The problem with your position is it is completely arbitrary.....these human beings are okay to kill....these aren't. I don't make an arbitrary choice on which human beings are okay to kill and which aren't.
Ah yes, that's right: you'll only stop ducking my arguments when I put them in green.
So you've swapped one equivocation for another, here; the reason it was wrong to kill native americans is because they were people, they were conscious and sapient, something that a fetus is not. Your claims of our position being arbitrary are simply incorrect; from the very beginning we've been telling you that the dividing line is personhood, consciousness, not mere genetics.
Strawmanning us is bad, Heywood. Especially from a guy that doesn't hesitate to call out others on perceived fallacies.
I read this post, but since it doesn't appear to be of the nature of official mod, I won't bother responding to its content.
When are you going to get it? I'm not interesting in debating with you Esquilax. I have given you several chances but you keep employing low-brow insulting tactics.
Maybe when you mature a bit we can have an honest discussion.
