Like I said - there's a difference between fetus and zygotes.
Nice guys talk because they have something to say; pick-up artists talk because they have to say something.

That's a cancerous liver. Not really related to abortions.
Unless you view unwanted pregnancy as a disease, just like cancer.

She posted pictures most people would find repulsive in order to play on our emotions (as many anti-abortionists do). My point in posting that picture of the liver - which is also rather repulsive - is that it's an argument holds no real factual or logical value, since how it looks to us isn't indicative of suffering or life or anything else.

Pro-life...even if it was banned, back-alley abortions would still take place, and legal and medically sound abortion is very much preferable to that...

All you people talking and arguing about what's right or wrong.
Untill you all go through it you'll never know - there is no wrong or right, it just depends on your situation.
And those pictures, disgust me - you are one sick person. When abortion is an available option there is no baby - just a few cells. In this country they don't abort after more than 12 weeks, by which point the feotus is still not a human.

Those pictures are REAL. Are you trying to say that they're made up? No DOUGHNUT, we have thousands of partial birth abortions in this country, it's not a joke.
Your "Just a few cells" analogy takes away from the principle of the idea which leads to shit like that happening. What's the difference between a a few cells that will soon develop INTO that dead child and the dead child? The difference is...a few months.
The "just a few cells" shit is what has supported the idea of abortion and it's what has caused our vision of life to become so damn tainted.
“America needs no words from me to see how your decision in Roe v. Wade has deformed a great nation. The so-called right to abortion has pitted mothers against their children and women against men. It has sown violence and discord at the heart of the most intimate human relationships. It has aggravated the derogation of the father's role in an increasingly fatherless society. It has portrayed the greatest of gifts -- a child -- as a competitor, an intrusion, and an inconvenience. It has nominally accorded mothers unfettered dominion over the independent lives of their physically dependent sons and daughters. And, in granting this unconscionable power, it has exposed many women to unjust and selfish demands from their husbands or other sexual partners. Human rights are not a privilege conferred by government. They are every human being's entitlement by virtue of his humanity. The right to life does not depend, and must not be declared to be contingent, on the pleasure of anyone else, not even a parent or a sovereign."
-Mother Theresa

Did anyone, including Doughut, argue that they weren't real?
Actually, the "just a few cells" is absolutely why abortion isn't immoral.
What's the difference between having sex with Doughnut now than having sex with her 60 years from now?
Right, after all, it's "just a few cells."
Mother Teresa's argument.
On another side, you happen to have the word Catholic in your name, so I'll assume your Catholic.
Sometimes, it's baffling how certain religious nuts think the way they do. Let's take the example of the 9 yr-old Brazilian girl carrying twins due to rape, even the Vatican is jumping on the bandwagon to condemn the abortion.
Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re wrote: "It is a sad case but the real problem is that the twins conceived were two innocent persons, who had the right to live and could not be eliminated."
Okay sure, I can respect people having an opinion that unborn fetuses have a right to live. But what I can't understand is WHY they cannot see that if the girl does not get an abortion, she will most likely die, and so will the twins? So the Catholic Church would rather condemn 3 lives to death for the slim possibility that 1 or 2 may survive.
It's ironic how they will *not* excommunicate the rapist stepfather, but *will* excommunicate those who carried out the abortion. Good to see they got their priorities right... *cough*

I think you're absolutely absurd.
First of all, it isn't your choice to make, it's the mother of the baby, in question.
Secondly, you have no right to support the fact that if a female does get pregnant, she should definitely have the baby.
One of my close friends, was raped. It was very difficult for all of us in the group, to understand it and to consequently help her through it, but we managed it. And when she found out that she was pregnant, from that very rape, none of us questioned her decision to abort, because in our opinions, it was the right thing to do. We were all only 15 at the time, young and reckless, but still we had the sense to realise that it was the right thing to do. She couldn't support the baby, and obviously we would have helped in any way we could if she had had it, but we all were young too.
I think it's ridiculous the way you go on screaming about pro-life, when you have no experience, let alone no way to prove your point.
Frankly, I agreed with her decision and I stood by it, because I watched her through every step after that ordeal. The pain she went through, not to mention loss of dignity and no feeling of safety, is difficult to comprehend. But to stand there and judge and go on screaming that 'abortion is wrong' is just unjustified, because it isn't our choice, it isn't our decision. Until and unless we are in that position, we cannot make choices and decisions for others.
Therefore, I think you should stop trying to force your opinions on others. It's completely uncalled for. And you talk about this so called 'vision of life', but you should understand that maybe it's just your vision that's tainted, not everybody elses.
My friend has gone through so much, but we all know that we're all better people for being there for her, today. She's doing exceptionally well now, and of course, for a while, she was completely dead inside, but in the end, I think it all worked out for the better.
Don't judge and make decisions without the experience to back it up, man.

B)The idea of me having sex with somebody is completely different from the human growth pattern, that's exactly like a pro-choice person to say something completely fucking ridiculous that distracts from the real issue. The time of which I would have sex with somebody is completely unrelated to the abortion of a pregnancy...what the fuck.

E) Once again, this is a specific case that I certainly don't have an opinion on. I personally could not tell a 9 year old girl that she could not have an abortion, so please don't put that on me. I don't have to agree with the Cardinal's decision, it wasn't infallible.
