It's such an anti-human, pro-death position anyway to state that if you cant live without some external assistance, then you have no rights at all - not even a right to life. The truth is that we all need eachother as much as a foetus needs a mother's womb. We dont become less human if we're sick or lonely or in some other way marginalized lol.

Do you even see the ironic fascism of your argument Nolanjewlan?

I maintain that a living breathing human creature is worth a lot more than a partially-developed one.

Check and mate.

Yeah, and I maintain that we're all created equal - no matter what "defects" we may appear to have at any given stage from conception. We're all "partially-developed" in some way and there is no ideal human other than Our Mother and, ofc, the fruit of her womb.

Oh so you mean the pope is capable of getting it wrong? As are saints?

All men fall short of the glory of God. We - are - all - inviable. Only saved by Grace, sweet and amazing.

I wouldn't say the viability of the foetus is as important as its ability to experience consciousness or loss.

I'm looking at the internet now, and I really don't know how to separate the science from the politics, but it seems as if a baby aborted before around week 17-20 does not have the capacity to experience pain or consciousness. But I do not know these science things.

Lol, the god of grace.

God is hardly in a position to judge us given he is the one who kills babies(LOL).
Yeah but in Exodus the Pharaoh who was killing all the babies was the bad guy, therefore we can take from that the obvious message, don't kill babies because if he had gotten his way Moses would have been killed and then how would we have found out that we weren't supposed to kill, steal, lust and covet?

the majority are actually smacking at the same froce they do at a playful pat on the back. its the circumstance that creates the difference the smack does no harm for example a child knows they are being naughty and so know the smack - which doesnt hurt them - is is because they have been bad.

in summary i got smacked and im all good, if children arnt disciplined and parents arent allowed to use their right of applying resonable discipline especially during the crucial years of a child socialisation the result is negative for the child as they arent taught.
