Well, going off of the thread title. "Killing a fetus OK....Killing a lion Not OK...Graphic Pics "

You are correct. There are many, many, orders of fucking magnitude, more worthless people than there are lions.

Fetus, child, or grown adult; I'd rather see tens if not hundreds of thousands of them get popped instead of a near endangered species get killed.

A couple things for the "not a person" crowd to ignore...

On the person-hood debate a few pages back where the "vegetable on life-support" argument was used.  It is useful (for me) to consider first what would happen without our input.  I don't necessarily think that life support is immoral, but my wife and I are both against it for ourselves.  Without our input, 100% of pregnancies would (still) result in a human with its own DNA emerging from the woman's body in some state.

To address BES directly, I'm not sure why you believe that you get to choose whether or not the 2nd heart inside your body keeps beating.  Your post(s) lead me to believe that you think that up until the final moment that the baby leaves the mother, its still "trespassing" and is subject to the whims of the mother.  I was born about 3 weeks over-due, should my mom have been able at week 2 to decide "man this is taking forever, just kill it and get it over with"?  I have strong feelings about individual rights just like you do.  But I do believe that the government should take all steps necessary to protect the individual rights of those unable to do so for themselves.  The right of a mother to violate and steamroll the most important right of another individual (TO EXIST) is a false right.

You tripled down on stupid and morally questionable posts about your desire for culling the world, defended it heatedly multiple times, and explaining your position quite clearly. That others didn't take what you wrote as hyperbole doesn't mean they're stupid, it means you just were that convincing as you are a lunatic and an ass.

Because your rights end where the rights of another begin?

Quoted:What's next? Compromise on the right to own guns? You allow me to own them if I promise to register them with the state?

I don't think so. Rights are rights.


The problem with that analogy is that a person does not die every time you own, possess, carry, use, etc, a firearm nor does anyone die should you own such property with out registering it with the state.

Every abortion that succeeds ends the life of a developing human being.

Amendment V

No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.


That person growing in a woman's belly, a person most likely put there via the conscious actions of the women herself, has a right to life.

Your "hyperbole" was so good I was sure you were a psychotic blowhard. Your defensive responses since convinced me you're definitely a blowhard and also confused about how hyperbole works, as its supposed to be obvious, which your posts certainly weren't.

You defended then with explanations that people calling you out never traveled overseas, that you have an issue with third worlders, and that you think idiocracy is going to happen. Your acting was so good in still pretty sure you're a horse's ass.

Quoted:
doesn't matter


It doesn’t matter in the slightest?  

So there is no functional difference between one of your non-functioning vestigial organs and a growing human being in the womb?

If the difference does not matter and they are effectively the same then why undertake ANY actions to remove the fetus?

Surely you are not planning on a surgical procedure to remove your appendix (assuming you still have one; if you lack an appendix substitute the word Coccyx in its place)?  I mean you don’t really need it and you don’t really use it and should it burst it could kill you.

The only other reason I can see to wanting to remove the fetus, apart from just not wanting it in your body (i.e. the non ruptured / inflamed appendix example), is the idea that the fetus, which is genetically human, will most likely grow into a more developed human being and then exit the body and then continue its development for the next 60 - 80 years.



Quoted:

and if they don't?


You call the local law enforcement or you take them to court and have them removed.   Circumstances arise where they may die rather than leave but that is an event reserved for the most extreme of circumstances and is certainly one not of your choice.

By law YOU the landlady exercise restraint and, in effect, allow your property rights to be temporarily trampled so the government may act to use their forces to forcibly remove the problem tenant.

Quoted:

it's not a baby, it doesn't even have an opinion on it. You can't attribute complex existential thoughts to a fetus.


True but then again I cannot necessarily attribute complex existential thoughts to young children under a certain age now can I?

Logically, your position applies as much to a new born child fresh out of the birth canal as it does a fetus.

Or have I missed something?


Quoted:

Furthermore, it would be ok to evict squatters at gun point if they refused to go.


That depends entirely upon the jurisdiction in which you live.   That would NOT be legal where I live.

Of course you may be able to do so lawfully where you live but you CANNOT make such a request of the developing child in the womb with an expectation that child will live.



Quoted:

Let me ask you this. Who has a right to tell the owner of the temple what to do with an embryo that lives in the temple? The state?



