"I have called an egg an egg, a zygote a zygote, a blastocyst a blastocyst, a fetus a fetus, and a child a child. This is simply part of your inability to do other than engage in personal attack and misrepresentation."

I don't know how you can say that with a straight face. You have continually used "egg" to describe the unborn at all stages including Zygote, blastocyst and fetus. I have documented it repeatedly You just don't like to be caught doing it and you are trying to turn it around and blame me for your complete lack of integrity. It won't work Solon. You are the one acting like a two year old.

"The fertilized egg is a part of the woman and is the property of the woman and may be disposed of by the woman."

Your nose is growing! Biologically and genetically the mother and the fetus are two individual Human beings. Women and Slaves used to “property” that could be disposed of, but now we (at least those who are enlightened) see that Human rights are a function of being Human, irrespective of size, color, location, or sex. If Human rights are to be equal then they must be applied to all Humans, otherwise its just a matter of time until someone who is bigger or smarter or whiter comes along and uses your own arguments against you and denies your Humanity in order to dispose of you.

"There is no disagreement as to whether woman or blacks are legal persons. The abortion issue has nothing to do with racism or sexism."

Study a little history. I said your non-person arguments HAD BEEN used against Blacks and Women IN THE PAST.

"The abortion issue has nothing to do with racism or sexism."

You're using exactly the same argument NOW, that was used THEN, to deny the rights of others. I would say that is relevant.

"I do not plead in favor of abortion but rather the RIGHT to abortion."

So you are an abortion rights advocate, and you only encourage those who “want” to kill their offspring, and to do it quickly, as if that somehow absolves you of the stain of innocent blood! Would you like a towel to dry your hands?

If you advocated for slave owners rights to kill their slaves, then you would be giving tacit approval of, and speaking in favor of (advocating), slave killing. That would make you Pro-Slave-Killing and an advocate of killing Slaves. You continue to play word games, nothing more.
