Secular reasons for and against legalising abortion

RE: Secular reasons for and against legalising abortion
Nothing to actually talk about, abortion is between the doctor and the patient. All society has a right to regulate is to make them safe.

Not very safe for the unborn.

So what they are suggesting is to limit the population growth of unwanted minorities. You do know that Planned Parenthood grew out of the American eugenics movement, right?

Because Margaret Sanger was into eugenics? So were Winston Churchill and Teddy Roosevelt. It was a bad idea, but it was a popular bad idea of the time. Didn't the Carnegie Institute fund eugtenics research into the forties? And wasn't Andrew Carnegie a Swedenborgian? Is there some legitimate inference that can be drawn from that to reflect on Swedenborgianism or the Carnegie Institute of today?

WTF does is matter what it 'grew out of''? What non-fallacious argument can you make out of that against the organization?
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.

Masturbation and blowjobs are not safe for the sperm, your point?

There is no debate to be had here. There are just morons who fucking think they have the right to control bodies they do not own. PERIOD!

A sperm cell is not a complete human, dipshit.

What the fuck makes you think you have the right to end another human life for any reason at all?

There is no debate to be had about whether unborn humans are biologically distinct life forms, in their own right, both genetically and developmentally, regardless of whether they are in the womb or in a dish.

All you have is the claim that they aren't 'persons', an ambiguous legal concept without any scientific basis whatsoever.

What about a woman who ends up pregnant due to rape? Where does responsibility comes into play?

Your average fine xtian shithead will tell you the bitch had it coming.

Search my posts and you will find no reference to personhood. Only those in favor of abortion promote that idea as justification for ending a human life.

So you don't claim a fetus is a person?

No, it is a definition of a human being. I don't care about a bunch of cells without a brain and nervous system.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.