Yes.  The state may place certain restrictions upon rights in order to protect YOUR rights and MY rights and the rights of the UNBORN.

For example you have the right to keep and bear arms but not the right to walk to the local grocery store and shoot a person in the face for no reason at all.    

You may have the right to take a life with your constitutionally protected right to keep and bear arms should circumstances warrant an occasion but not for any and every reason under the sun.

For the record if I had my way I would repeal all of 18 USC 921, 922, all of  18 USC Chapter 39 as well as the entirety of 26 USC.

I can't? You let me swallow it your ring, you can't cut me open to retrieve it. You can't even keep me from moving to china. I think you lost your ring unless I choose to return it to you or poop it out or you can make a case to a judge that my upcoming stomach surgery is the perfect time to return it to you.



I agree completely however the flip side is you CANNOT just decide to cut open your stomach to remove my ring knowing that action will be destroying the ring in the process without my permission.

Surely you may elect to cut open your stomach as you please (it is your stomach) but the ring is still mine.   Destruction of my property could be a criminal offense or actionable tort.

Quoted:

As the caretaker of the fetus, I can kill it in order to terminate my pregnancy. I don't have to care for it it's whole life, I can give it up any time.


You can kill that child but that does not mean you should.

Likewise a struggling person could kill their infant child (much as the boyfriend of a woman did by placing the child in a microwave oven and turning it on) for a whole host of reason but that does not mean they should.

Caretaker is defined as:

noun
1.a person who is in charge of the maintenance of a building, estate,etc.; superintendent.
2.a person or group that temporarily performs the duties of an office.
3.British. a janitor.
4.a person who takes care of another.
View Quote


http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/caretaker?s=t

I do not believe a person would be much of a caretaker for that child by killing it.    

However you are of course correct you do not have to care for it your whole life but there are people out there who are desperate to smother than child with love and affection who could and would allow that child to live.

Quoted:
Your conclusion is invalid because a fetus is not a child, a non-viable fetus is not a viable fetus or child and a child in the body is not equivalent to a child outside the body.


So when will the fetus become a child?   Is there some magical transformation that occurs moments before the baby exits the birth canal?   Does this change happen before or after birth?

I do not mean to belabor the point but I ask because that baby is just as much dependent upon its parents and guardians AFTER it is born as it was while it was growing in the womb.

After all we humans are helpless, pathetically cute things when we are born.

A clitoris and fetus are not the same thing.  Yes, a clitoris is a body part of a human. A fetus is a human, some of which have female genitalia.

Abortion and FGM are not the same thing. No, they are not. Abortion is the killing of a fetus .FGM is the removal of parts of someone's genitalia. One is extreme, the end. The other makes enjoying sex difficult.

Your entire argument is based on the misconception that two positions cannot be held independently of the oneanother, and you are trying to express it through an invalid comparison.

To that end, your argument is fundamentally flawed. Nah, I don't think it is. You just don't get that a baby is more important than a clit. After all, someone can life without a clit, but a kid getting aborted is pretty final.



You just demonstrated the invalidity of your own argument.

Basically the exact same way this lion was hunted?

I should have known better. Hyperbole just doesnt mix well in some arfcom threads. If you seriously think I was suggesting genocide, like I already said... You were probably cast in Simple Jack, aka full retard.

Everyone carry on with their talk of abortions and lions and shit.

Billions of third worlders that will never contribute a lick to humanity. Hell, they will actively work to destroy and bring it down. Plenty to chose from to be culled.

That right there expresses that you want to kill a certain demograph of people (Third Worlders) and that constitutes genocide under the UN.  So yes, you actually fucking said that!

The line when you start to give a shit about the nascent human being's rights is arbitrary.


fertilization

first breath
brain activity

are just some of the various positions I've heard as to when that nascent human being should have a right to life.


everyone seems to have a different opinion from a moral standpoint.

Legally, its pretty simple.   Until he/she is born,  the mother has a right to terminate the pregnancy.  


I don't agree with abortion, but I'm also against the government interfering in a medical decision that should be between a woman, the prospective father, her doctor, and possibly her priest.


We've had this discussion on arfcom ad nauseum.   Whenever it pops up again, there is always some newbie who thinks he has a new perspective no one else has ever thought of and that everyone else isn't as educated on the subject as he is.  Congratulations 13er, this time you're that guy.   Congrats.

