since these "arguments" for abortion are invariably and inevitably recycling the same old platitudes, embryological nonsense, and logic so shallow a fairly bright garden snail could spot the problems, let me say firmly that this is NOT a matter of "difference of opinions." If it were about "opinions" then "opinions" could be swayed by bringing previously unobserved facts onto the scene. This is about something else altogether, which is 1) the assertion that man is sovereign and accountable to no one and 2) the unwillingness to face true moral guilt and thus an insistence to the right to make up our own fantasy world and live in it. When the bible calls someone a "fool" for rejecting reality and common sense, it is not name calling. It is in fact describing our willingness to abandon logic, science, reason and everything else that characterizes sane people for the purpose of doing what we feel we should have the right to do.
This is why reasoning has zero impact in discusssions like this, because the choices are not based on reason, but rather in the face of all reason.
REASON says that, for example, if I pick up a hitchiker in February in Fargo, and drive across the Dakotas in a blizzard, I MAY NOT INSIST ON MY PROPERTY RIGHTS AND FORCE HIM OUT OF MY CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. Even though he is in my car without my permission... I must get him to a spot where he can reasonably expect to live. Moreover, EVEN IF I START OUT ON MY TRIP AND DISCOVER HIM AS A STOWAWAY, if I force him out in a deserted area, I can be charged with a homicide.
So it is with abortion. I have a moral (and what used to be a legal) obligation to attempt to allow this intruder (and an unwelcome child IS an intruder) to exit my property (your body is your property... of all the dumbass assertion by the pro death crowd, they at least got this part right) I must allow the person to exit my property in a way that will reasonably expect their survival. I cannot kill them because I object to them being in the back seat. Nor can I expel them when this means they will almost certainly die. Property rights are high on my list of reasons the gov would exist in the first place, but right to life trumps property rights.
Pro aborts are simply confused, but they are willingly so, preferring to believe illogical and self contradictory nonsense rather than face where logic and reason would naturally take them.
