Yes I know thunder, it was a response to a similarly ridiculous statement by real life, who says his abortion survivor would be dead today if the abortion had succeeded.


Your comparison is ludicrous, Eorl.

If an egg and sperm never join together, there is no living being created. No pro-life people are suggesting that an unfertilized egg, or a sperm cell are living human beings.

Gianna Jensen was growing in the womb when a saline abortion was attempted. The chemical solution did not cause a complete abortion and she is alive still today.

Now perhaps you can address the question squarely (though I doubt it):

Would you have preferred that the saline abortion that was attempted had been successful in exterminating Gianna Jensen?

I havn't read all the posts on this thread for obvious reasons. but from the ones i have read, it seams pro-life is under-represented. I am pro-life, i am religious but i am not going to give a religious argument because that would mean that you would all have to believe that God exists

Take the term: pro-life. abortion aside, aren't we all pro-life. don't we all love life.

Jean Paul Sartre (an atheist) says that in acting in a particular way, we reccomend for others to act in the same way. e.g. if we smoke, we are reccomending that it is a good way to act.

So surely if we all (most of us anyway) love life, then we are reccomending to others that life is good, living is good. We are not telling them to kill their unborn children!

Actually we don't even have to enjoy life, we just have to live.

If you want these children dead, then show that death is good; recommend it to others - it's the only way.

Of course not real life. You seem to forget (often) that I'm not in favour of abortion.

As for Gianna, without all the facts of this case (such as why it was attempted so late and why it failed) I'm not in a position to judge it (unlike you it seems).

The comparison is valid in the sense that she would not know if she had never been born....may I remind you (again) of the 50% of ALL foetuses who do not make it to birth ... none of them seem to be complaining, and nor would have the potential person who eventually became Gianna if the abortion had been successful.

You argue that no-one says a sperm is alive...why not? It all comes down to where YOU decide to draw the line for everybody else.

Simplistic christian rhetoric there dude.

May I presume that like some christians here.... you are in favour of murdering women who abort foetuses? ( who may or may NOT eventually become "children" )

What about the lives of young girls who take foolish drastic actions like illegal abortions...are you OK with their death?....or is that "not your problem" as others here like to point out.

Nobody has an abortion for fun...and very few are "in favour" of abortion in general...and yet most people see the need for it to be legal.

Whoa....I haven't read anything that said any Christian was in favour of murdering anybody. If I missed it, point me to it.

You are in favor of abortion being legal and readily available to anyone who wants one, are you not? Is there any legal restriction you are willing to put on abortion?

The facts are readily apparent. Gianna was growing in the womb. A poisonous saline solution was introduced into the womb to exterminate her. The length of gestation is of no consequence legally since Roe v Wade did not prohibit this abortion and had nullified laws that would have prohibited it. So the abortionist was perfectly within legal bounds to perform the abortion.

All the folks that have been killed by drunk drivers last year are not complaining about it today either. What a lame argument you have come to.

Actually what I said was that a sperm is not a living human being.

Why not? Well, like a lot of things in this subject that you do not seem to grasp, this has a simple medical answer.

A sperm does not have the required number of chromosomes to be considered a living human being.

Gianna does have the required number, and did at the time the abortion was attempted. She had a beating heart , brain waves and is still suffering today from the attempt on her life. An attempt that you have yet to denounce, but on the contrary, you have continued to assert should be kept perfectly legal.

Again.... Where did a Christian say that they wanted capital punishment for a woman who aborts her unborn child?

Well, the abortion doctor, yes. I say that because odds are he's done more than one and thus, in my opinion, is committing mass murder.

The woman? Hmmm. For the first abortion, at the very least she should be indicted for conspiracy to commit murder.

More than one abortion, yes. The death penalty. I think anyone that commits mass, serial, multiple murders should get the death penalty.

Yes, I said that. But, if you will notice Eorl, I said anyone that commits mass, serial, multiple murders should get the death penalty.

If a woman has multiple abortions for convenience sake, then yes, I feel she deserves the death penalty. And, I will stand by that comment.

I pulled a hair out of my head this morning...it had the right DNA for your definition...in fact it has the potential of becoming a complete human being through cloning....did I commit murder?

It was not capable of swimming or reacting to stimuli like a sperm cell can.

BTW there is a big difference between what I grasp and what I accept as true.

Don't presume to know what I grasp.

you obviously did not read my post properly. I argued the moral philosophy of Jean Paul Sartre AN ATHEIST. He argues that in acting in any given way, we recommend that action as a 'good' action.

I said we all live, and are therefore recommending life as 'good'

If you want death for others you must first of all recommend it - show them that it is good

AN ATHEIST ARGUMENT

I read it properly.

The "death for others" is the all important phrase here nick.

Your entire argument assumes a complete human being exists from day one at fertilization (as does every pro-lifer I've met so far) ie. the "others" to whom "death" might be recommended.

I disagree with that assumption...so the rest of your argument is pointless no matter who you are quoting.

If the hair was left in your head instead of being plucked, and it was protected and nourished, would it have become a living human being?
