What you are trying to do is legitimize your religious views as science. Worship as you please, just don't try to pass it off as scientifically correct. A fetus is not a person, we both know that. You attempting to give personhood status to a fetus is simply your way of rationalizing the control you wish to exert over women. Connivant indeed..... | |||

A fetus is not a person? If not then it surely isn’t anything else either. Go kill it. We’re all hunters. We’ve all shot varmints, coyotes, ground hogs and such and don’t think a thing about it. Go kill it. | |||

If you do not know that a fetus is not a person then you are willfully ignorant. I do not believe that to be the case. I believe your religious and political views suppress your ability to judge this issue in a scientific manner. A stage of prenatal development does not make a person. That is the science, your religious views do not change the science. | |||

Not a person, but has the potential to become one. There is a big difference. I firmly believe it is up to the woman in question to decide how to proceed once pregnant, not you and not me. | |||

Sure that’s right. A fetus is nothing. Undoubtedly we could all just toss one out in the yard for the dogs to chew on. Nothin to it. | |||

Far more complicated than that. Not everyone wants to be a parent or is in a position to do so. I see no better option than leaving the choice to the woman. The only thing I find less appealing than abortion is a neglectful or abusive parent. | |||

Not every pregnancy is safe nor do to the decision of the woman. Old men and legislatures are not best positioned to decide. Again, late term abortions were already banned under Plan Parenthood v Case if the state wishes, plus a lot of other restrictions. Dobbs is saving no children in California. | |||

a human fetus is a living,growing human- person is a legal term not a science term- we have legally even considered corporations “persons” killing a human vs killing a “person” that is a human - hmm again the slippery semantic slope- are humans suffering severe dementia no longer “persons” only mere “humans”? take their right to live as well? afterall they are no longer able to care for themselves then the diasbled then then as previously stated, the world has seen this mindset and behavior before DuggaBoye-O NRA-Life Whittington-Life TSRA-Life DRSS DSC HSC SCI | |||

Steve, you may want to get one of the fine attorneys here to explain the Federal Unborn Victims of Violence Act which defines a "child in utero" as "a member of the species Homo sapiens, at any stage of development, who is carried in the womb." Federal Law says it’s a person. | |||

Here's one for you bible thumpers to chew on: woman who had to carry a child she knew was going to die to term because she couldn't get an abortion in Florida. Baby was born without kidneys.

I, the scientist, do not see the science saying that. I do not believe that. I have many friends who are MDs and clinical scientists who see it as I. I am not certain that a majority of MDs if polled do not see the science as I. Not trying to convince you. I see your mind is closed. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J.

Be intellectually honest and quote the full sentence and rest of the paragraph: "Florida law allows abortions after 15 weeks if two doctors confirm the diagnosis of a fatal fetal abnormality in writing, but doctors in Florida and states with similar laws have been hesitant to terminate such pregnancies for fear someone will question whether the abnormality was truly fatal. The penalties for violating the law are severe: Doctors can go to prison and face heavy fines and legal fees." Mike | |||

The part I quoted is fact. The last part is BS and speculative. Drs. make decisions daily, some multiple times daily that are life and death and sign off on it. Not a day goes by that Drs. don’t make decisions that will questioned by “somebody.” Sounds like to the law had a good solution in place. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J.

But I guess you chose to ignore the other inconvenient facts in the article . . . or more likely only read the article to the point you found convenient. That she and her husband sought their obstetrician's certification and she refused. I am sure the couple is comforted by the fact that folks like you decided to take the decision out of their hands and put it in the government's hands. How very libertarian of you . . . Mike | |||

. . . and as you point out, the Texas law is even more ridiculous. The only exception is if the pregnant person’s life is at risk or if the pregnancy poses a serious risk of substantial impairment of a major bodily function. The couple would have no recourse under Texas law. This is what happens when a bunch of kooks get together that try to see how they can try to show others that they are in some perverse way more morally upright than others. And then they want to talk about virtue signaling with masking requirements. Seriously these people are so stupid they are like the Oozlum bird that flies in ever decreasing concentric circles until it ultimately flies up its own ass. Mike | |||

. . . I guess the irony is lost on you that the decision was given to someone other than the patient. Please spare us your rantings about being libertarian in the future. Also, what do you think the likelihood is of getting a two doctors to say yes, once one doctor says no given the liability and criminal penalties? Mike | |||

So Mike, in your mind, shooting a person should be up to the shooter if you are libertarian? That’s the direct extension of your logic.

Face it, the argument about abortion is purely a legal one. No one can say that a fetus is not a human, or a life. Is it a person? I would say yes, as a dead person is still considered a person from a general sense. What we are debating is who and when can kill them under the law. The law is by its nature imperfect. It is the practical grounds under which we force compliance from individuals in society. Render unto Caesar what is Caesar’s. This is a legal decision, and in a representative democracy, the people as a whole decide what the rules will be. It seems like there are two substantial minorities who do not agree with the rules, and the middle group sees it as a blend, but has issues with both extremes. Classically this is in the US, where we agreed to let individuals decide, but the busybodies can’t leave it at that, whether it’s guns, abortions, booze, or whatever. | |||
