This is similar (NOT IDENTICAL OR INTERCHANGABLE - internet trolls everywhere) to adopting a child or even a dog - you made a choice that lead to that subject being dependent upon you and you, in my estimation, have a moral responsibility to adhere to that consquence until such time as you may safely abdicate it to another - eg you can't dump a child on the street because you don't want it anymore - you actually have to take it to the state and relinquish custody. No where do i state that you have a responsibility to ALL subjects or entities! ONLY those that you have made a commiment to either Explicitly or ImplicitlyOf course I read your argument gigglesticks, I'm the one that's been correcting your usage of terms. I accepted that we had a responsibility, remember, but not -to provide life-...because we would have to be spotty about that, understand? Pages ago I mentioned that you have defined abortion as immoral, and thusly decided that it is- and it still holds. We aren't arguing to that conclusion, if your premise is that we have a responsibility to provide life for a particular moral subject (for whatever reason, and "choice" has got to be the flakiest one we could have appealed to). Your "argument" is circular, or, at least- it will be- if I can help you find it. Unless you take some of that stuff out of the premise, that is.
