Right off the bat he’s honestNo, he isn't. Abortion will never be ended in the country known as the USA. Maybe not. But he’s fighting for a just cause.

He isn't. You lied.

He isn't. You lied. FFS. I meant he’s being honest about his intentions. Getting tired of having to explain myself all the time here...

So the underlying theme now seems to be that unborn children are NOT innocent after all. So then what is your moral objection to abortion then? If unborn children can be guilty (even deserving of death according to your religion), then where do you get off telling a young mother who was raped that she is immoral for terminating her pregnancy due to the “innocence” of her child? Because that was the plea you made earlier, INNOCENCE remember? I sense more kettle logic coming now. God has the authority. He is the creator, the very source of life. He gives life, therefore he can take life. Case in point! God has the authority. He is the creator, the very source of life. He gives life, therefore he can take life. Translation: I can’t actually answer that question, because there is no objective standard of innocence even according to my own argument as you’ve just proved! Therefore I shall resort to special pleading and circular reasoning. “God” (which is something that I just happens to believe in even though I can’t prove he even exists) determines that some unborn children are innocent and that others are not, using some unknown, subjective rationale that we cannot objectively evaluate. Because that...you know...makes sense or whatever! And positions like that are why you have such difficulty getting people to take you and these threads of yours seriously. When forced to engage in critical thinking, you will ALWAYS end up resorting to circular reasoning. “Immoral behavior is whatever god supposedly says is immoral, except when God himself does the exact opposite, in which case it is no longer immoral....because god says so! And god is real because the Bible says so. And whatever the Bible says is true, because god inspired it. And god is real, because the bible....etc, etc, etc....To hell with logic!” That’s essentially your argument in a nutshell!

Hey, captainbryce, does Cody realize that if he is against abortion, that he doesn't have to have one? And that other people have the responsibility for their own choices?

The mere fact that the OP either doesn't know, or can't differentiate between an embryo and a fetus tells a lot about his qualifications for having any opinion on abortion. It's not just semantics--there's a major difference in the two gestational states, and goes a long way toward explaining why abortion in the first trimester can't in any meaningful way be considered murder--unless you abide by the wholly silly 'life begins at the moment of conception' stance, which has no medical or scientific standing whatsoever.

Hypocritically, it is godbotherers' entire goal in life to tell others what to do according to their opinion and interpretation of their God's holy 'moral law' whether others are believers or not. The arrogance, hypocrisy and presumption is mind boggling.

Why would people think that when the bible condoned it? Okay, well that’s good of you to admit. Now that we know you don’t have faith in people, and we seem to agree that nobody should, then what point were you making? Because that seems to bolster my position about how morality is subjective. You tell me. I’m not referring to the sinful, wicked adults who died in the flood, I’m talking about the children (since that seems to be the moral relativism you’re trying to avoid. Were the children (including the unborn ones) innocent? That’s something for you to ponder as you wrestle with this apparent contradiction. So the underlying theme now seems to be that unborn children are NOT innocent after all. So then what is your moral objection to abortion then? If unborn children can be guilty (even deserving of death according to your religion), then where do you get off telling a young mother who was raped that she is immoral for terminating her pregnancy due to the “innocence” of her child? Because that was the plea you made earlier, INNOCENCE remember? I sense more kettle logic coming now. What is your measure of innocence Cody? How are we to objectively determine whether an unborn child is “innocent” or not? What did Pharaoh Ramisees young child actually do that warranted a death sentence? What did any of the unborn children who god ordered killed do to warrant their death? No, you cut the crap. Don’t try to remove any and all context from someone else’s position and intentionally distort their argument in order to attack a straw man. A woman who was raped and became pregnant deciding to terminate the pregnancy 3 weeks later is not the same thing as a woman who cheated on her husband deliberately causing a miscarriage in her 6th month to avoid the embarrassment of having her adulterous affair exposed. According to you, they are exactly the same thing and should be treated the same. My position is that they are different scenarios entirely and thus should be considered differently. God has the authority. He is the creator, the very source of life. He gives life, therefore he can take life.
He is infinitely holy, just and loving. He rules. So your God gets a free pass on causing miscarriages to up to 50% of all impregnations, butt the woman herself has no say...because?

"God has the authority. He is the creator, the very source of life. He gives life, therefore he can take life.

Translation: Park your brains here, folks. God makes the rules and don't question them.
Those who have had their capacity for critical thought and judgment short-circuited from overloading with faith-based claptrap settle for that as an answer. As to those who actually prefer using their minds in preference to marinating them in god-juice 24/7, a response like that will never elicit anything more than the usual head shake and eye roll.

Human beings are just clumps of cells more or less. Pro choice arguments don't involve arguing that the clumps of cells aren't human beings. The arguments have to do with properties the clumps of cells/human beings have at different points of development. A human being is a human being. We all go through the same developmental stages. Nobody should have the right to end the clump of cells/human beings life based on their lack of properties. Don’t murder the fetus and in time it will obtain those properties just like everyone else. If the mother doesn’t feel she can support the child then the ethical thing to do is give it up for adoption. Unless YOU are willing to provide for that fetus when it becomes a human being, fuck that fetus and fuck YOU.

What if the fetus grows up to the age of 6 and it’s mother falls into extremely hard times and can no longer provide for that child. Should she just say fuck YOU and kill it then?

If you can't, then your rant about innocence makes as much sense as what I am going to say now. Embryos, fetuses and newborns are not innocent.

There are some cases where that is exactly what should be done, but the law won't allow it.

What if slavery was made legal again? I’m presuming, if you’re consistent, that you wouldn’t have a problem with that?

It amuses me (and horrifies me) that you equate a zygote and a six year old child. There is NO equivalence, scientifically, rationally, emotionally and practically beyond a DNA code, as yet unused in the zygote. When I think of the number of unused DNA codes in all the miscarried zygote and foetuses,(apparently, according to you caused by God in his God giveth and God taketh away life mode) even that equivalence pales into insignificance.
