Your argument IS a bad one, not because I don't like it, but because it has little to no relevance to my argument. It is NOT the logical evolution of my argument. You see my argument is based on the idea that the individual mother has the right to chose what she allows to happen to her own body. We as a society do not have the right to kill people who are a drain, that's just wrong, because those people have rights themselves. I am arguing that a fetus, is not a person and has no rights. In my opinion until you have emerged from the womb, you have no rights that your mother does not grant you. Period. | Your very own words were "a human that is a parasytic organism in another human's body." Those were your words, so tell me again how my argument has little relevance to yours. You opened yourself up for my argument by saying a human that is a parasitic organism. You say that we as a people do not have a right to kill people who are a drain because they have rights themselves. Now you are tempering your argument by claiming that until you emerge from the womb you do not have these rights. You are the one who changed in mid-argument your clarification, if you meant to talk about a fetus, you should have used that word, but you used the word human. Therefore, it is your argument that was bad, and again you only dislike it now because I was able to use your own logical against you.
dmk Conservatism, I repeat is not an ideology. It does not breed fanatics....But if you want men who seek, reasonably and prudently, to reconcile the best in wisdom of our ancestors with the change which is essential to a vigorous civil social existence, then you will do well to turn to conservative principles
