Doesn't matter if I abstain when the majority of the public doesn't.

Because children born into divorced homes are more likely to end up on welfare, more likely to commit crimes, etc. As a taxpayer, I'll be paying for your irresponsibility.

Yes, because you are the one who gets to decide at what point it's fine and when it's not for abortion. God, you leftbertarians do like to make calls that cater to your desire to do as you please while ignoring the damage you do to others, but hey, muh freedoms to abort come first!

Abortion affects the baby. Drugs affect the people around the drug abuser. Look at how many people are killed by drunk drivers every year and tell me alcohol doesn't affect others.
Porn, consensual sex, and gay marriage are pretty harmless to anyone not involved, but that doesn't mean the state should celebrate them and demand you celebrate them as well.
When will those bastards realize that we live in society, so what somebody does affects, directly or indirectly, the rest of us.

>there is no evidence that the fetus is a person
The overwhelming majority of medical doctors, when polled, say that a fetus is a human being beginning either at implantation or segmentation. The only other response which even registers in polls of medical doctors is "I don't know." In case you're not aware, this would mean a fetus is a human being beginning around 3-21 days after fertilization, depending on which doctor you ask.
Pro-abortion activists generally don't even try to claim the fetus is not a human being because they know it's a ridiculous assertion beyond some point of development and anti-science. You could possibly convince a layman that a 4 week old fetus isn't a human being, but good luck convincing anyone but the most zealous pro-abortion activist that a 40 week old fetus is not a human being. They instead redirect to the theoretical consequences of making abortion illegal or legally limited.

Do you know what makes humans so important? Why is it that we cant kill eachother but we can kill animals? Why its our highly advanced brains of course! The human brain is so far beyond any other animal and it gives us so many amazing cognitive abilities.
Guess what the cognitive abilities of an 8 week old fetus are? They arent even CLOSE to being anything relevant.

It's half-assed is what it is. Most of that stuff can fall neatly under "pursuit of happiness," with the justification that it doesn't affect anyone except those involved, with the notable exception of abortion.
That being said, nowhere in the actual adopted constitution does it ever guarantee a right to pursue happiness, that was in the declaration of the independence.
The more apt argument is taking a bit from the preamble.
"...form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty ..."
Do we prioritize from the top to the bottom, or do we use abrogation like Muslims?
If we do it muzzy style, it's Liberty > Welfare > Defense > Tranquility > Justice, with Justice being the least important.
Going from top to bottom, it's Justice > Tranquility > Defense > Welfare > Liberty.
So, basically, the real question is do we prioritize Liberty or Justice, and is common welfare more important than Liberty, or more important than Justice? Or do we just shuffle the priorities of the constitution around as needed?
Given that we're not mudshits, I'd say Liberty's at the bottom, which is why you don't have the "Liberty" to drop nukes at random (Threatens Defense, Tranquility, Welfare, Justice.)
That being said, Justice outranks Tranquility so that brings us right back to "Is a fetus a human life? If so, then killing a human life is wrong as it is not Just without mitigating factors." In otherwords, fuckface, it's the same goddamn argument that it has been for 20 years.

Depends on how high functioning they are. I have a neighbhour with down syndrome and i see him walking the dog by himself as well as getting on city transit to supposedly go for a job.

Actually, according to science, they do think consciously. It's a common misconception though, and only was disproven, or at least as much as you can prove/disprove in science, recently.
There are certian things they don't get till later, but all those are things no other species has.
>>67716854

its not arbitrary at all. Our cognitive abilities are what give us everything we have in society and what seperates us from literally every other animal.

>>67717221
>they do think consciously

>>67716626
>Someone like him should be allowed to live
>Someone who is basically a braindead vegetable should not
You left a large gap of possibilities in between. You also incorrect characterized the latter. The law allows that we are not required to maintain life support for someone who is braindead. This is not the same as actively killing someone.
Should a human being with intelligence on par with a dog have a right to life? The law says yes. As such, the standard cannot be intelligence relative to other species. The standard must be that we cannot kill humans under any circumstances except to protect/defend the lives of others or possibly with their consent (euthanasia).
I can't believe there are people on this board who argue against abortion.
How can you possibly think that removing a clump of cells is more harmful than introducing human beings into a household where they aren't taken care of because their parents weren't ready, or worse, put into an adoption center where they'll live miserable lives.

No, it's completely arbitrary. It's even more arbitrary based on your line of reasoning, killing people who aren't even born yet because "they're not conscious enough lol".

