The fertilized, living egg IS a human being. That's the point.

Cool

You are a moron. No amount of evidence will change your mind.

Well, you're mor-off than mor-on. However, to quote another post in this thread, "No amount of evidence will change your mind."

Cool

Af_newbie you do realize that 50% of the US population is prolife dont you?

The United States anti-abortion movement (or the pro-life movement or right-to-life movement) contains elements opposing induced abortion on both moral and sectarian grounds and supports its legal prohibition or restriction. Advocates generally argue that human life begins at conception and that the human zygote (or embryo or fetus) is a person and therefore has a right to life.

Public opinion is slowly shifting on this topic and we are waking up from our stupor of institutionalized violence against the unborn.

I suspect current trends will continue and society will one day look back on our murderous crimes against the unborn with the same horror we now reserve for other great crimes against humanity.

Truth is not a popularity vote.

It does not matter how many people are for it or against it. Not long ago 99% of people believed that Earth is flat and is in the center of the universe and all the stars revolved around it.

It is what it is.

Anyone who is sane should be for the preservation of life. The question is where you draw the line.

Nature is teeming with life. We grow life in factories just to kill it at a tender age. We grow life only to cut it just when the seeds mature.
We spray chemicals with no end to kill animals and ourselves.

The truth of the matter is that a fertilized egg is not a sentient being, never mind a human being, that develops much later.

This "pro-life" stance is purely dogmatic or I should say political. People who scream they are "pro-life" have no problem ordering a steak or veal, eat eggs and whole animals or use services of the in-vitro clinic. It is really comical.

Basically, the majority of the pro-life folks say: "We are pro-life, no matter what!" and omit to add "as long as it could be a human life".
And the same parrots have no problem going to war and kill children, as long as they are not from their tribe.

If you can show me that a fertilized egg on a petri dish has some brain activity, I am willing to change my mind.
Until then, it is just a bunch of cells.

People who are against stem cell research are uneducated, dogmatic morons, IMHO.

PS. Pull up statistics on evolution, age of the Earth, God creation myth. Does that make any of them true or false? The numbers mean diddly-squat whether the proposition is true or false. Follow the evidence not what people believe at one point in time. 100 years ago women did not have a personhood status. Alan Turing killed himself because he was homosexual and was ordered by the court to either undergo chemical castration or go to prison. Homosexuality was illegal in the UK at the time. The majority of people believed that homosexuals should be castrated, I bet you this was after centuries of reformation, a few hundred years ago homosexuals were just killed, as per the Bible recommendation. Atheists face a death penalty in Saudi Arabia. The majority of people in that country are in favor of this penalty.

PPS. Crimes against humanity? LOL. What about human crimes against nature? They are not important in your book, I guess.
Me, me, me. Humanity is a plague.
