[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t get why republicans are so anti abortion when ending it just makes the country less white on a proportional basis [/quote]

I don't know, maybe because that is the pinnacle of evil: "Let's kill millions of babies so that our race will have proportionately more people."[/quote]
I am one of the many women who has had a miscarriage. It was an incredibly sad experience. But it was not a death - there was no funeral and no death certificate. Anybody who equates an abortion and killing a baby is not arguing in good faith.[/quote]

Completely disagree, and I could just as easily say that anyone who doesn't believe abortion is "killing" a human being is not arguing in bad faith.

I honestly have never understood that argument.  If you want to say, sure, it is a human being being killed, but I believe other interests, etc. outweigh it.  But to argue that it literally is not killing a human being is simply anti-science and bad faith. It is, by definition, a human being, just in the early stages of life.  If you are arguing that it is not killing a baby, then what is it?  Are you saying it magically becomes a human being for "value" purposes once it just happens to exit the woman, which would mean five seconds earlier it had no value?  If someone kills a baby inside a woman by punching the woman's stomach, would you say that it was not murder or even not a crime as to the baby?  And if you say abortion should not be legal after a certain point, why?  Why is abortion "killing a baby" at 30 weeks, but not at 10 weeks?[/quote]
I would go further: if you say it's ok to abort due to rape or incest why not due to other reasons? Would the fetus care what the reason is?  So, you would force a 12 yr old to birth her rapist's baby?

Even so, at 10 weeks, the "baby" is not really formed and cannot survive outside the womb. At 20 weeks with modern medicine, it's now possible for that baby to survive.[/quote]
