So, it's alive? But it isn't given a chance at life?

Yeah, there's a lot of double-speak involved when it comes to the pro-abortion crowd.

Ha. Orwellian.

Yeah, pretty much. It's alive and a potential human that is killed/removed.

The only reason religious folks get so worked up is because they "know" the zygote/fetus has a soul. A lie that creates a black and white moral situation in their eyes.

There is little doubt that the world in general is more liberal than it was 50 years ago and beyond. Conservatives are simply roadblocks on the path to an ever more progressive and liberal world. What a sad existence.

Forget having a soul. It has the chance to live. That's the most any of us can ask for, right?

That's ridiculous.

Why do you always drag your anti-christian bigotry into the mix?

This has nothing to do with a "soul". It has nothing to do with religion. It has to do with a "life". It is a living person.

Leave your bloody hands off the babies.

I have never read anything hevusa has written that was anti-CHristian.

I've read his anti-religion thoughts, but as an atheist he seems to be an equal religion offender LOL

I haven't read that he thinks Christianity is worse than other religions.

Wow. You tend to be graphic, huh?

No matter. I already mentioned that, the fact that every conceived baby has the potential to live. But nothing is ever guaranteed. That's the problem.

If you forget about the soul all you are left with is a mother and her business. I don't think anyone should be able to dictate what she does with her body.

Do I think abortion should be avoided? Of course!! But it has to be an option for people in a free society.

So you can buy life insurance for a pre-born? Or maybe it isn't quite as straight forward as that Jefferson.
