[QUOTE=itsacrucifiction;18970]BS! A recent poll shows 72% believe abortion is a private decision between a woman and her doctor, while 69% also view abortion as the taking of a human life (Source)

In other words, we are well aware abortion kills an unborn. At the same time, we know that killing is nowhere near equivalent to killing a married mother of three kids, solely due to the fact an unborn is not a person.[/QUOTE]


Yes, you itsa may be quite well aware that you are supporting the taking of a human life. It is quite evident that you don't care.

[QUOTE=redkim;18955]I can just as easily say "protect the fetuses" as I am saying "protect the children." The difference between you and I is that I recognize the fetus for what it is: a human life; a human being. You don't. I'm calling a spade a spade. Would that the pro-abortion side would as well.[/QUOTE]

I call a fetus a fetus. I don't distort the definition.

69% of the population agree, while 72% agree it's a decision between a woman and her doctor. You are the odd man out here.

And why should anyone care? Given that 88% of abortions occur by the 13th week of pregnancy, what is killed is not even 3 inches long, has a tail and looks much like a salamander. We should no more feel guilty than we would if we laid a mousetrap that resulted in the death of a mouse. Would you get all huffy and cry over the death of a mouse? If not, then it should be simple to understand why 72% care not one whit that an embryo is killed in an abortion.

The prolife argument is abortion is wrong because it takes a human life.
Society answers, "So what? It's nowhere near the same as killing a person, so who cares?"

[QUOTE=redkim;19007]No strawman involved. I was just showing the absurdity of your argument: the fetus is not yet a baby so it's okay to abort it if a woman wants.[/QUOTE]

Do you even know what a straw man argument is?

Wikipedia definition:

"To "set up a straw man" or "set up a straw man argument" is to create a position that is easy to refute, then attribute that position to the opponent. Often, the straw man is set up to deliberately overstate the opponent's position."

Suggesting that we call a baby an adult is easy to refute and it clearly overstated my position.

yeah, and  I wasn't even suggesting it seriously.
