I've often wondered with them which came first? Is the fact that they are so dumb is what makes them Liberals? Or is being Liberal what makes them so damn dumb? o_O

if it had been you I wouldn't have dropped it.....I would have smashed it against the wall and then pissed on it

Personally Snow Sled Baby, I wonder how many of the pro choice Left's own Mothers would "choose" to abort them today if given that option?

Imagine if @Keyser76 's Mom, or @countryroads89 's Mom knew when they were still in utero how they'd eventually turn out? :scream:

Maybe we could have been "spared" their nonsense on this forum if their Moms only had known back in the day? [smoke]

Not your fault, because the author of that article quoted something with citations but neglected to include what those sources were

Didn't want to leave this part of our discussion just hanging with you @mule_eer

All of my questions in the hypothetical OP were free for you to answer instead of the litany you spouted back to me. But I'm not a Leftist. I don't "avoid" answers to tough questions. Although you didn't answer any one of mine, I'll answer ALL of yours. I'll try to keep it short and to the point for other readers, but we can engage later if you're so inclined and won't "run off" or engage in pejorative name calling once we start mutually respectful discussion of this issue.

Here we go:

Yes, you have massively mischaracterized any reasonable or rational argument pro-choicers have ever made.

I'd ask what "mischaracterization" have I made? Current "pro choice" proponents favor no restrictions on abortions, and many are now arguing for post birth life decisions! Is that not a fact? Supporters of "abortion on demand" insist it's the "woman's right" and only her's to make that Life terminating decision at any time during her pregnancy for any reason! Is that not correct?

Your first few posts were so absurdly illogical they weren't even worth responding to

My questions were illogical, but a tactic used to expose the illogic of "on demand" abortions for circumstantial convenience only. What other viable reasons do pro choice proponents argue to terminate their unwanted pregnancies? To save the life of the Mother? Research I linked to ITT conclusively shows less than 1% of all abortions are done for that reason.

The fact that you think you made some sort of enlightening, logical post showcases just how, frankly, stupid you are.

I used absurdity to expose the absurd. If my suggestion of allowing Mothers to terminate their own offspring by their own hands was "stupid", why is it "smarter" for her to pay someone else to do it often at taxpayer's expense?

What do you think of in vitro fertilization?

I support that "choice" particularly for couples who are unable to naturally conceive. I am Pro Life. The fertilized ovum must STILL be placed inside a uterus in order to fully develop. "in vitro" fertilized ovum are not aborted! Your question is moot for purposes of this discussion.

Should it be banned for Christian couples who are unable to have a baby the "natural" way?

Answered above

What are your thoughts on anchor babies?

Specifically babies born to naturalized citizens on American soil are American citizens. I support that. I do not support illegally crossing our border or violating our established immigration law simply to birth a child on American soil to become a US citizen. The Baby still should not be aborted simply because the mother is an illegal alien, or does the birth of the baby on American soil make the mother suddenly legal.

Should anchor babies be considered U.S. citizens?

answered above

f not, should they still be able to stay in the U.S. if they were born here?

If the mother is a naturalized US citizen, yes. If the mother arrives in the US illegally, NO!

If the mom isn't a U.S. citizen but has a baby in the U.S., should the mother be able to stay in the U.S. with the baby?

answered above

) Pretend Maria Santiago illegally comes across the border in January. She stays in the U.S. until August, at which time, she is deported back to her home country. In October, she gives birth to a baby in her home country. Should the mother and/or baby be considered a U.S. citizen if neither were born in the U.S. and none of the family is a U.S. citizen?

I don't see what this has to do with abortion on demand, however regardless of where the child was conceived, that does not grant automatic US citizenship to the mother. Reverse your scenario. Child is conceived on foreign soil. Mother illegally comes into the US where child is born. Child is born on US soil but Mother is illegal and gets deported. Child remains with mother and as a matter of legal custody assumes Mother's legal place of residence. They key is where is the mother legally residing, not where the child is conceived.

Now, as I said, if you're willing to engage, I have several questions I'd like to ask YOU and would ask for the courtesy of your thoughtfully explained responses.

Do you favor Abortion on demand with no restrictions? If so why? If not, what restrictions do you favor and why?

Is a 20 week old fetus less viable than a 36 week fetus? Is a fully born infant more autonomous than an 8 week old fetus? Please explain your answers?

Is it more humane for a woman with an unwanted pregnancy to kill her own child or pay someone else to do it? Explain your answer.

What else is a developing embryo if it isn't alive and human? Please give examples in your answer.

Is killing a fully born infant murder, even if the mother carried it full term and then decides after birth the pregnancy was "unwanted"? If you don't favor that (most don't btw) then at what point before the baby is born is it OK for her to terminate its life? Please explain your answer.

