You say crap like this, and then complain when people state that you are a bigot.
Amazing.
Over and over again you demonstrate that you use "homo" as a slur, yet you lie and pretend you don't. And you think people believe you???
Amazing!

I never argued what you claimed. Strawman argument on your part.

In fact, if you had actually ATTEMPTED to THINK, you would have realized that I wasn't saying what you claimed...

I said: "Abortion is legal. And with good reason."

Does that sound like I was arguing that the REASON abortion is okay is because it is legal???

Yes abortion is legal. It is legal in this country to murder human beings in the womb and you support that.

Personally, I typically attempt to stay out of abortion discussions due to the nature of the debates. Too many personal standards based on religion and opinion. Too much grey area where people are convinced there is none.
THIS is NOT grey area. These are FACTS that you don't want to deal with because it doesn't set well with your agenda.

The problem with the XYZ generation is that they pick and choose what they want to believe....to hell with the facts. When facts are placed under their noses, they exclaim, "Well, that's just your opinion."

The articles I've provided, foundit, are based on MEDICAL FACTS, not religion and/or opinion.

Now we all know why you don't wish to debate the facts. It's simply because you wish to ignore them. Isn't that right?

That's fine with the rest of us. Bow out like a man. You don't know the facts, moreover, you don't want to know them. It goes against the grain of your opinions. IOWs, these kind of facts stick in your craw....don't they?

There was a saying that went around in the court system where I was once employed that went like this: "It might be legal, but it doesn't make it right." Murder is murder any way you want to slice it.

No. What I said was the reason IS the reason why I don't typically get involved in these discussions.
Too much sensationalism.

Earlier in this thread, I asked a few questions regarding abortion and everybody's opinion. It was ignored unilaterally.

People would rather throw out labels like "murderer" and "baby-killer" than actually DISCUSS this issue. That's all alias just did. He just called me names. Similarly with Jefferson.

ROFLMAO!!!
Oh man. That brought a tear to my eye...

You don't know HOW MANY of Alias's statements can be summed up with what you just said.

Tell me what "facts" I am disregarding.

FACTS do not dictate morality.
A fetus cannot feel pain up until XX point in the pregnancy.
A fetus does not have a heart-beat up until the YY stage in the pregnancy.
A fetus has _____ at ZZ stage in the pregnancy.

Those are facts, but WHAT THEY MEAN and the CONCLUSIONS DRAWN from those facts are not "facts".
Suppose a person declares that he approves of abortion up until the fetus can feel pain.
Is he declaring a "fact", or his "opinion"?

You disapproving of abortion is not a "fact", but your opinion.

Nope. Not at all.
In fact earlier I tried to get a discussion going on the fetal heart-beat. Unfortunately, I didn't appreciate the semantics of my "fact", but I was trying myself.

Go back and see if you like...

Man. You just rant on and on and on and on...
But you're saying nothing but inaccurate speculation.

THIS crap is why I don't like getting involved in these discussions. People get overly emotional like you are now, making wild allegations and rewriting situations for your own convenience.
Like your allegations of me and my motives. Pure bullsh!t. You don't know me, but you've made your post about ME and NOT abortion.

Too much propagandic rhetoric crap and too little rational discussion.

And this just further proves my point.
NEITHER ONE of you seems to be able to accurately figure out what I wasn't saying "legal makes it right".

But you're too busy making up those claims to be bothered with what I ACTUALLY said.

Here is a fact for you foundout. You support mudering human beings in the womb. You keep making those hoops for you to jump through, but that does not change this simple fact.

Observer put up this link: http://www.abortionfacts.com/online_...em_both_32.asp

I clicked on it in an attempt to figure out if rationale discourse was possible, but in looking at the web-site, I realize quite completely that it just plain IS NOT with somebody who actually thinks this way...

From his article:

"THE WEST IS DYING
Overpopulation is largely a hoax
To determine whether a nation is growing or dying, we must examine three factors: birth rate . . . death rate . . . immigration. "

It goes on to compare statistics which are largely in place due to the historic baby boom and people's decisions to not have as many babies in today's society.

But what does the article attempt to do? It attempts to claim that our nation is "dying" because our population is not GROWING as it has in the past...

That (amongst other things) and that our generational statistics have dramatically shifted inbetween 1980 and 2020 (BECAUSE OF THE BABY BOOM)...

Oh yeah. We are "dying" because our GROWTH RATE (note, it's STILL a growth rate) is not as big as it was in prior years.
And oh yeah. "Overpopulation is largely a hoax"...

And one other thing? The vast majority of the article DOES NOT EVEN TRY to blame this situation on "abortion". In fact, the vast majority of the article DOES NOT EVEN TRY to invoke "abortion" at all.

Except for a few statements at the end, a couple of which boggle the mind. It demonstrates PRECISELY the type of inane lack of logic which puts me off these discussions.

"Should we encourage American farmers and industrial workers to kill their own pre-born children or should we stay strong, have children, and help to teach those other farmers and workers to be more productive?"

Oh yeah. Legalized abortion is about "encouraging American farmers and industrial workers to kill their own pre-born children"....

Alias just repeats this over and over again like it's a mantra. I have tried to put out statements to encourage DIALOGUE and an open EXAMINATION of people's positions, but all Alias can do is repeat a phrase over and over again....

Tell me Alias.
If a fetus is not alive until the fetal heart-beat, and I support abortion up until the fetal heart-beat, doesn't that mean I do not support "murder"?

A heartbeat can be detected now at 6 weeks or earlier. It gets earlier all the time as our tecnology increases. Just because we can detect it at 6 weeks does not mean this is not a human being. You are still murdering a human being if you abort. You are playing God with a Human life. Yes, you support murder.
