Overpopulation, as any environmentalist will tell you, is the number one source of environmental problems in the world.

And yes, we are overpopulated, but mass murder? We would be no better than religious people!

I'm not suggesting mass murder. "Murder" is unlawful killing. Abortion is legal.

Arrogant coward, your martial arts will not save you. And hiding behind the law? You are making us atheists look bad.

How exactly am I more a coward than you, calling people names anonymously on the internet while hidden away in your parent's basement where I cannot kick every inch of your sorry ass?
I'm sorry if you don't like it when the facts are against you. Poor baby. Do you need a binky?

Can we get back to the part where tripwire said if you get raped you should have been more careful? And he says christians are pro life for the wrong reasons!
Also I would like to know what tripwires definition of 'human' is.
'The more I learn about people the more I like my dog'- Mark Twain
'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House
“Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom
"If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech

How about a 150 cell blastocyst? Is it human?
No nerve cells, no brain. would it be brutal to abort the blastocyst then?

So, if the state forced you against your will to be a life support system for another person, you'd do it?

Wait, I thought you had empathy? Then you say this ^^^
Maybe you should look up the meaning of the word again, you know, just as a refresher.
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
