Unless we are cooking chickens here:

I fully realize that it's not going to get me very far with a bunch of ultra-liberal, closed-minded pro-abortionists.

But your failure to grasp the truth is not a commentary on the truth.

Abortion kills innocent, un-born babies.
Capital punishment (if done correctly) kills people who are murderers.

HUGE difference. Even a closed-minded liberal ought to be able to see that.

The difference in discussion here is between executing a child who has committed murder and an adult who has committed murder.

An abortion does not kill a baby, it kills a zygote.

Unless you think an egg should start being referred to as a chicken.

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.

Any way the liberal baby-haters want to argue it, LATE TERM ABORTIONS KILL BABIES. You can spin it all you like, but it is FACT.

You're dancing with semantics, trying to determine WHEN the "zygote/fetus' becomes a human. ...and good luck with that one, God.

Good.

But I'll guarantee you that, within your lifetime, you're going to be facing another huge moral dilemma.

Babies are ALREADY living outside the womb at 4 & 5 months of gestation. It's only a matter of time until it becomes earlier than that.

Are you then going to be willing to admit that a baby - at 4 months of gestation - is a human? It'll be VERY hard not too, won't it?

Honestly, I don't care whether the fetus is a baby or whatever. I care about the individual life of the mother. It's her body. As far as I'm concerned, until that baby is born, it's a part of her body. If a finger is cancerous or gangrenous, if it is taking life, liberty and the persuit of happiness away, then why shouldn't it be removed?

It's not that I hate babies. It's that I care about the lives of human beings who are unquestionably alive more than contraversial humans.

Actually, you are medically and factually WRONG.

The pre-born baby is NOT part of the mother's body.

And you've also exposed your hypocrisy and double standard: You care about the humans YOU care about, and are willing to MURDER humans that YOU DON'T care about.

Pretty sad, but thanks for exposing your callous, unfeeling view of children.

I think I was exposing the libertarian view of personal liberty, but I suppose you can interpret things how you choose.

The whatever you want to call it is lodged inside the uterus and recieves nutrients through diffusion.

The fact of the matter is that this questionably human thing is imposing on the rights of an unquestionably human thing. If someone came into your house and started stealing things, what would you do?

You've already stated that you're willing to kill un-born babies for the sake of a pregnant woman's convenience.

I don't think you need to keep talking...

No, you keep putting words in people's mouth when you call them babies.
