having a live birth with the baby turning out healthy isn't a guarantee from getting pregnant. That was the point we were trying to make.

It isn't as I made no claim other than the fact that you were wrong in claiming that being pregnant inevitably leads to birth. My pointing out that you changed your statement is not in and of itself a fallacy. Nice try.

It's not murder, it's abortion. Murder is the malicious ending of a person's life. You using that terminology to describe abortions is appealing to emotion and poisoning the well.

Enough assholes in the world to justify abortions. The last thing the world needs is more assholes.

The definition of murder is illegal killing with malice aforethought. Women who get abortions do not do so with hatred or dislike of the fetus.

What we have essentially established here is that the baby will not necessarily grow up to be a "wonderful human being". It is possible he or she will, but certainly not true of every, or indeed even the majority, of cases.
"I find that offensive" is never a sound counter argument.
"Men in general are quick to believe that which they wish to be true." - Gaius Julius Caesar
"I'm for truth, no matter who tells it. I'm for justice, no matter who it's for or against." - Malcolm X
"The soul of a nation can be seen in the way it treats its children" - Nelson Mandela
The wealth of humanity should be determined by that of the poorest individual.

"What makes a man

Strength enough to build a home
Time enough to hold a child
and Love enough to break a heart".

Terry Pratchett

But it's pretty likely. To the point where you can assume a pregnancy will end in a live birth. Technically they always end in a birth.

I never said they deserved to die. All I'm saying is that there being so many idiots in the world I don't mourn over possible assholes not getting born into existence.

An argument from fallacy requires an argument being logically stable despite a fallacy. Your argument sucks shit, with our without your moving the goal posts. Your moving the goal posts is just icing on your shit cake.

So, clearly you're not an actual anarchist, because an actual anarchist would not wait "just in case". Rational, decent people wait until they have a goddamn good reason to deprive an individual of their rights and their choices.

murder - the unlawful premeditated killing of one human being by another.

No you can't again 10-25% of the time it will not end in a live birth.
