you? Negative. Your right stands and Beccs can be treated for her psychological problems.

What are you talking about???

He didn't answer your question.
