"I do value Human Beings more than snot and pollen or parasites"

You don't know what you believe. The unborn offspring is a parasite so long as it has the biological necessity to survive through the oxygen, blood, and nutrients of the mother.

Definition of Parasite (from MEDICINENET.COM)

Parasite: An organism that lives in or on and takes its nourishment from another organism. A parasite cannot live independently.

So when you say you value a parasite (such as a zygote) the same as you value snot, I can only say: YOU ARE ONE STUPID AND WEIRD SAILOR.

"Have you renewed your PETA membership?"

I don't have a PETA membership. My care and concern for life goes far beyond the emotional stupidity of most such religious fanatics.

"Like Jews being compared to Rats. You have learned the lesson well, and the end results are much the same aren't they? A pile of dead leaves, a pile of dead Jews, a pile of dead babies."

I have never said any of these things and have expressly attacked and ridiculed anyone espousing such beliefs. You have your DRAMA shoes on and for lack of any cogent argument you again resort to deliberate misrepresentation and low brow attacks. Abortions are not done on human persons. They are done on tiny unwanted mindless eggs with no consciousness, nervous systems, arms, legs, interests, desires--not anything at all. If their potentiality could somehow be made into a valid argument for destroying the mother's rights then it would be an appropriate discussion. But nobody on these threads has even come remotely close to suggesting why potentiality has immanent value and why mothers should have their human rights stripped from them to serve either a parasitical fetal cell or their society.

Human Beings are not things to be farmed for spare parts so that you can have a better life"

Listen up, Dummy. If I take a part of me and some other adult takes a part of her and we create a zygote through cloning, we can damn well do what we damn well please with it. It is not a human person. It is shared personal property (it doesn't get more personal than your own dna, does it??). In the future, human dna WILL be farmed for spare parts so that human persons may recover their health and continue to bless the lives of their sons and daughters and mothers and fathers. Not you-Not anyone-can stop the human race from seeking benefit, health, and longevity. So just face the music. Your biblical "arguments" won't prevail; your emotional dramas won't prevail (they are as transparent as all Hell); and your swords (yes, you idiots will use them again) WILL be SMASHED into plowshares. You don't have to like it, but you WILL accept it.