Here's another scenario.  It took several embryos to create the wonderful six year old daughter I have sitting next to me now thru IVF.  The remaining ones were frozen for years before we decided on what we should do with them.  Since they were frozen, are the "persons"?  They could theoretically be kept frozen indefinitely.

  and if you decide to destroy those embryos (after you decide you don't want any more children) a lot of arfcom will think you're a murderer.

Welcome to GD.


A fertilized egg frozen (called a morula, typically frozen 4 days after fertilization occurs) is not the same as a gestating fetus, growing and forming into a human, living in a women's womb. Not even close. Morula or Blastocyst =/=fetus (which for a human doesn't even classify until 8 weeks after conception).

Crack a biology textbook open or read this.

A couple things for the "not a person" crowd to ignore...



On the person-hood debate a few pages back where the "vegetable on life-support" argument was used. It is useful (for me) to consider first what would happen without our input. I don't necessarily think that life support is immoral, but my wife and I are both against it for ourselves. Without our input, 100% of pregnancies would (still) result in a human with its own DNA emerging from the woman's body in some state.



To address BES directly, I'm not sure why you believe that you get to choose whether or not the 2nd heart inside your body keeps beating. Your post(s) lead me to believe that you think that up until the final moment that the baby leaves the mother, its still "trespassing" and is subject to the whims of the mother. I was born about 3 weeks over-due, should my mom have been able at week 2 to decide "man this is taking forever, just kill it and get it over with"? I have strong feelings about individual rights just like you do. But I do believe that the government should take all steps necessary to protect the individual rights of those unable to do so for themselves. The right of a mother to violate and steamroll the most important right of another individual (TO EXIST) is a false right.

That's all fine and dandy, but it's still not any of MY business or MY problem. It's legal.  It most likely won't be changed.  There are far more pressing problems facing our country and OUR individual liberties.

Some choices should be illegal.  If your neighbor chooses to kill you, it should be illegal for them to carry out that choice.

Because your rights end where the rights of another begin?



The problem with that analogy is that a person does not die every time you own, possess, carry, use, etc, a firearm nor does anyone die should you own such property with out registering it with the state.

Every abortion that succeeds ends the life of a developing human being.



That person growing in a woman's belly, a person most likely put there via the conscious actions of the women herself, has a right to life.

Fixed it for you to add the context that should make the reason many of us argue over this procedure we "can't have done [on ourselves]" abundantly clear.

Some of us value life and especially the life of the innocent.

"Anti-choice?"  Isn't that quaint.

A person can choose to kill another person without just cause and for any reason under the sun.   I do not support that choice and if I may be presumptive, I would guess you would not support that choice either.

I believe a person ought to be able to decide to do or not to do anything they desire so long as those choices do not infringe upon the rights of others.

You want to wear white after Labor Day?  Fine by me.
You want to own and use hand grenades?   Let me know in advance and I'll bring BBQ.
You want to cut pieces of your own body off because you suddenly have the urge to do so?  Your body, your rules.

You want to deprive another human being of their life, liberty, or property?   No deal.  

I am NOT ANTI-CHOICE per se; I am pro choices that don't end the lives of innocent children.

What I find outrageous is the same faggots who got into office through promises of defunding the ACA and securing our fucking borders are now making defunding planned parenthood their number one priority before recess.

How about a fucking budget?  How about curbing regulatory agencies fucking power to make laws without the consent of the Congress?  How about unfucking the NSA?  What the fuck about the very real threat of ISIS?


Fuck the RINOs and their pandering to the religious right, especially when they're ignoring everything thatis truly destroying this nation.

Cecil can't protect his pride, now that he's gone. Which means more lions - endangered animals - will die. It's not just about Cecil. Way to be a baby about this.

You do not appear to understand how our government works.

Republicans need a veto over ride in both the HoR and the US Senate to defund the PPACA (they have voted to repeal it and defund it DOZENS of times), to alter or abolish the NSA, or any of the other things on your list.

Feel free to show us the votes in both houses.   Remember, there aren't enough Republicans to over ride a Veto without Democrat support.

To their credit, Republicans have been successful in cutting the budgets of some major players.   I.e. the IRS has had their budget reduced at least twice and they may get further reductions.

Add to this mix that not all Republicans are the good guys and I am amazed the Republicans have been able to do what they have done given what they have to work with.
