That's not even the correct analogy. Slavery was legal and was immoral. Murdering pre-born babies is legal and immoral. We corrected one, and hopefully we will see this horrific genocide for what it is and correct that too.

the funny thing about morals; your morals are not the morals of other people. What you believe to be "immoral" may not be to another person.

And they aren't pre-born babies. They are fetuses. Babies by definition are those who are BORN.

That's a legalistic, not a moral interpretation.

Was slavery moral to some and immoral to others?

Was that a reason not to ban it?

Yes and to this day, some white supremacists still think slavery should be allowed

So morality does not have to be concensus in order to be morality.

I'm sure, as a woman, you've discussed girth and length.

I suppose those are just things to talk about, they have nothing to do with reproduction?
You ovbiously know nothing about women.

I never wanted children.....that does not mean that I let myself go and dress unattractively.

Women do not dress well and stay fit just because they want to attract a mate so they can reproduce. That is the last thing on our minds.....believe me.

There you go again...."pre-born babies"....I am hearing a nursery rhyme.

Then why would you stay fit? Why would men work out? You an make up all the excuses in the world but the simple fact is that you have a biological clock. You can tell yourself that clock doesn't exist but when it runs out you have no more value to the human species.

That's not me being an *******, that's me presenting very well known and documented facts. Evolutions requires promulgation and not doing so destroys the species. That would be something where you'd be the first in line for that title.... Millions of years life's evolution tells us otherwise.

I like all the mommy parts. But I understand why. It's not because I like an excess of cellulite (maybe), fat and bone in one part of the female body.

to stay healthy? Gee, staying fit affords you all types of benefits that doesn't include attracting men

less problems or ailments that plague those who are obese. No diabetes, no heart problems, no high blood pressure, no cholesterol problem, no premature arthritic conditions.

Exercise helps to keep you feeling young.

No excuses here; you're the one actively looking for excuses.

Quote:
Stromatolites are not only Earth's oldest of fossils, but are intriguing in that they are our singular visual portal (except for phylogenetic determination of conserved nucleic acid sequences and some subtle molecular fossils) into deep time on earth, the emergence of life, and the evolving of the beautiful forms of life of modern time. A small piece of stromatolites encodes biological activity perhaps spanning thousands of years. In broad terms, stromatolites are fossil evidence of the prokaryotic life that remains today, as it has always been, the preponderance of biomass in the biosphere. For those that subscribe to the theory of the living earth, it is the prokaryotes that maintain the homeostasis of the earth, rendering the biosphere habitable for all other life. They maintain and recycle the atomic ingredients of which proteins, the essence of life, are made, including oxygen, nitrogen and carbon. We humans are, in simple terms, bags of water filled with proteins and prokaryotic bacteria (the bacteria in your body outnumber the cells in your body about 10 to 1). We humans have descended from organisms that adapted to living in a prokaryotic world, and we humans retain (conserved in evolutionary terms) in our Eukaraotic mitochondria the cellular machinery to power our cells that we inherited (i.e., Endosymbiosis) from the prokaryotes of deep time on earth.
