2. Yes, and the comparison works just fine here.

You're missing the purpose of the comparison.

The comparison is done to illustrate why pro-lifers choose to "get in your business".

In order to properly convey the message, I have to use an example that both sides agree has value. This allows you to see the thought process of a pro-lifer. The desire to protect the innocent life.

The analogy still stands and is still accurate. The thought process is still the same.

The only difference is that your side does not value the life of the unborn baby, but pro-lifers do. But if you can take away your desire to veer from the point and look at the analogy for what it is meant to convey, then perhaps you'll walk away with a greater understanding of why pro-lifers don't just "mind their own business".

not all sides agree "life" is the same definition. so the analogy isn't accurate. even if it was you still have to negate inside the womb and outside the womb. you can't get around that.

I don't need to make a compelling argument about life. life has different meaning to different people and different situations. in the case of abortion is is up to a woman who has the pregnancy. her choice, her values. not your's
No. Life is or isn't. The whole idea of interpreting when it begins is just a failure of humanity to understand it.

And you tend to do things like call me dense, but you have lacked any logical analysis in your posts. They tend to be composed of the intellectual equivalent of, "This is the way it is... so there!"

And you still avoided addressing the contradictions you have.

If a baby isn't alive before birth, then why are you against abortion in the 9th month?

I am guessing that it's something that you ate unable to rectify in your mind.

I don't get this drama. Lot's of doctors in regular offices and hospitals perform abortions.

you want to take choice away from women to save a life. taking away anyone's choice is control, like it or not. open your eyes.

again a one year old is far different than an 8 week old fetus. try to get that through your head.
You deflect from the real issue.

You have no reasoned argument beyond stomping your feet.

Imagine if her Mom would have talked to her about Birth Control .... she probably wouldn't have TWO bastard babies running around by what may be two different Baby Daddies ...

Again, the purpose of the analogy was not to define a start of life.

The purpose of the analogy was to foster understanding of why a person would get in your business. The purpose for the pro-lifer is to save a life.

An honest pro-abortion activist would at least acknowledge that it is consistent for someone who believes the baby's life to have value to get in your business. It is intellectually dishonest and borderline sociopathic to acknowledge that someone can believe the baby to be alive, but expect them to mind their own business.

I don't care the reasoning behind your compression. The point is you can't compare the abuse of a child to the abortion of a fetus. They aren't in anyway comparable situations. While an anti abortion activist will say they are concerned with the life of the fetus I wonder how much they is true. They are also the same ones that demand cuts to social welfare and programs that support said children. I think the stronger reality is they are concerned with pushing their religious views on everyone else.

funny my reasoning is the same as the law of the land. no foot stomping about it. it's legal. I am pro choice. could care less if you can't understand the distinctions.