So then abortions should be illegal after a baby is supposed to survive outside of the womb?
Then, since this will most likely be possible in the future, and in fact is technically possible now, a baby which is not relying on the mother for life, like test tube babies, can't be killed.
Or is relying on any support at all grounds for killing? Because if so, I'm going to go kill all the people in the welfare line.

>>67718228
I did. But consider this:
Science considers fetus to be alive and human from the moment of conception because, if they aren't killed by outside forces like abortion, they will become a human. Here we must also apply that to consciousness. We don't kill babies after the third trimester because they have the ability, if left unaffected by outside forces, to develop consciousness. But this does not actually begin there. Those cells which allow that are hard coded into the dna, that means from the moment of conception, the DNA will begin developing the things to needed support this consciousness. You can't build a house before making the foundation first after all. You are setting an arbitrary point, when in fact the entirety of the process is building up to allow for consciousness. Those ceels, protiens and the like would be useless with out the rest of the body. It's not indivual single celled organisims, they are codependent and you are commiting a grave fallacy by seperating one part of the body and putting it in higher regard when it in fact can't function with out the rest. Your limits have no basis in science, and the fact that you argue that they do demonstrates either severe delusion or willful ignorance.

It's a clump of tissue that faintly resembles characteristics of a human being. This does not equal a human being.

Oh, so know you know more than biologists huh?
Heres a quote from the esteemed Dr. Robert george in his wonderful boom entitled embryos:
“That is, in human reproduction, when sperm joins ovum, these two individual cells cease to be, and their union generates a new and distinct organism. This organism is a whole, though in the beginning developmentally immature, member of the human species. Readers need not take our word for this: They can consult any of the standard human-embryology texts, such as Moore and Persaud’s The Developing Human, Larsen’s Human Embryology, Carlson’s Human Embryology & Developmental Biology, and O’Rahilly and Mueller’s Human Embryology & Teratology.” – Dr. Robert George
“Human embryos, whether they are formed by fertilization (natural or in vitro) or by successful somatic-cell nuclear transfer (SCNT — i.e., cloning), do have the internal resources and active disposition to develop themselves to the mature stage of a human organism, requiring only a suitable environment and nutrition. In fact, scientists distinguish embryos from other cells or clusters of cells precisely by their self-directed, integral functioning — their organismal behavior. Thus, human embryos are what the embryology textbooks say they are, namely, human organisms — living individuals of the human species — at the earliest developmental stage.”

I disagree. It is pretty much inevitable at his point that degenerates shall be shielded from the negative effects of their decisions by the sate. In a regime whereby the state is a non actor sure, but that's a pipe dream under democracy.
>>67719567
You claimed the cognitive ability of humans being above that of other species was the reason we cannot kill humans.
I asked, "do you believe mothers should be allowed to kill zika-babies (microcephaly) [or Downs Syndrome]?" You responded, "depends on how high functioning they are."
I asked, "should a human being with intelligence on par with a dog have a right to life?" You responded, "thats a pretty wide range. Some dogs are extremely intelligent."
Your response implies that you believe humans with a consciousness on par with the most intelligent breeds of dogs have a right to life. Otherwise, you would not reasonable raise the issue of the varying intelligence of dogs. I could go even further and use the standard of Koko, the gorilla. It is believed Koko has an intelligence equal to humans with an IQ between 70 and 95. Koko is not a human. Koko is not of the same species.
To claim the cognitive abilities of humans relative to animals is why we cannot kill humans, yet at the same time to claim humans with cognitive abilities on par with other species should be protected by murder laws is a direct contradiction. You can feign ignorance or misunderstanding, but your argument has fallen apart in its entirety.

Yeah, you didn't read the second link, because it has way more than two. If you aren't going to even look at the evidence, why should I engage in a dialouge with you? You're simply going to refuse anything that doesn't back up your preconceived notions, you don't want to learn, you want to be right.
You don't care about the truth unless it helps you be right. That's sickening.

Alright then, murder is okay under certain circumstances: clumps of baby cells before the third term and certain self defense cases.

Those are not contradictions. Im sorry you spent so long typing out a long ass reply when its really not that hard to understand.
There are VERY FEW DOGS in the world that are as intelligent as humans. They are the exception, not the rule. When i was talking about being way smarter than other animals i meant the GENERAL intelligence level of that species. Im so terribly embarrassed for you.

