Why I Am Pro-Life

[catfish]

Wouldn't a rational justification for this (superficially seen speciest) behaviour be the difference in potential for a more developed consciousness which the child has but the cat less so? And doesn't the unborn fetus have that same potential?

Babble. While true our consciousness is a manifestation of biological processes, this has nothing at all to do with the bullshit arguments pro birthers use.

Bottom line for me is that if it is not your body and especially if you are not going to raise the kid, then it is none of your business.

I really do appreciate that you labeled your post beforehand. Thanks!

What do you mean by "except"? Nobody said anything about species.

A parasite must feed off/live on a different kind of organism. That's the scientific definition.

Right. It's more like a tumor.

I see a definition that doesn't apply how you think it does. Now go do another search and try to find support for a fetus being a parasite.

Oh really? Which part of that definition of a parasite does a foetus not fit?

I would hope that the DNA structure and the membranes surrounding our nuclei would separate gamete cells from parasitic cells. In my opinion, parasites are not equal to gamete cells due to cell structure alone.
