I'm done with discussing the abortion issue. It is very depressing to see so many cold hearted people saying so many cold hearted things.

I'll talk to you guys again on the next issue.

You can discuss any issue you want but it still gets back to the religious folk pushing OPINION on to others that might not share their OPINION. If there were facts, perhaps something can be worked out.

I certainly am glad that you didn't tell me that you had the facts and all I had was opinion.

BTW, although I present my opinion, I do not try to PUSH it on anyone.

I'll see ya' on the next one.

I can make facts up all day long if you want.

PLEASE don't do that. I don't consider you to be a liberal.

I point out your completely irrational statement and I get called irrational and fanatical?

Really!?

No, once again you are wrong.

Pelagius believed that:
-man requires no divine aid to perform good works
-man is able to fulfill the requirements of the Law perfectly and unaided
-man is not bound/effected by original sin
-man has a free will and is able to choose good or evil in his natural state

That is a far cry from what CLK was promoting. I'd bet money that CLK believed in Total Depravity as well as Original sin and was talking about man having the ability to choose AFTER being enabled by God.

Now unless you were on a discussion board and in a certain thread talking about the legal/moral issues of spontaneous abortion (which this isn't), you are just conflating the issue.

Stop it with the nonsense Kerry, your antics are getting old.

And btw, spontaneous abortions (miscarriages) are a perversion, a reaction. They are the result of something going WRONG in a pregnancy. They cannot exist apart from a pregnancy and are only the failure, calling off, or "canceling" of a pregnancy. They are as natural as blocked sinuses. But clear sinuses are what the natural idea is.

No it is you that is confusing the issue. Regardless of how the fetus aborts, unless it is really alive, it is little more than a blob of cells that you gave some identity to.

Sorry, I haven't given you identity. Therefore you aren't a human.

And no, the issue is COMPLETELY different. One is a non-essential, uncessary, artificial and dangerous action by someone and the other is the body's own reaction to a problem. If you can't see the difference then I have a bridge I'd like to sell you.

I've read that and seen that. What I haven't seen yet is the fetus going thru the SAME tests that the doctor uses when he/she declares death. If it is good enough for you and me, why not the fetus? Unless you are trying to use the test that is convenient to make your answer come out, aka stacking the deck.

Sharing some features that we have it not the same as being the same. Just like me going thru some medical classes doesn't allow me to call myself Doctor XYZ.

It's very simple. If you want to call it a human being and thus accord it the rights you and I have, why you don't use the same medical tests to declare death to prove it is alive is mystifying. That test is the standard test that you and I and every other human gets to go thru so why not this fetus that you claim is human?

Either way, the fetus is gone. I am not a big worshiper of nature don't simply say that if that was how I came, that is how I must remain.

This is a logical fallacy. Any test for death is not inversely valid to determine life.

Secondly, you are talking about medical death. Both of use would probably agree that a patient being kept on life support with no brain activity would not be "alive". So why the double standard when it comes to fetuses?

Quote:

Oversimplification.

One man died because someone else stabbed him in the heart during an argument. The second man died because he had a heart attack as the result of poor eating and exercise habits.

They both died right? So it's not important..... right?

I'm not sure, but it sounds as if you just knocked down a straw man. I cannot begin to understand what you were trying to communicate.
