Somebody has to continue the human race don't they? You did not answer the previous post.

I'm not interested in marrying but many gays are. And many gays are xians, Jews and followers of other faiths. Being wed in the church/etc of their faith is as important to them as it is to any breeder with a bible. Being good enough to pay taxes but not good enough to exchange vows of love and commitment to eachother is yet another example of the hatred and hypocrisy of organized religion.Woody said:What is the point of a gay marriage in your opinion? Why isn't a civil union good enough? Why even marry at all? A lot of people don't get married and they can have all the sex they want with anybody they want. So what's the point of a gay marriage?
We can do w/o fundie xians just fine thank you. You honestly believe the human race would vanish if the babdists were extinct?!Woody said:Somebody has to continue the human race don't they? You did not answer the previous post.

Snakelord said:Being that my wife is currently pregnant and we went for a scan yesterday, it would undoubtedly appeal to my emotion - and that's what it aims for - but an almost ancient video showing the way abortion is carried out is not an argument for the case of whether a woman has the right to abort.
I've watched it, the argument isn't over. Indeed the 'movie' just appeals to emotion without debating the actual issue - a womans rights etc.
You really need to try harder.
Now, the religious like yourself are generally of the standing that abortion should not be allowed at all. I am now, and have previously, asked you to give me a good reason as to why a person cannot 'abort' 100 cell blastocyst, (6 week stage). I still await your response.
Strange, wasn't I just watching a movie of abortions?
The film aims to show what an abortion looks like.
You wanted a rational reason why a fetus should not be aborted, and I gave it to you.
What do you expect them to do with an abortion, make it look glamorous?
It isn't over for you but it would be over for a lot more people if they could see what happens.
So you concluded the fetus wan't really a human.
Did you see it trying to get away from the suction tube, or was that just trick photography?
Where do you draw the line? 11 week old has more cells, that's all. Most women don't even show until they're 4 months pregnant.
Can you find anymore abortion video footage?
It wont be long before you have nobody to talk to - seeings that you only add people that disagree with you on ignore, and everyone disagrees with you. Still, it aint my concern.
Where did I even imply such a thing, and what has something looking glamorous or not got to do with whether a woman has a right to choose?
"At 5 weeks this "unborn child" is a bunch of 100 cells. It's not at this time "human", (much like an acorn is not an oak tree) - indeed it shares more in common with your appendix, (as I pointed out).
Prod a tadpole, and that will move away too.
Ultimately a woman should have more rights to her body than Woody and his fundie congregation.
Scott Lee Peterson (born 24 October 1972 in San Diego, California) is a former agriculture chemical salesman convicted of the murder of his pregnant wife, Laci Peterson and their unborn child, which in California is treated as murder if the other requisite elements of murder are met.
OK you agree on my point. It's not an issue of the humanity of the unborn. Even if they are human the woman has a right to choose whether or not they can live.
My wife was pro-choice until she lost her first "blastocyst" at 6 weeks. Believe me, it wouldn't help her much if I told her it was only a blastocyst or an unwanted appendix. It may not look like much but it feels like a whole lot.
Besides, as I said before, I wouldn't even know where to begin on drawing the line. When do you decide it's human, the day it's born?
Do you suppose a tadpole can feel pain?
What do you suppose it feels like when a fetus gets ripped apart?
How about suctioning out the brain in a partial-birth abortion?
Yeah, it's one less heathen in the world when the woman exercises her right. One less atheist too.
It's kind of an Old Testament view of things, like when people sacrificed their children -- let them do it -- they'll die off soon enough, he says. The God of the OT says something to that effect too.
It's a strange world isn't it? Nobody will know for sure if a woman really wants her unborn baby when she is murdered, but its life counts anyway.
Not much of a christian then heh. I thought you guys were all about tolerance, loving thy neighbour and what not? I guess it's different where you're from. To date all I've pretty much seen you do is promote intolerance all over this forum, (including this very thread).
Hmm. There I was thinking christians followed the god of the NT. You know, that jesus bloke that promoted love and tolerance?
Well, the woman was 8 months pregnant - and had decided that the childs name was going to be Connor - so there is absolutely no dispute over whether the woman wanted the child or not.
Basically if a fetus could survive if born, (with medical care of course). It's also true that medical care is progressing and so eventually, they might be able to save 6 week blastocysts.
I'm sorry your longheld high opinion of christians is suddenly in doubt.
Anyway, it's all about a woman's choice as you say -- you know the right to the control of her own body, which she lost control of when she got pregnant.
There wasn't any love involved to start with, if there was she'd want the baby, wouldn't she?
and modern age women pass their children alive through a suction hose so they can have more sexual pleasure.
From a legal point of view that wasn't the reason for the conviction. She could have been 3 months pregnant and it would be the same. Or she could have an attempt on her life, in which the fetus is killed, and there would be a murder charge.
Yeh, like test-tube babies.
