Solon, I was not misleading or misdirecting. In our conversation we were talking about the rights of and the moral status of the thing that is aborted. You then respond "still act as if every unwanted smudge of sperm should be forced into existence" and "but your sperm don't thunk". I guess you could have been writing about something else, I can't read minds, but if so then 1 - Your post was misleading and not directly relevant to the point at hand, and 2 - You did not make it clear that you were talking about about something else, if you change the subject you should give some indication. That whole sub branch of our conversation was about the moral status and rights (or lack there of) of the thing that is aborted, in other words the fetus or embryo. Is a zygote, or a morula...equal to a fetus?? A zygote or a morula is not what is killed in an induced abortion. Also neither is the same as a smuge of sperm. but you then added "blob" of sperm in order to make it appear that I might have been alluding to a blastocyst stage of development. I added "blob of sperm" because I thought that was what you said. In reality you said "smuge of sperm". I admit this was a misquote, but it doesn't change the meaning. When I used the wrong term (blob instead of smuge) it wasn't a direct quote. When I did make a direct quote it was correct. If you are so upset about the difference between a "blob" and a "smuge" then I apologize for misleading people in to thinking you said "blob". Only a fool or a dishonest person could confuse the description of "a smudge of sperm" with a developed fetus--only a fool or a dishonest person. But since we were talking about developed fetuses and embryos your use of the term "smudge of sperm" was either foolish or dishonest, or atleast careless. Especially--since I was gracious enough to fully explain the matter! Your explanation is that you were talking about a zygote which is 1 - not subject to induced abortion so it is not what we were talking about and 2 - not a sperm or a smudge of sperm. Tim
