“Well thanks for admitting that the child is not the mother and the mother is not the child”

Stop weaselling. That is for infants and…well--weasels! Since you seem to be unaware of the fact. Children do not come from storks! They are a result of a sperm smashing into an egg at which time the egg has sufficient DNA to divide and grow into an embryo and so forth. This egg is the property of the mother just as the child will be when born. After birth, the State will then have an interest in the child as it will then be deemed to be a citizen and a human person. Understand that these distinctions are created by we the people and can be changed. Rationally, however, we have it right at this time in civilization. Mothers are not prevented from sitting over a pot of stewed onions. They are not hand cuffed and smashed about and fed gruel in order to appease religious control freaks. Religious police do not bust into peoples homes to take control over our sperm and eggs and to force women to birth. Nor do they force them to have abortions although this would be their complete right if the woman did not have the rights that other humans are granted.

“Being on someone's property does not give the property owner the right to kill you”

Thank you for the red herring. Sigh...

Apparently, you have never heard of Castle Laws or Stand Your Ground laws. However, you can probably find a thread on SI to discuss this change of subject. Perhaps a Real Estate thread somewhere on SI or if you are wishing to discuss the law in some American States that being on someone’s property gives them the right to kill you, you could probably find a thread for that, too. As a matter of fact I will take 30 seconds out of my day to grab a link for you. There. You’re welcome.

“First: The only ones doing forced forced abortions are (oddly enough) the Atheists running the Chinese Government”

I don’t know to what degree Communist ideologies or others are ignoring women’s rights but we will not let it happen here. Tough titty.

The rest of your paragraph is ignorant trash talk.

“There is no inherent "right" for one Human Being to kill another Human being for the sake of convenience”

Huh! Thanks for another red herring! That absurd proposition has never been discussed on this thread and I will not humour your idiocy.

“no Human Being can be said to be the property of another Human Being”

Human life at all stages before birth is the property of the provider/carrier. A human person becomes both property and a citizen and the State acquires an interest in how that property is treated and cared for.

You probably don’t like the usage of property because you may think it refers to slavery as the Christians practiced for 2 millennia until civilization (including some out of the box Christians!) reformed their morals! But this is about citizens who have human rights and freedoms equal to their adult care givers but lacking in certain privileges. I use the word property so you will understand that the parents have a social duty of care and protection because the child BELONGS to them. Do not confuse this with slavery as practiced in the Church based on biblical justifications!

"From a purely Scientific viewpoint, at what stage of development does the zygote become a Human Being?”

I remember clearly responding to that post, so if you return to the post you will find the answer you must have missed. Maybe you should read the post responses when you are half sober? These persistent missed replies of yours are all a bit abnormal, don’t you think?! If you need help with the answer simply bring up the entire post and point out where you are having comprehension troubles.
