Can you imagine how mad everyone would get if we did to animals what we did to children in abortion?
1) There are no children involved in abortions. Children are born. The term you are looking for is fetus.
2) Animal abortions do happen, because sometimes things go wrong with pregnancies.
I’m not vegan or vegetarian, but I do want to point...
scientiststhesis asked: Yes, it was the criticism of the other person's argument :P
atheist-feminism:
The appropriate response to someone asking you not to make a rape joke is not “What, were you raped or something?”
Yeah, definitely fucking not. If someone says “What, were raped or something?” You’re going to have to ask them if their humanity is broken.
scientiststhesis asked: What I mean is that the degree of cognition of a newborn is akin to that of a parrot, or a dog. So any criterion of "personhood" that includes human adults but doesn't include parrots and dogs must automatically exclude unborn humans.
Anonymous asked: Cool. How far do those rights extend then? In other words do rights start once you have taken your first breath or when part of the body is out? At what point if any is a fetus too far along to not be aborted. If that makes sense. Eh. Rape is a real factor in abortion. It should be addressed.
queriesofaqueer replied to your post: So when are you going to address those other asks? Or do you not have a logical answer? You’re not done you’re “A+ arguing” yet.
not to make this about me or anything, but I dislike that someone with their head so obviously and viciously shoved up their own ass is quoting me
Hear that, pushy anon? Better watch who you’re quoting. qOq isn’t to...
Anonymous asked: Your analogy is similar to the cancer analogy. Sorry but those patients still have options for life in those situations and their right to life is still respected. An abortion only has one option and the one being aborted doesn't get to choose.
Anonymous asked: I'm proj-choice. Abortion should be made available to woman as long as it's rare and safe. Normally I would agree with most of what you say but today you could have done a little better at defending our view. It came off as insult without substance. Just my opinion. But I agree. Abortion should be kept legal.
scientiststhesis asked: Also, I should point out that fetuses/embryos aren't people by any standard that includes all adult humans but doesn't include parrots, dolphins or bonobo monkeys.
scientiststhesis asked: Regarding the "agree to disagree" person, according to Aumann's Agreement Theorem, no two rationalists possessing the same information can disagree on a factual matter. If two people disagree, at least one of them is necessarily wrong.

Anonymous asked: Do you agree with batatonia that because a child is conceived through rape that makes them a punishment? When do rights begin? Only after birth? Legitimate question.
batatonia asked: "it is wrong to punish a child for an evil man's actions so let's punish the woman instead by putting her through 9 months of hell as something she doesn't want inside her grows and makes her sick and fatigued"
bringontheflamesforgetthefame asked: Once again, we can agree to disagree. And once again, if you want me to respond to your statement I will.
bringontheflamesforgetthefame asked: Obviously we can only agree on one thing, and that is to disagree. I respect your opinions although I strongly disagree with them. If you would like me to respond directly to your last statement I will otherwise I'm going to drop the conversation because it's not going anywhere and we aren't going to agree on anything.
Anonymous asked: oh, okay! well thanks for bringing it to my attention. i always appreciate fighting the good fight on my dashboard

