| Your discomfort with the idea is pointless because it's not going to change the legality of abortion. Wilburforce again with this non-argument. We'll see. How many people throughout history have been sure their rules, their laws, their morals, their empires were immutable? That their way of life wa... |

| I think if abortion was outlawed, it would go back into the back alley, being done with a coat-hanger in unsafe / unsterile conditions, and that's not good. No doubt there will always be some immoral and foolish enough to avert this law. But the number of abortions will drop drastically, which is t... |

| You have a strong opinion about something that will never concern you. I've never understood this passing the buck attitude. It would concern me if one of my children was aborted, it would certainly have affected my life if I had been aborted myself. I'm not a Jew, am I not allowed to say anti-Semi... |

| If the fetus cannot survive long outside the womb and can only expect to live a very short, unpleasant, and painful life, then who does forcing that child to go through that serve, God, or selfish ignorant men like yourself who think they should be allowed to dictate how a mother makes a very diffi... |

| You've done exactly what I said you would, reclassified humanness and personhood to suit your desires and we're back to the root of the problem, the nature of the being inhabiting a womb. I'm well aware of how that argument has been used in the examples given Good, are you not even slightly disturbe... |

| Bodily autonomy *is* indeed sacred, to women. Thank you for seeing that point, and the inconsistency. Our laws are such because lawmaking is a messy attempt to balance appealing to constituencies. I think you missed my point, it's only sacred when women want to justify abortion, and never applies t... |

| I forgot to mention my thoughts on abortion. I mentioned one in an earlier thread. Here's another. Then I shall rebut. It's not a great analogy and I think it has wandered into a separate argument Edenthiel, dealing with the morality of action vs inaction, the question of becoming pregnant vs remai... |

| Hmm should I dive right in once more... Nah not so soon again. If anyone wants to pick up something I said in the other thread I will respond though. The topic always boils down to the same thing, whether the aborted is a human or not. It was left unresolved last time, it will likely remain so this ... |

| So you think science should be blind, but you have no trouble linking a study from a seriously questionable source with a clear bias and agenda. Interesting level of hypocrisy you've got going on there. Hehe I just said it was ammunition for the debate. I read 2 rebuttals of this study before linki... |

| These types of studies are heavily politicised on both sides. Science should be blind. Very true, social science in particular has gone the way of newspaper polls, maybe it was never used in any other way. While polls are now commissioned to influence opinion instead of measuring it, scientific stu... |

| In a world of peace Have you ever pondered how such a world would come about though? As is quickly becoming obvious, multiculturalism is a crock and is going to either tear Europe apart or result in something that will make the holocaust look like a mild dispute. A world of peace would mean one wor... |

| My bad, I got the impression from earlier threads that he was a seeker, interested in, but not from Islam. I also got the impression, which may still be true that he is interested in a rather strict, uncompromising belief system, which is why I suggested Russian Orthodox. If he can see that religion... |

| Oh, why do you say that? The current European crisis that has been in the works for years. The stage is set either for Islamic takeover in decades to come or a revival of Christo-centric conservative nationalism. America is watching and will continue to watch (if it survives its own leftists' misgo... |

| I think Russian Orthodox might suit you. It's a challenge for young men with strict rules on many aspects of life and also provides the strong "extended family" aspect I am sure you found enticing in Islam. You'll also have less troublesome "cultural difficulties" in America in y... |
