This man started an organization to save babies. It has become a spin off for other groups.

Not particularly impressive at all. He became an anti abortion fundamentalist because of a single song lyric. A song lyric that is a fallacious appeal to emotion argument designed to pull heart strings without appealing to anything such as facts.

Other than that the article does little more than show the authors blind ego driven close mindedmess on the issue. Observe how the author throws out the phrase "pro aborts". A phrase that tells you instantly that the speaker likely has no idea what the pro choice side actually want or advocate..... or worse that they do know but do not care and prefer misrepresentation and straw mannery over fact.

There is also a poor attempt in the article to portray the "other side" as being vile, rude, aggressive and dangerous. Yet the internet is abound with women telling stories of their experiences being accosted at medical centres by anti abortion activists and the characters portrayed in those stories are every bit as vile as the ones the author of this article invents.

So no, ver little of note or of interest in this article. It is just an anti abortion fundamentalist bigging themselves up for the sake of other cohorts of the same type. A kind of "Look at me and all I have done for our movement" lark.

How unfortunate that he thinks he has the right to control women's bodies.

Once those "pro-lifers" take responsibility for the babies to grow properly into adulthood, I'll be all for not trusting women to do what's right for them and the cells that grow inside them, allowing the "anti-death heroes" to force the women to bear and conceive the unwanted child.

Once anti-abortionists study embryology deeply, I'll be even more glad.
Once they stand up against war and the death-sentence and crime, etc. I will stop thinking they have a deeply rooted emotional tunnel vision.

Such silly religions can't take up full responsibility when they try to cease full worldly power.

The God postulated by "pro-life" Christians hears the silent screams and does nothing, such a postulated God kills some of the babies himself without batting an eye. Where does he choose to send the unbaptized babies? Where would he send the baptized ones if they were killed?

a zygote is one diploid (sperm+egg) cell, no soul enters at this stage, a twin can develop/fuze
an embryo is from 2 cells on to birth, no soul in any individual cell nor isolate-able tissue.
a blastocyst (cells in a mass within a sphere of cells) is from 2 cells to gastroblast
in week 3 beings gastroblast stage as the sphere develops an indentation for the alimentary canal.
a fetus is from 8 weeks to birth, the mass of brain cells has begun developing.
After birth its a breathing baby, no soul enters at this stage either, I think.

Human embryogenesis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Roe v Wade remains a good and proper compromise (can't decide to kill a born baby, why kill a fetus after 6 long months?)

releasing "your" growing diploid mass before the first trimester should be allowable.

By second trimester let the more local people decide how to punish and prosecute women who think they need/want an abortion w/o it being a rape or incest, etc.

My opinion is that we have already had too many ranting and raving threads about abortion in the R&S forums.

Abortion threads tend to turn political very fast.(Roe vs Wade, left, right wing debates, etc . There are many abortion threads here to search . This one is closed.