Anonymous asked: thank you so much for the kidney patient analogy. it is perfect - i plan on using it the next time someone tells me my uterus isn't mine to decide on.
bringontheflamesforgetthefame asked: As an aside. If you think PP gives all the options to woman and their partners when they find out they are pregnant without it being planned, you could not be more mistaken.
bringontheflamesforgetthefame asked: get to say "I'm ending your life now like it or not." Now I'm assuming abortion in the case of rape is going to come up. Abortion for rape is ~1% of abortion cases. I do not support rape, and I believe that any woman who has gone through that deserves support while she overcomes such a disgusting situation. That being said it is wrong to punish the child for an evil mans...
bringontheflamesforgetthefame asked: Heads up this will probably take two messages to answer you. An infant/fetus you pick the terminology, cannot live outside of the womb that early at this point in our scientific advances. Unlike a kidney patient, the child cannot make choices about what they can do to stay alive. The kidney on the other hand is given the option to choose what courses of action they want to try and stay alive....
bringontheflamesforgetthefame asked: "Justice for ALL" not "Justice for those outside the womb and if it's convenient for you." And once again you are putting words into somebody else's mouth. I never said you couldn't state your opinion. But you keep you keep twisting facts to work for your benefit if that's the only way you know how to back yourself up.
As it was decreed by our forefathers:
Reblogging a controversial remark with a strongly worded counterpoint shall be akin to limiting the original blogger’s free speech. For how can speech be free is others are using their free speech as well?
bringontheflamesforgetthefame asked: I don't give a damn if you're a mean guy or not. I want you to show respect towards others despite disagreeing with them which you did not do. Show everyone reading this where she said: she is better than anyone else,knows everything about pregnancy, or calling anyone a sinner? Murdering a child because you don't want to deal with the consequences is shameful. Seeing what she's...
bringontheflamesforgetthefame asked: thatgirlpaula never said she knew everything and she sure as heck did not say she was your "lord." How about showing some maturity and trying to have an intelligent conversation with others who disagree with you. She responded with respect and you straight out attacked her. And if you read any of her bio you would know she has actually has an extensive knowledge in the medical field.
Anonymous asked: It almost seems like you're more into insulting people then explaining your views. I'm not even sure you have a real point. just bashing others beliefs for the hell of it.
thatgirlpaula asked: You have jumped to the conclusion that I have not had experience with anyone who has had an abortion or considered abortion while in reality I grew up with women who went through abortion. Don't assume that my adoption is my only motivating factor. I assure you it is not. If you want my full story you may message me. But know that apart from fallopian tube pregnancies, I am pro-life. Like it...
thatgirlpaula asked: If speaking the truth to you is considered bullying then so be it! What I am saying is that their are children out there being murdered who are in the exact same situation as I was in. And it would not have been okay for her to abort me. Life is life. Murder is murder. I have every right to speak the truth whether you like it or not!

LOL. Okay believe that I’m two stupid to read, when really you’re so irrelevant to me that I didn’t want to even look at your bullshit paragraphs. You have no real argument.
Why would I think otherwise? You came right out and said you didn’t read iit because it was too long. You think I have no argument? It’s easy for you to say that...
thatgirlpaula:
It pisses me off how many people on this website would have told my birthmother that it was okay to abort me given her situation! I am a human being! I always was a human being not “Just a fetus!” Thank God that she was smart enough and had the conviction to turn around and not listen to people like you!
It would have been OK for her to abort you and just because she...

A new app allows you to scan a product in the supermarket aisle and learn who exactly is behind that box of cereal. More impressively, you can join user-created campaigns to boycott groups of companies who may have lobbied against a cause you believe in.
This world, man. Just when I think everything about it sucks it does something awesome and totally redeems itself.

Wealthy mothers are foregoing FastPasses and hiring disabled tour guides so their families can skip long lines at Disney World.
The New York Post reported on Tuesday that rich Manhattan mothers were paying “black-market Disney guides” as much as $130 an hour or $1,040 for an eight-hour day.

My grandma is already trying to teach my two year old cousin to follow Christianity. And when I told her that he should be allowed to choose his own religion she got pretty pissed and said I was trying to force everyone to be an atheist.
On a side note, I thought it was Monday.
So, not forcing him to be a Christian is forcing him to be an atheist. It’s disturbing how...

Persecution
musicandgod:
“For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.” (NIV 1 Corinthians 1:18) We see what this verse tells us everyday. People look at us as foolish, even though they are perishing.
Well, this amounts to nothing more than name calling. Real mature for the supposed divine creator.
thegrimadventuresofme:
My dad has attributed my better grades this semester to his praying multiple times.
No. I did well because I fucking tried harder, not because you prayed to your false god.
Great job on both your grades and your ability to see past superstition!

If there is no God, then what is our purpose?
Whatever we want it to be? To Love and be loved in return? To be excellent to one another?
There is no purpose without God.
Yes there is. See? I can just make broad sweeping assertions too.

Or I might say to watch TV all day, what do you care?
but what purpose does that serve other than to make...

As an Agnostic. Atheists cannot disprove God, neither can they deny that he exists scientifically speaking. Agnostics are the only real science thinking people without bias.
Wrong, people claiming to be agnostic are atheists too because atheists are people who do not believe a god exists, not simply people who believe no god exists. Learn the difference, stop...
