So, do you really think we won't find a way for parthenogenesis to work within Humankind?
So what does CLONING have to do with the fact that abortion is MURDER?

NOTHING. Absolutely NOTHING.


You're spinning in circles, trying to explain away why MURDER is okay. And you're not very good at it.

You're not muddying it for me or any others who have comprehensional abilities. All you do prove is how disingenuous you can get to protect your agenda.
I was continuing the line of thought presented earlier. Go back and you will see it.

It any case, it depends upon how you define life. I sperm and an ova are living, yes?

A tumor is also living, to the detriment of it's host. By technical definition, an embryo/fetus falls into the 'parasite' category. I don't view pregnancy in that way, but I recognize the parallels.

It is simply beyond the realm of logic that you would compare a tumor and an unborn baby.

Do you even THINK about these things before you write them?

If you like, I can locate the scientific paper published after they used two ova to create a viable, reproductive female mouse, but what would be the point if you won't even read a simple article such as that one?
Naturally? or artificially? I rest my case....on this particular argument.

Isn't she talking about something done by that Chinese scientist who was later proven to be a complete fraud, and liar?


How ironic that a pro-abortionist links a site that is pure lies.

A baby is, at conception, a human being. If you pro-abortionists will simply keep your murderous instruments away from it, it will be born - as it should be.


And let's stop they nonsense about how abortion is a woman's only choice. That's an absolute LIE. 99+% of all abortions are NOTHING more than convenience. Period.

More killing, anyone?
The cell formed at conception is human. No one is arguing that fact. If you are using 'human being' in the context as PRSON, I would be inclined to disagree with your opinion.

I suppose that it is necessary to ask directly... What is your logical reason why abortion should not be allowed? I understand and respect that you have a strong emotional response, but I want to hear the logic, not the emotion.

To grant the right to be gestated by a woman to ONLY ONE of those cells and not ALL of those cells on an individual basis is clearly inconsistent, in my mind.

(So much, again, for fertilization being the so-called "beginning of individual human life.")

I don't hear any logical discussion in that response.

Please rephrase.

Simple. Abortion is murder.

Look at the pictures - if you dare pique your seared conscience.


Any more questions?

If you would like to post a link showing that this was a fraud, I would be glad to read it.
