Undead Cheese
Member!
The last thread was closed because of an excessive desire in people to repeat some of their arguments that had already been refuted and/or otherwise addressed. In order to prevent that this time around, though, I will ask that people ignore anyone that posts arguments that have already been addressed and report their posts for deletion. This is a new thread, though, so it will start with a clean slate (within reason)! I'll begin this thread by addressing some of the points lizardbreath left us off with (though now voided).
embryo -> fetus -> infant -> child -> adolescent -> adult
At what point do you see "leg" or "ear" in this process? If you do, see a doctor. If you don't, then you're altering my argument and then attacking the altered form, but not the original argument itself. This is a logical fallacy.
1. Adoption isn't a possibility
2. The government forced the woman to have sex
Since neither of these are true, I don't see where you are coming from.
REMEMBER: This is a new thread, so it will start with a clean slate, but any arguments that are repeated within this thread will be ignored and reported accordingly.
It is impossible to know the exact moment of conception; however, it is possible to record the exact moment of birth, so it is a more accurate moment in time to base the "age" of something. This doesn't address the point that I had originally made, though.lizardbreath said:-Alright then I have a question for you then. If you state that the constitution forbids discrimination based on age or physical characteristics. Then allow me to officially own this thing Undead cheese wrote. When a baby is born it is stated on the birth certificate that it was born on Such & such date and Such & such time. From then on all people consider that baby to day 1+ however many days/weeks/months old. This method of telling age has been used since the dawn of time. So People officially recognize a baby's age once it comes out of the women. We don't just site there and tack on the extra 9 months that the fetus was in the women developing do we?
Just because you don't understand my argument doesn't make it silly. I've clearly stated that a fetus is a human because it is both genetically human and a part of the human life cycle.lizardbreath said:- Really? Do you consider a leg in a women a human? or how about an ear? Is that a full human? No. That is the silliest argument yet.

I see that you're implying two things here.lizardbreath said:- If a mother doesn't want the child or does not feel that she will be able to take care of it properly she should be able to terminate the pregnancy. In the constitution it states that everybody should be given the opprottunity to pursue life/liberty/ happiness. If the government forces a women to have a child; and because this child is born she is forced into poverty because the person she had the baby with decided not to stick around. What then? You have just deprived the women of the liberty to choose her own happiness.

I didn't say anything about the parents' choice. I said would it be Bob's right to terminate Steve's life solely for his comfort?lizardbreath said:-This is a special case scenario from which I do not know which choice I would make if I was the mother. Grant it they both have brains and the ability to think; but one cannot clearly live on it's own due to the fact that it doesn't have a liver. I believe this is the parents choice, not the courts.
But nothing that I said was incorrect.lizardbreath said:To Tipsy: Everything Undead Cheese wrote is not fact; just because he presents an argument that is opposite of what we writed doesn't mean that it is 100% full proof. Though you may agree with him on this issue; that doesn't mean that others cannot come in here and give their own 2 cents on the issue.
A mother gives birth, in the privacy of her own home, and kills the baby. Are you saying this should be legal? (the only thing that is different in this scenario from abortion is the age of the human in question)lizardbreath said:-The United States particularly mentioned that everybody has a right to privacy within thier own homes and with their own bodies. Setting a law against abortion would break down the privacy that a women is entitled too.
Or to the states.lizardbreath said:-Since the United States did not grant the governments right to decided whether or not a women should have an abortion. I believe we should leave this right to the people which is stated clearly in ammendment 10.
Let's assume you're right for a moment. By your argument, a fetus is not a citizen of the United States. Congratulations! You've just helped your argument by ... uhh ... wait, you haven't. Does this mean it's open season on the border? Do you seriously mean to tell me that I can pull out my lawn chair and a shotgun and kill illegal immigrants?lizardbreath said:- In the beggining of this ammendment it clearly states that all persons being >>>>BORN<<<< or naturalized in the United states are entitled to life, liberty, or property. Not the Un-Born.
Definition of born:Brought into life by birth.
Obviously you don't know anything about the case, because Tipsy was actually quoting the majority opinion of Roe v. Wade, and now you're sitting here saying he's never heard of the case? Maybe you haven't.lizardbreath said:Obviously Tipsy missed the fine supreme court case known as Roe V Wade where the supreme court agreed with you ONEELITEMOFO. Tipsy seems to think that case never exsisted or something.
