  1. Someone earlier mentioned how both political parities realistically WANT abortions, that the right just wants to appeal to their small base of religious compatriots in the public eye for the support.

    Honestly, I had not even considered that to be a possibility! So it is quite interesting.

    lol, the straws are getting thin.........

    Having to quote random folks on FB, without even identifying who said it, sound like more fake news.

    I have asked before, and I will ask you again.... Can you quote a single pro lifer that has actually done this.... Not some bad cartoon and made up FB posts? If so, then that might have some legitimacy.

    I think this is the forth time I have asked in this thread, yet it seems to fall on deaf ears. Not one actual legitimate source to these claims.......

  3. Ok, Political Blades...this thread is on another break. Personal attacks and belittling people will not be tolerated.

    What needs to be understood is that if someone has their mind made up about something, there is probably very little chance that you can change that. I can assure you that if you are being hateful, going after their character or launching a personal attack, you have no chance at all of changing their mind.

    However, dialogue and conversation can at least help those having the discussion understand why each person has whatever point of view they may have. It's a mutual respect thing. You don't have to agree with someone to respect the fact that they have the right to their own opinion.

    More pure evil from the pro "choice" crowd..........Forcing religious people to advertise abortion has now been overturned. I expect to see a lot more of this with the new Supreme Court that Trump has assembled.

    Supreme Court Backs Anti-Abortion Pregnancy Centers in Free Speech Case

    Supreme Court Backs Anti-Abortion Pregnancy Centers in Free Speech Case

    WASHINGTON — Ruling for opponents of abortion on free speech grounds, the Supreme Court said on Tuesday that the State of California may not require religiously oriented “crisis pregnancy centers” to supply women with information about how to end their pregnancies.

    Fetal Development: First Trimester
    [​IMG]

    Week 1 & 2 – Gestational Age
    Your menstrual period has just ended, and your body is getting ready for ovulation. For most women, ovulation takes place about 11 – 21 days from the first day of the last period. During intercourse, several hundred million sperm are released in the vagina. Sperm will travel through the cervix and into the fallopian tube.

    If conception takes place, the sperm penetrates an egg and creates a single set of 46 chromosomes called a zygote, which is the basis for a new human being. The fertilized egg spends a couple days traveling through the fallopian tube toward the uterus, dividing into cells ; it is called a morula. The morula becomes a blastocyst and will eventually end up in the uterus. Anywhere from day 6-12 after conception, the blastocyst will imbed into the uterine lining and begin the embryonic stage.

    Week 3 – Gestational Age (Fetal Development – Week 1)
    The embryo is going through a lot of basic growth at this time, with the beginning development of the brain, spinal cord, heart, and gastrointestinal tract.

    Week 4 & 5 – Gestational Age (Fetal Development – Weeks 2 & 3)
    Arm and leg buds are visible, but not clearly distinguishable. The heart is now beating at a steady rhythm. The placenta has begun to form and is producing some important hormones including hCG. There is movement of rudimentary blood through the main vessels. The early structures that will become the eyes and ears are forming. The embryo is ¼ inch long by the end of these weeks.

    Week 6 – Gestational Age (Fetal Development – Week 4)
    The formation of the lungs, jaw, nose, and palate begin now. The hand and feet buds have webbed structures that will become the fingers and toes. The brain is continuing to form into its complex parts. A vaginal ultrasound can possibly detect an audible heartbeat at this time. The embryo is about ½ inch in length.

    Week 7 – Gestational Age (Fetal Development – Week 5)
    At 7 weeks gestation, every essential organ has begun to form in the embryo’s tiny body, even though it still weighs less than an aspirin. The hair and nipple follicles are forming, and the eyelids and tongue have begun formation. The elbows and toes are more visible as the trunk begins to straighten out.

    Week 8 – Gestational Age (Fetal Development – Week 6)
    The ears are continuing to form externally and internally. Everything that is present in an adult human is now present in the small embryo. The bones are beginning to form, and the muscles can contract. The facial features continue to mature, and the eyelids are now more developed. The embryo is about 1 inch long and is the size of a bean.

    Weeks 9 thru 13 – Gestational Age (Fetal Development – Weeks 7 thru 11)
    At 10 weeks, the embryo is at the end of the embryonic period and begins the fetal period. The fetus has grown to about 3 inches in length and weighs about an ounce. The genitalia have clearly formed into male or female, but still can not be seen clearly on an ultrasound. The eyelids close and will not reopen until the 28th week of pregnancy. The fetus can make a fist, and the buds for baby teeth appear. The head is nearly half the size of the entire fetus.

  7. I've read through this thread, and must agree that abortions should be an option, but under very limited circumstances. I.e. Rape, severe life threatening birth defects, mother ability to survive. Yes, that 1-2%.

    I am not "pro choice" when it comes to abortion. Because "pro choice" is only woman's choice. Why is it only the woman's "right to choose" to have a baby? Because she carries it? You say she has the right to not have an unwanted baby, but force a man to support the child he doesn't want, that she chooses to have. Where is the father's right to be "pro choice".

    I completely agree a man made the decision to have sex, and should be responsible to care for the child. And the woman made the same decision and should be responsible to care for the child. "Without choice" you made your decision when you had sex, with or without birth control.

    When do "pro choices" end, at what age? There was an argument submitted that without abortion ther would be 60 million unwanted, poor people feeding off of others. That same argument could be used to "abort" the millions of homeless people, poor people (statistically have the majority of abortions), and disabled people who may not have a wonderful life. We as a nation don't want poor people, we want them all to prosper. But hey, if it's too much of a responsibility for us to deal with, we should be able to choose to abort them?

