Serious question. If abortion is murder, then what do you do about miscarriages? Should there be a funeral? Should women who miscarry without saving the products of conception (this is the medical term) be charged with indignity to human remains?

heres how a vegan can be peo choice in a super dumbed down argument: a cow demonstrably suffers more than a 12 week old fetus. about 90% of abortions happen before the 13th week..


How do you know that?

I simply cannot comprehend the mental gymnastics required to maintain these two moral philosophies at the same time.


i base that on what we know about the nervous systems of a 12 week old fetus as well as those of a cow.

there is no mental gymnastics required, the position, as stated, is consistent.

The key term is "what we know." It's going to be quite embarrassing to a number of you when we know more.

I guess there isn't any mental gymnastics required when you are able to fool yourself into certain beliefs.

no. it wont. because i base my position on the best available evidence. thats the cornerstone of science based skepticism.

being wrong is never a source of emarrassment because im happy to change my mind. its fundamentally no different than gaining knowledge. further, basing your position on what we know, if what we know is incorrect, while wrong in facts, is not analogous to holding a position contradictory to what is known and accepted.

its a really odd of you to say that learning new information through scientific study is embarrassing. i doubt you actually believe that and wouldn't argue it, if you paused to consider it for a moment.

Often there are funerals. A friend of mine miscarried. They had a funeral. It's fairly common.

Also, if you kill a pregnant you can be, and often are, charged with two murders.

Even here in ultra-liberal California that happens.

For what it's worth, I believe the dirty, selfish, worthless cunt the OP is talking about has every right to kill her babies as a form of birth control for purely connivence related reasons.

And I also have the right to consider her a dirty, selfish, cunt whore. Fuck that lady. I'm glad she'd kill for convenience. She'd most likely raise her kids to grow up into real fucking shitty people. Fuck her and fuck her unborn babies.

The only thing that's odd is refusing to destroy the eggs of a chicken, while harboring no hesitation to destroy the fertilized eggs of a human.

so you dont understand the reason i am generally against the practice of consumijg chicken eggs. you can save some trouble of having an incorrect argument against me by asking instead of assuming.

ill give you a hint...it has nothing to do with eggs.

I think if you did some looking around you'd find that in science "Human life" and "Individual human life" are used differently, at least that is my understanding

I don't know what to tell you. Your understanding is perfectly wrong. A fertilized human embryo is an individual human organism, a unique, distinct, human being. Again, science. It's not just some "organ" of the mother until brain waves develop.

In California we can only get "cruelty free" eggs certified by our government overlords.

It's the law.

You should move here.

Btw, I don't eat honey. I use agave nectar instead. Honey is murder!

She must have had a good reason not to have your baby, and, quite frankly, I don't blame her.

What are you talking about?

You said abortion was only the business of a man if their sperm was involved so I asked about women who make the choice on their own. The pro-choice crowd typically supports a woman's right to choose, not a couple's right.

So, my question is, are you pro-choice if the woman can choose without any input from the man?


I am not pro-choice, I am anti human procreation. Why would anyone, in their right mind and good conscious, create a being who knows it is going to die? Having children is a selfish act of cowardice.



Ok, this little quote here should be saved for posterity sake. And now other stupid things you have said here make a lot of sense. That's a very radical leftist idea you have there, and we should know who we are dealing with when you say the idiotic things you tend to.


"In the world I see you are stalking elk through the damp canyon forests around the ruins of Rockefeller Center. You'll wear leather clothes that will last you the rest of your life. You'll climb the wrist-thick kudzu vines that wrap the Sears Towers.

Its me me me as much as you eating a hamburger is killing a cow for selfish reasons.

If you were to, say, cut down a tree, we don't generally qualify that as being selfish. Selfishness generally implies that its done at the expense of someone else. I don't consider an organism that has never had a thought to be "someone else."

Careful with this...somebody will now require you to define "thought" and that will take the whole thread from abortion through eating honey/eggs to something else :-)

The problem with IVF is that it results in multiple fertilized embryos, most of which end up being discarded.

I see.

Here's how we did it. We told the Dr not to try to create more than two embryos. We told the Dr to implant all viable embryos (only one of the two was). Amazingly we were the first patients at that clinic to insist upon this. Usually I think they talk people out of it.

Of course we did this so that we would not be discarding any embryos. I can see why people go the 'create 5-9' route but we stood by our convictions. Amidst lots of Dr pressure to not do that.

As I said, it wasn't easy. The Dr puts a lot of pressure on you to create more than you might need.

But it can be done. You just have to insist.

And yes, Ms. BLeP is an admirable woman.

no its not. you abort a fetus, not a possibility of a human. you have no way of knowing if the aborted fetus would have ever survived or aborted on its own.

if you want to talk about the possibility of life as an argument against abortion then you commit a holocaust every time you masturbate. monster!

You are not very good at this. Of course we know what happens to a fetus when not aborted. We have over 7.4 billion examples currently walking around.

More to the point - it is inconceivable to me that a vegan could be "pro-choice."

I suggested this to our veggie loving friend. It's fun watching his mental gymnastics on this issue.

Of course anyone with any kind of grasp on human reproduction would never use such a stupid argument.
