No, its not as simple as that. This is what you need to understand. We live in a real world, with real problems, and we cant stand for all this symbolism in a matter like this. At some point, late in the pregnancy, the foetus has the ability to be born and survive and develop into a fully functional human being. Before this point, it is not a human being. Early in the pregnancy, it is simply a mass of flesh and blood with potential, and its brain is barely functioning.
Sometimes people masturbate, and their sperm goes to waste. If you believe a foetus of 2 days is much better than a sperm, then your ideology is taking over your sense of realism.
Those SPERM that never turned into a child will never have the opportuinity to play TBall or go to Dance class or get on the bus for their first day of school.
Those SPERM that never turned into a child will never get to have a birthday party or see Barney videos and never learn their ABC's.
Those SPERM that never turn into a child will never get the opportunity to vote or take a first job or go to the Prom.
Those SPERM that never turn into a child will never get to date and never get to experience a first kiss.
Those SPERM that never turn into a child will never get a chance to make up their mind on issues or to read Das Kapital or Common Sense or Ayn Rand.
You believe it is OK to deny your sperm the right to live.
You believe it is OK to make a life or death decision for your sperm.
You either believe the most innocent of our society (the unborn) have natural rights or you believe they don't.[/QUOTE]
You believe the innocent sperm of our society don't have natural rights.
What are these natural rights you speak of?
Well whoop de doo, lets give the foetus the vote. Sorry, your actual point was?
It is the height of hypocricy to me that Libs demand rights for every pervert and deviant but deny the most basic of rights to the most innocent. And somehow, Libs say they are the compassionate and caring ones.
Yeah, right.[/QUOTE]
People call me a liberal, but I'm not. I just want the most caring thing done, in a way that is actually going to work in society. Abortions are going to happen, end of story, and if they are illegal, they are just going to be more dangerous. Is that a good thing, just for the sake of a bit of symbolism about life and death? Lets Get Real!!!!
Abortion after about 5 months should be illegal I think, because its around this time that the lump of cells because something more. Living.