>>67720669
I disagree. If you let the state protect degenerates from themselves, then you ensure that they reproduce and create more degenerates. Also, you imply that the state has the right to your life and body, to which I believe that the individual has the right to destroy both.
>>67720997
A seed that has taken root and otherwise on the way to being an adult tree is a tree.
You cannot possibly say a human fetus is not a human. Not ever. Again, you're just drawing arbitrary lines because you have no real reason for justifying murdering babies outside of "muh convenience and cost on society". This is why you make such ridiculous arguments because you're too scared to outright say that you're fine with killing people based on age.

If you actually read what I linked, the paper discusses the social ramifications of legalized abortion and how it has increased the prevalence of single mothers by removing responsibility from fathers.
I am not agreeing with you. You claimed that PREVENTING abortion does more harm than good. I asked for a citation. I also provided my own which discusses one way in which LEGAL abortion does more harm than good.

It devalues marriage and fag culture is pretty degenerate. They are more likely to transfer STDs and are annoying.

Keeps minorities in check. Besides that, you're taking rights and value away from the fetus. It does affect someone else....the fetus being killed. Increased number of abortions has also translated into way more child abuse since it devalues the mother-child bond.
Who doesn't like sex?
>Don't like drugs? Don't do them
Drugs should be legalized. But that is a shit argument and a half.
Many of those aren't even rights and the logic is retarded. With that logic, you can do anything that is bad....as long as you're doing it in privacy.

You cant charge someone for theft of your car if they stole the tires that you were using when you were building it in the garage. Its the same fucking thing.
You cannot say something is the same as something else just because it WILL be one day. Yes, it WILL be, but at the moment its NOT the same thing. its pretty fucking easy to understand.
One day you will be dead. All humans are on their way to death. Does that mean we are dead right now? nope
>>67721398
That's the problem though. Once you give the state the right to legislate morality they are able to create laws that don't align with you morally.
In other words, how can the state determine what is morally right?

I did not "equate" "babies" and bacteria.
An embryo is not a "baby", and I didn't equate human embryos with bacteria but compared them because they're both life and just merely saying, "life begins at conception and killing life is bad m'kay" is stupid, because obviously in nature there is absolutely nothing wrong with killing life.

The vast majority of scientists who deal in human medicine put the time at which someone becomes a human being between 3 and 21 days after fertilization, i.e. either after implantation or after potential segmentation. This is supported by polls of medical doctors. The embryonic stage of development comes later, starting around the 5th week.
You are entitled to your own opinions, but you are not entitled to your own facts.
>>67721648
Then ultimately we can't draw a line in the sand, because all of those systems are flawed and biased perceptions of how to live life. We can only pretend that we know what's the best for society when all we have is faith.
Have some goddamn humility, objective morality never works out.

No I am not. I'm simple stating the simple truth (at least how I see it) whereby if you have state programmes where everyone is paying in, then suddenly the individual action of degenerates that would normally just be them become the problem of society. Let me give you our example. We're rapidly approaching as a country American rates of obesity. A large part of this is due to the NHS, who provide a safety net. If that safety net was not there then it would be up to the individual to look after their own livelihood and health. As it is you have people who are "free" to kill themselves with junk food and that liver or heart transplant is offloaded onto society at large.

You do know that leads to paradoxical outcomes, right? And what is logical, is it the greater good? And what is empathetic, is it whatever is empathizing with your emotions?

On one hand, you claim that the general intelligence of humans relative to other species is the reason we cannot murder each other. On the other hand, you claim the specific intelligence of specific humans is justification for murdering them, despite the fact there are specific animals which are more intelligent. You cannot have it both ways. How you cannot see this is a contradiction is beyond me. It's quite sad, really.
>>67722114
>You do know that leads to paradoxical outcomes, right?
No thats why you use a combination of ALL of them. If you are truly logical then you understand that humans are not logical and therefore you have to take into account their emotions too.

But you didn't respond to any of my questions of how does one determine the extent of "value" in logic and value in emotion. I'm not strawmanning you;you said we had to elect leaders that base their decisions on logic, reason, and empathy, and my questiond pertained to whether one can define the valuable extent of logic, reason, and empathy.

Exactly. Right now our government is trying to tax sugary drinks because of the diabetes risk.

Here you go. Over 1000 OB/GYNs polled. 57% said conception. 28% said implantation. The rest were unsure. You can claim there is disagreement among medical professionals as to when a fetus becomes human. You cannot claim the argument is outside of the first weeks of pregnancy. 85% clearly put it within the first week.

What kind of non-argument is this? You outright refuse to say fetuses are humans because of cognitive dissonance. You give non-arguments because you can't confront the fact that you are willing to murder people simple based on age. This, of course, is because you're dishonest.