I'll give you some time to answer these (if you do) then we can carry our discussion further. I'll leave the name calling with you though until you get enough and run off after hurling your last few insults at me OK. [winking]

I've been called stupid, and disparaged by Leftists who've posted in this thread. Yet I can't get any one of you to answer my "stupid" questions. (not even the stupid ones) o_O

Why not?

Stupid questions shouldn't "mute" smarter folks being asked the stupid questions! If the questions are stupid, the smart people should be pointing out what makes them so? My "stupid" questions, admittedly hypothetical, draw silence from those suggesting their "stupidity"! It's one thing to call someone "stupid", quite another to not be able to explain what makes them so? If you ask me that's stupid! [eyeroll]

Example:

Stupid kid asks parent "Why do we have to pay for everything in the store we want, why can't we just take what we want?"

Stupid question correct?

Smarter Parent who knows better simply refuses to explain why the question is "stupid" and lets the kid take whatever they want from the store without paying for it. o_O

So who's more stupid under that scenario, the stupid kid asking the stupid question, or the stupid Parent who remains silent & refuses to explain the kid's stupidity by answering the stupid question?:confused:

@Ignorant Uneducated Deplorables YOU called me or at least my questions about unrestricted abortion on demand "stupid", and I explained in post #50 how is it "stupid" questions draw no responses from allegedly more intelligent people of which I'm assuming you've included yourself?

you have massively mischaracterized any reasonable or rational argument pro-choicers have ever made.

I posed as a hypothetical allowing mothers who have unwanted pregnancies to terminate their unwanted babies on their own. Pro choice advocates even today are insisting on allowing mothers to do just that, with NO RESTRICTIONS. Many of the current Democrat Presidential candidates also back that very same legislation...unrestricted on demand abortions at any time for any reason for anyone.

So my "stupid" question was since pro choice supporters are demanding unrestricted access to on demand convenience abortions, what's wrong with allowing the mothers to kill their own children at any time for any reason? The decision is the mother's alone to make is it not? So why not allow them to actually perform their own killing of their own children, even after birth if they so desire? What's the difference, born or unborn the baby is still dead correct?

Why is that question stupid, but granting them full access to allow their children to be killed by someone else at anytime for any reason NOT stupid?

I of course won't get an answer from you, but then what makes the question so stupid that you refuse to answer it or can't?

I say, just allow Moms to do the honors themselves. Birth their baby, make sure it's "comfortable", then after a few minutes of holding it in your non-loving arms, slit its throat and toss it into the nearest dumpster. Clean, cheap, efficient, and you don't even have a guilty conscience because YOU exercised your power of "choice" over your own body! [thumbsup]

So what's wrong with this if you're all about "pro choice"?

@Ignorant Uneducated Deplorables Why can't you answer this?

I am going to take the time to explain this to you and answer your questions this time, simply because I truly believe that you think you are intelligent and somehow stump people with questions and logic that you think makes sense. But first, we have to expose just how stupid you are.

You posted your first extremely long post in response to me just two hours before you started posting again towards me. In other words, on a Saturday afternoon, you expected me to immediately respond to your absurdly illogical post. Since I didn't immediately respond within two hours, you posted not one, not two, not three, not four, but five more times at me claiming that you somehow stumped me, that I was hiding, etc. Then, to top it off, you ask such an absurd amount of questions that are based on logical fallacies that nobody has any desire to respond due to you simply not having the intelligence to have any type of reasonable discourse. Again, due to me simply not responding to your absurdly long post within two hours, you have posted five more times towards me asking things. Christ, what's wrong with you?

Clearly, you aren't the most stable person on this board. But I will still take the time to answer your questions and explain just how stupid your attempt at logic is in the following posts. I have to do it in multiple posts to make it easier to go through your obsessive posts:

Great, that all I asked you to do. Explain your logic, or my "stupidity". You took the time to call me stupid, now take some time to explain why you're not? [eyeroll]

Abortion is a serious medical procedure. You realize that mothers have died from those procedures, right? Just like people don't perform their own other major medical procedures, mothers don't perform their own abortions. It is a serious health risk.

Exactly! Which is why I proposed actually birthing the babies first! It's still killing an unwanted pregnancy correct? What's the difference if that Baby is dismembered 12 inches inside a mother's birth canal (perfectly legal btw with partial birth abortion) and holding the baby 12 inches outside the uterus and dismembering it? It's still a fully formed Baby is it not? Why is one procedure argued for on the Left, and you're calling the other "infanticide". That's not stupid? Maybe that's why you think I am?

Pro-choicers don't believe something has rights until it is born. I am one of those people. When it is born, it is a human with the same rights we all have. At that point, any type of purposeful killing of that baby is illegal.

