You're so all over the place with your response that it's practically incoherent. A sure sign that you aren't even close to having a defensible argument for killing human beings at early stages of development. Let's keep in mind that you support abortion at all stages prior to actual birth.
First, your argument that any human DNA equals a living human being is demonstrably absurd. The difference between cutting someone's hair or crushing their skull and using suction to dismember their body may be lost on you, but it's apparent to everyone else that one action benignly removes DNA material and the other ends a life. The difference between an egg and a Zygote is that a Zygote is a living human being and an egg is not. That's science buddy, you're not fooling anyone with your dishonest questions.
"And that would lead to somebody who could walk and talk and throw a rock--and then die--RIGHT??"
No, that's not right. A Zygote is already a living Human being. That's been scientifically established beyond a doubt.
"Why do you arbitrarily cut off the possibility of a human birth at fertilization??"
I do no such thing, perhaps you should reconsider your question.
"We stop a sperm (a human sperm) 1 second from hitting the egg and you say--"NO PROBLEM"!"
The morality of contraception is another question altogether and really has nothing to do with abortion. Once fertilization takes place, a new Human being has come into existence and qualifies for all the moral considerations and accompanying moral obligations that do not apply to non-Human beings.
But if we (or most of the time---God) aborts them both at that time you say..."YOU MURDERING ATHEIST BASTARDS!!"--
I didn't say anything about atheists in my prior remarks about abortion. A human being who Kills another defenseless Human being for the sake of convenience is committing murder. It doesn't matter what their philosophy is, or whether they are an atheist or a Christian. Trying to equate miscarriage with the deliberate taking of a life is no justification for allowing One Human to take the life of another Human, simply for the sake of convenience. Likewise, trying to accuse God (who is the Creator and sustainer of the universe) of murder for allowing nature to take its course is perhaps one of the weakest arguments I have heard from you yet. At best it resembles a childish attempt to deflect responsibility for ones own actions. Even if you could somehow establish that it is morally wrong for God to take a life, (which you haven't even come close to establishing), that would not alleviate the moral guilt of abortion. |
