Abortion.

Jan 24, 2007 12:37

At conception; life is born. I hold life to be sacred, so a framework of my argument must be based on a moral approach. To take this into consideration, and understand that human life is sacred, I must prove that a fetus/child is a human, a person and alive. Scripture supports the moral decision of taking innocent life, so instead of taking this ( Read more... )

tl; dr.

pro-choice. let ppl do with themselves as they will. that is my all-encompassing argument. as always, don't bother refuting it. ;-)

edit: skimmed the beginning and your definition of terms, under your definition set [most definitely not shared amongst everyone;] yes, abortion is murder and thusly wrong. but hell, i'd like to think im fairly capable of taking a human life with little to no remorse. under what conditions idk, i've never killed anyone.

so, let ppl do w/e the hell they want so long as it makes them happy. i would never support someone bringing a child into the world when they are not able to support it. now that is wrong, imo.

Good to hear from you. Hows life treating you? Fair?

"so, let ppl do w/e the hell they want so long as it makes them happy. i would never support someone bringing a child into the world when they are not able to support it. now that is wrong, imo."

The issue about letting people do whatever they want to do is that if what they're doing treads upon someone elses civil rights, than a crime is being commited. I try making the argument that unborn children have those same rights, because they're human lives and persons.

PS: I dropped out of the frat 3 days before initiation.

While I find your argument extremely well thought out logical and all around a persuasive...you have to remember one thing if I were to change some of the definitions to what I believe them to be the argument is no longer cogent and thus falls apart ( ... )

The sperm argument doesn't work because it doesn't contain everything needed to create human life. It's missing one key component: The egg ( ... )

Oh, and I know you'll want to cover on the governmental argument. I've heard a bunch of comments against it (What of married couples too old for children, what of married couples who can't have children, etc etc).

I'll said you the full argument with all it's responses to these questions

Marriage I will have to agree is a religiously loaded term, but we can argue all day the merits of the bibles "clear stance" on opposing gay unions (MARRIAGE!) and more importantly its stance on opposing homosexuality at all, but aside from that the governments primary responsibility is to uphold and protect the rights of all citizens, let no man stand above another, the government has no right to tell one person who in fact they can or can not enter into a legal contractual agreement with, and for the purposes of not hurting your eyes ill use a more secular phrase, i.e. civil unions, or what our society has come to known as marriage...not granting homosexuals a right to marry is a clear digression of what the constitutions lays out as "Equal Protection and Rights" but anyway while i hardly think I gave an adequate argument here you know where im headed with this, lol ( ... )