A criminal who kills an expectant mother's baby before it's born can be charged with murder. If that Baby has no rights until it is born, explain how this is so? I'm stupid remember? [eyeroll]

Thanks for walking into the trap. You have claimed that you believe conception is the start of a life and therefore any abortion should be illegal. Since that is your belief, in order to stay intellectually honest, you have to also agree that a baby that is conceived on U.S. soil (not born, but simply conceived) should be given U.S. citizenship regardless of the nationality of the mother or location of birth.

I fully explained my answer to this earlier in the thread. We disagree. Conception protects only the Life of the Baby, not where it's born.

those embryos that have been conceived are trashed if they aren't likely to survive inside the uterus

The examples you give in this case aren't "unwanted" pregnancies. They are miscarriages, or at least not fully viable fertilized embryos. You said many are discarded. Why? Because YOU said they cannot fully develop. So how is that aborting a perfectly healthy viable embryo? You're mixing apples and oranges trying to make a case for 99.9% of abortions that are performed on perfectly healthy and viable growing babies solely because they are unwanted. That's real smart.

I am not sure "autonomous" is the word you wanted, but yes, if a fetus is born, then it has rights that an eight week old fetus (clearly not born) doesn't have

One of the other posters in this thread used that word "non autonomous entity" to describe a growing fetus at only 8 weeks. You missed the essence of my stupid question. A baby at 8 weeks is just as "non autonomous" as a baby at 36 weeks. Neither can survive without loving care from its mother. In both cases no matter how far long in development, that is still a baby in need of a mother's love and care. Yes they are at different stages of development...just as a 5 year old needs different attention than a 15 year old, but both still need the love and care of the Mother (and Father). But my question was too stupid for you to understand.

@Is This Moron Serious

Is killing a fully born infant murder, even if the mother carried it full term and then decides after birth the pregnancy was "unwanted"? If you don't favor that (most don't btw) then at what point before the baby is born is it OK for her to terminate its life? Please explain your answer.

You said you oppose later term abortions? However you never answered the second part of my question. When is it OK to kill a baby before it's born? Or put another way, at what point does killing an unborn baby become infanticide? Current legislation pending in many Leftist dominated states pins that amount of time to moments before full delivery, and it has tremendous support both among Democrats running for President as well as Democrat voters.

Partial birth abortions are legal in over a dozen States. You oppose or support those late term abortion permissions?

Moron, you said that pro-choicers support post-birth abortion. Not a single one of those links says anything close to that. Hell, your own Fox News link even has this in the link name: "COULD BE TERMINATED UP UNTIL BIRTH."

Do you know what "post birth" means, moron?

Face it, you're either a huge liar or simply one of the dumbest people on this board.

Again, I ask you to prove you claim that there is a movement of pro-choicers who support post-birth abortions. You made the claim numerous times, not a single one of your links suggests anything of the sort, and you keep hiding from it, moron.

Good job with the name calling, I was wondering when you'd get around to that? You aren't listening to your own side of this debate! The recent rash of "heartbeat" bills you Leftists are so exercised about is a direct response to the growing call for lifting ALL restrictions on abortions, even post birth! This is why folks are so outraged, because your side is arguing for Mothers killing their unwanted Babies even after they're born!

After birth abortions: Can they be serious?
https://www.washingtonpost.com/blog...log.html?noredirect=on&utm_term=.987fa689fc3a

excerpt
“We claim that killing a newborn could be ethically permissible in all the circumstances where abortion would be. Such circumstances include cases where the newborn has the potential to have an (at least) acceptable life, but the well-being of the family is at risk,” the article reads. “We propose to call this practice ‘after-birth abortion,’ rather than ‘infanticide,’ to emphasise that the moral status of the individual killed is comparable with that of a fetus (on which ‘abortions’ in the traditional sense are performed) rather than to that of a child.”

...more

"Pro-life voices have already latched onto the piece and the premise, ascribing motives not only to the authors – who really should have known better – but also to anyone who ever uttered a pro-choice word. This is what is in their dark hearts, or as Kelly Boggs in Baptist Press writes, “The authors use the exact same arguments to justify infanticide that abortion advocates use in defense of killing pre-born children".

Do you know what "post birth" means, moron?

Have you heard of incrementalism? Restrictions lifted on third trimester abortions led to partial birth abortions. Partial birth abortions led to lifting limits on near birth abortions. Near birth abortions led to proposals to lift limits on ALL abortions, and the "heartbeat" bills now rapidly making their way through various State legislatures is an effort to reverse that encroaching permission for post birth abortions or INFANTICIDE, which has already been proposed in some States!

Here, Virginia Governor Ralph Northam again explains his own State's proposal in case you didn't catch it earlier in the thread.
