I'm just not interested in anything you have to say. Buh-bye...

abortion isn't murder technically.. the heart doesn't start beating until about six weeks or so

chellekitty -> RE: Abortion (10/8/2007 5:45:48 PM)
lets see if i can spell this out... i don't give a flying fuck what his argument is...and perhaps i used the wrong word...i mean't moral when i said religious...they are at times interchangable, in this case, they are not.... my problem was with your tactics....imparticular this sentence... quote: Whilst everyone is entitled to their opinions there is a way to put those opinions across that does not require denigrating others opinions or making personal attacks. because both the sentence preceeding it, and the one following it denigrate the opinion of one particular other (CL) and make a personal attack (on CL) not that he really needs me to back him up, he's got big boy under-roos....

quote: ORIGINAL: LadyLynx I mean people don't want to believe this, but women could end up losing most if not all that we have strove for. Do you really think making the killing of unborn children a central element of the women's rights movement is a good move in terms of avoiding the potential for a backlash? Just wondering... Health, al-Aswad.

Then don't ask for tolerance - you must be prepared to take as well as you give. And so must CuriousLord. I guess you are here merely to contradict yourself. It is duly noted.

Aswad -> RE: Abortion (10/8/2007 6:16:46 PM)
quote: ORIGINAL: susie I find it inflammatory when a woman who has made a decision (and not an easy one) to abort a fetus that she has been told will not survive to term is called a murderer. Some forms of euthanasia, like this one, are not murder, clearly. I'm just saying that some people mistakenly think "murder" and "kill" are interchangeable. They're not, of course. The former is the crime of killing. The latter is just killing. But we're not very touchy on other words being misused around here. quote: You may think it is killing but to call a woman who has had to abort a wanted baby a murderer is inflammatory which ever way you look at it. I'm not "thinking" anything... it's killing... specifically euthanasia. Which is pretty much all good in my book, under such circumstances. I'm just saying that the inflammatory aspect is misusing the word "murder." And that could easily have been attributed to a wrong choice of words, really. Not that I'm agreeing with CL on the abortion issue. Health, al-Aswad.

You honestly don't get why someone got "hung up" on being called a murderer and an inhuman monster?

DesireDeeva -> RE: Abortion (10/8/2007 7:21:04 PM)
julietsierra, I applaude you for being so open w/us. I'm not on either side because I don't "have" to be, if I were raped and ended up being pregnant and had an abortion, would you call me a murderer? what if I didn't get raped and became pregnant yet had an abortion? do I not have any say so as to whether or not I wanted to have the child??? I've never had an abortion but it would be "my"choice if I chose to do so for whatever reason. Murder you say? ok....but that doesn't stop some women from using abortion as a form of birth-control, it didn't stop some women from using hangers to terminate a pregnancy, should abortion be outlawed??? good question...but I doubt if it would ever happen... and what about the women who have the child or children and then kill them? should these women have had an abortion instead of having the child or children???? *Is there really a "right " or "wrong" regarding this subject? it's a matter of "choice" in my opinion. now back to CSI Miami* good thread btw.**

Maybe that'll clarify. Seriously. You're getting the wrong idea here. And I never meant for this to go on for ages. Health, al-Aswad.

Haven't I seen you make judgements in other topics, based upon your own morals? Everyone is entitled to an opinion. Orion quote: ORIGINAL: SugarMyChurro Better that moralizing, judgmental assholes mind their own business.

quote: ORIGINAL: BitaTruble ~FR~ CALIFORNIA PENAL CODE SECTION 187-199 187. Murder is the unlawful killing of a human being, or a fetus, with malice aforethought. This section shall not apply to any person who commits an act that results in the death of a fetus if any of the following apply: The act complied with the Therapeutic Abortion Act, Article 2 (commencing with Section 123400) of Chapter 2 of Part 2 of Division 106 of the Health and Safety Code. The act was committed by a holder of a physician's and surgeon's certificate, as defined in the Business and Professions Code, in a case where, to a medical certainty, the result of childbirth would be death of the mother of the fetus or where her death from childbirth, although not medically certain, would be substantially certain or more likely than not. The act was solicited, aided, abetted, or consented to by the mother of the fetus. Subdivision (b) shall not be construed to prohibit the prosecution of any person under any other provision of law.1 Looking again at Celeste's excerpt from the California Penal Code, I'm struck that it distinguishes between a "human being" and a "fetus." I wonder if other states do so as well. It's also interesting that, as Level and I calmly discussed earlier, the law specificies that the act is done "with malice."
