Which still does not go against what I was saying.

I know life begins at conception.

The biggest question one needs to answer is whether or not that life has more weight than the mother's.

Women have purposely, methodically, slaughtered millions of human lives since 1973. What is wrong will telling the woman she is carrying a human life?

Women have been having abortions since long before 1973. What is wrong with respecting a woman just as much as respecting the fetus?

Absolutely nothing. The wrong comes in stopping her from getting an abortion. Which this in no way is doing, but just getting it out there.

You've yet to answer on how this is giong to change anything. Many people know that the fetus is human life. The thing is, they just don't see it as having equal rights than the person who is incubating it.

Your true colors are showing.
I have pointed out this inconsistency on other threads and have asked for clarification from the pro-life side. Never have gotten an answer....

Abortion didn't start in 1973.
Any particular reason why you insist on being rude and bolding all of your posts? It just makes you look like an arrogant boor.

Um, because it's more than just telling her she's pregnant, that's why. Oh, & abortions have been going on for longer than that my friend. Ever hear of back-alley abortions?

Yes. The fact that slavery is wrong is a value judgment. The fact that torture is wrong is a value judgment. As long as I feel I have a strong rationale behind my value judgments I will go about trying to impose them on other people as much as possible.

Because some people are NOT meant to be parents, and absolutely refuse to put their bodies through the disgusting process called pregnancy just to pop it out and give it away, like a chicken does an egg.

Because the woman can live, breathe, and think on her own. The thing inside her cannot, and is indeed a parasitic organism.

Yes, those are certainly realistic options for two married adults with a healthy relationship... NOT!

If precautions are taken and fail its your choice whether or not you want to become a parent.Personally, I refuse. Last thing we need on this planet is yet another human overpopulating it.

You're so lucky to be such a superior human being. Why, with your perfection, moral judgments come so easily to you. You never have to even consider the other person's point of view, because you know you are better, smarter, morally superior in every way. I bow to you, an angel fallen from the heavens.

And you're so smug, to boot.
