You make a big deal about aliens and AI, but if you find it morally acceptable to kill thinking animals, you could also kill thinking aliens or robots.I've already explained all of this to you. Are we adding Argumentum Ad Neuseum to Red Herring evasion?
Quote:Just the wording. Your description above is accurate.Good. Now you can answer why you think you have the authority to make decisions for women and deny them their right of choice when you can't justify the lines you've drawn.
Quote:Note that your beliefs about when life begins are also arbitrary,Ad Hominem Tu Quoque.
Beyond the fact that this isn't true, I provided a lengthy and thoughtful description of why self-awareness is a clear line for me, I'm not the one who seeks to deny women the right of choice.
Quote:Please clarify - do you advocate that women should be prohibited from getting abortions at will past a certain point in pregnancy? If so, what do you think of the article I posted?Can you name for me any women who WANT to get an abortion after week 21?
Can you name for me any "pro-choice" advocates who think late term (3rd trimester) abortions should be on demand?
You might be able to. I'm just curious.
Quote:Why are you comfortable with "I'm pro-choice but..."?I've also answered that question as well. Person A's right to life trumping Person B's right to choice, except where Person B's life is also in danger. Person A doesn't exist prior to the brain development that occurs after week 21.
Shall I keep that answer on my clipboard just in case you need me to paste it a few more times?
Now, if you're done with the red herring and tu quoque evasion tactics, let's hear why you think you're justified in forcing your personal opinions on others.
I'll wait...
