U.S. Supreme Court set to overturn Roe v. Wade abortion rights decision

When people record television broadcasts, they still say, "I taped the game last night," but that doesn't mean they're still using VHS. People regularly use layman's terms to express themselves, even if what they're saying is not technically accurate. If you want your arguments to be taken seriously, it's a good idea to use the correct terminology, because refusing to do so after being corrected multiple times just shows that you're not being intellectually serious about making your case.

No, starting to use the terminology that baby killers use to justify murder is something I'm never going to do. Killing babies is wrong. I don't give two fucks if I'm not taken seriously by them. I'll probably just end up putting every single abortion supporter on ignore because I don't need to associate with evil people.

Do you believe a single-celled zygote is a baby? Just curious.

Why have you spent so much time posting in this thread if you think people who support abortion rights are evil? If that were true, you would have made one post about how abortion is wrong and then never opened the thread again, because you can't reason with evil people. The fact that you've made so many posts suggests that you don't truly believe such a thing.

Because it's not about persuasion, it's about control. A lot of what I've seen and experienced personally has revolved around limiting women, their bodies, their rights, with no care to the "baby" whatsoever. It's one thing to try and understand the opposite point of view, but people like this one don't even try. They just care about having control and don't care to educate enough to compromise.

It was a rhetorical question.

Once the egg is fertilized it has its own unique DNA and has started to form a human. Seeings that a zygote is a fertilized egg with its own DNA then yes, I consider it to be a baby.

I like to share my opinion as much as anyone else does. I haven't swayed from my opinion that I started with nor will I regardless of how many attempts like this are made to persuade me. If most of society calls a developing human in the mothers womb a baby I'm not going to start calling it otherwise to appease baby killers.

It doesn't even have a brain, let alone any other organs for that matter, but thank you for clearing things up. We know now your opposition to abortion is based on some religious beliefs that shouldn't be forced on others.

That became apparent when he tried using that Christian anti abortion site.

Oh I know lol. At this point I'm waiting to see if HeWhoPlacedMeUponHisIgnoreList notices lol

Baseless assumptions are also a useless tactic.

 

[AleronIves]

Religious beliefs are not a requirement for believing that human life must be protected at all developmental stages.

Are you telling me I'm wrong?

In all fairness, he didn’t mention any religious beliefs at all. You did.

When someone says something becomes a baby at conception, and provides an unsatisfactory reason as to why, it's a reasonable conclusion to make. We all know what these anti-choice people believe and why. I'm not delusional.

A step backwards and a dark time in human history.
I don't think that it's the future anymore.
We are moving away from cooperation and towards war and suffering again.
imho we have a short window of opportunity to move forward.
This is it... now is the time.

It’s a conclusion based on no evidence - he didn’t give you any indication that his objection is religious in nature. Quite the opposite, he gave you a specific scientific reason for why he believes what he believes, however odd that reason might be. Delusional or not, you’re just guessing.

Mind reading is a risky business. It's much more reliable to ask people why they believe something, rather than to assume you know their beliefs and motivations better than they do.

I asked.

Can't read what isn't there.

Mercurial in nature these anti-choice people are.
Wait until they come for your "rights" next.
I've seen it and I am not waiting.

In fairness, I asked him to tell me himself if I was mistaken.

I always welcome a challenge. I hope they come in a pretty big boat, I’m a 2A guy. While my right to own means of self-defense as guaranteed by the Bill of Rights of 1689 was infringed upon in the UK (which is regrettable and should be corrected), I have other means to defend my rights, some more creative than others.

In fairness, I asked him to tell me himself if I was mistaken.

Making assumptions is still an odd way to make a point. He gave you an answer. If you want to argue with him, argue against that answer. You started off with doing that, then veered into the bushes.