    I hope it's obvious that I have been a bit sarcastic in my comments, but I believe my point is clear.

  8. Very good points, and well said.

    Another point I would add where contradictions in current thinking lies:

    An argument made for abortion is a fetus is not a life. However when a women who is pregnant is murdered, it's charged as a double murder.

    Unborn Victims of Violence Act
    The Unborn Victims of Violence Act of 2004 (Public Law 108-212) is a United States law which recognizes an embryo or fetus in utero as a legal victim, if they are injured or killed during the commission of any of over 60 listed federal crimes of violence. The law defines "child in utero" as "a member of the species Homo sapiens, at any stage of development, who is carried in the womb".[1]

    The law is codified in two sections of the United States Code: Title 18, Chapter 1 (Crimes), §1841 (18 USC 1841) and Title 10, Chapter 22 (Uniform Code of Military Justice) §919a (Article 119a).

    The law applies only to certain offenses over which the United States government has jurisdiction, including certain crimes committed on federal properties, against certain federal officials and employees, and by members of the military. In addition, it covers certain crimes that are defined by statute as federal offenses wherever they occur, no matter who commits them, such as certain crimes of terrorism.

    Because of principles of federalism embodied in the United States Constitution, federal criminal law does not apply to crimes prosecuted by the individual states. However, 38 states also recognize the fetus or "unborn child" as a crime victim, at least for purposes of homicide or feticide.[2]

    The legislation was both hailed and vilified by various legal observers who interpreted the measure as a step toward granting legal personhood to human fetuses, even though the bill explicitly contained a provision excepting abortion, stating that the bill would not "be construed to permit the prosecution" "of any person for conduct relating to an abortion for which the consent of the pregnant woman, or a person authorized by law to act on her behalf", "of any person for any medical treatment of the pregnant woman or her unborn child" or "of any woman with respect to her unborn child."

    However, the reticence of a federal law to authorize federal prosecution of a particular act committed under federal jurisdiction does not prevent states from passing their own laws against the act committed under their jurisdiction. Meanwhile, the definition of all unborn babies as “members of the species homo sapiens” in section (d) says essentially what proposed “personhood” laws say.[3] Sponsors of such proposals say such legal language will trigger the “collapse” clause in Roe v. Wade, by establishing what Roe said must be established for legal abortion to end.[4] Several state supreme courts have ruled that sections (a) through (c) are not threatened by Roe,[5] but no court has addressed whether Roe can survive the triggering of its “collapse” clause by section (d).

    The bill contained the alternate title of Laci and Conner's Law after the California mother (Laci Peterson) and fetus (Conner Peterson) whose deaths were widely publicized during the later stages of the congressional debate on the bill in 2003 and 2004. Husband Scott Peterson was convicted of double homicide under California's fetal homicide law.

  9. Yeah, and when someone is robbed at gun point they also try to prosecute for kidnapping, which is also an over-reach by prosecutors.

  10. So, essentially there is only one legal definition of when a fetus is a human being, as being when the mother doesn't "choose" to kill it. So, if the mother had an appt to have an abortion and is stabbed in the stomach enroute and the woman lives and the fetus dies....is that murder? Or should it be practicing medicine without a license. After all, the service the mother wanted was provided. Any "anti-lifers" want a shot at answering this?

    And yes, I used "anti-lifer"..... just as applicable as "anti-choice"

    Actually, most States consider kidnapping as moving the victim from one location to another under force or the threat of force.
    And yes in some instances it can be reaching, but don't robb someone and you will have no worries.

    Here is another interesting point of view I would love the chance to respond...... to this idea in general. This thread it's much less off topic, so I moved the post over here. Reposted for reference.

    This idea in general ignores science, and I consider science denying. One would have to ignore basic human physiology to pretend a life at this point isn't a human life. Not only that, but with modern science even if we found this above picture in the middle of a street, a scientist could do a DNA sample and conclude beyond a reasonable doubt that sea horse like creature is actually a human. Not only that, but if they had the blood data from the parents, they could link that DNA to the parents, which would also be human. They could even tell if that sea horse looking human was related to past kings.

    I know it was just a meme, but a great example on how some people may think, and how I believe they are mistaken.

    Those who showed interest in the other thread.

    @NumeroUno
     
  15. Tell me what you meant then, because that was what I picked up.
     
  16. The only thing meant by that was that prosecutors do get over zealous in their charges.
    Depending on the age of the fetus it could be a double murder, but any murder should carry enough of a charge to be both a deterrent and a long imprisonment.

    Only one of those could become a human.

    :smoke:
     
  17. Actually the law says it's double murder, no matter the date. As I already posted.

    So what is it in the latter case? Male practice....... lol.
     
  18. Yes, only one is a human, not become. The DNA sample from those five would show one clearly as a human.
    Science proves this beyond a reasonable doubt.

  19. I will just go ahead and quote this one more time, as I noticed not a single anti lifer even tried to respond.

     
  20. The male practice flew over my head.
    It is not a universal law and in some States it has to be the "willful".

    http://www.ncsl.org/research/health/fetal-homicide-state-laws.aspx
    State Fetal Homicide Laws

    Currently, at least 38 states have fetal homicide laws: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia and Wisconsin. At least 29 states have fetal homicide laws that apply to the earliest stages of pregnancy ("any state of gestation/development," "conception," "fertilization" or "post-fertilization"); these are indicated below with an asterisk (*).
