Why I Am Pro-Life

[Rahul]

Actually, I don't think of it that way. I don't care for people who project their opinion of me onto me as though it were a fact and it has no place in a debate. I have simply demonstrated that there is a clear and definable difference between your severed finger and an embryo. The finger is the physical result of a genetic code that took time and nourishment to achieve. A finger is a peace of flesh consisting of human DNA. An embryo is not a piece of flesh.

Yes it is. Living human cells. Not a person. Piece of flesh.

An embryo is an unborn offspring in the process of development.

By unborn you mean it's going to be born. That's a sure thing. We're not talking about a sure thing. We're talking about a possibility.

Your finger is an extension of you, your body. An embryo - as it is well established - is not merely an extension of the mother who hosts it. An embryo is a seperate entity.

It's not an entity until the higher brain develops. The Cerebrum. Until then it's not an entity. It's not a person. It's just a potential one.

The 'an' embryo might as well be a tumor' argument, popular among pro-abortionists, has been refuted time and time again, and not without facts. I will not address this analogy again, because I am tired of dancing around the same tired argument when it has been made clear why it is a false premise.

It's only been made clear that it's false by flawed thinking. Which is to say, it's not false.

Aborting a fetus is the termination of a human life.

Define human life. Define it.

If you cannot understand that a fetus is merely a human in a different stage of growth from you, I don't know what more I can say.

If you won't logically ruminate on your thinking I guess I don't know what more I can say either.

I guess I can point you to a webpage with a multitude of quotes from abortion doctors themselves who admit to being aware that they are killing humans by performing abortions.

I don't care what some doctor thinks. Most doctors would believe otherwise. I don't care if some doctors are dense.

Maybe if it comes straight from the horses mouth, you might understand why abortion is not simply a 'removing of a possible human'.

The entire article is a plea to emotion.

A fetus is not a possibility of someone existing. They already exist. How is this not already understood?

"Studies have found that 30 to 50 percent of fertilized eggs are lost before or during the process of implantation – often so early that a woman goes on to get her period at about the expected time."

The cognitive dissonance in this thread never fails to surprise me.

Ever considered the slight possibility that you might be wrong? It would explain a lot to you.
