That is something i would just call murder as it is a bit different from what you mentioned.

which means you have no respect for quality of life, why not just abduct people off the street to supply organs, after all they can save dozens of lives.
we don't because quality of life and living full people trump potentials and the severely compromised.

Also yes, it is possible, but then like i said, if any of the parents wants to keep it, it should be kept.

If you're going to be against women's bodily sovereignty, at least don't be discriminatory about it.

No, but it is simply cruel to bring a child into the world who might starve to death/live a horrible abusive childhood and become a mentally and physically scarred adult/become addicted to drugs, homeless, etc.

It is equally horrible to enslave women to the unthinking nonpersons we call "fetuses", but you advocate for that.

Cases of rape should leave the mother able to choose whether or not she wants the abortion.

You can say I'm this wishy washy, flip flopping when it comes to social issues like abortion and death penalty.

So, just wondering, if we caught Osama bin Laden alive, and he had a trial and was found guilty, and his punishment was up to you, would you condemn him to death?


Would I kill Osama bin Laden?

My answer, however controversial, is no.

Why?

Killing anyone, even a terrorist, makes me no better than him. He has a family too, however surprising that is. His family cares. Killing him takes him away from his family, and makes me no better than he is.

All pregnancies harm mothers and have the potential to be fatal. By that reasoning, abortion should be made available for all women on demand.

If you want to be pro-life, be fucking consistent.

In this case it's welfare spending for the survival of all human beings of society as we call it.

I disagree. He put his family and his life at risk when he became a terrorist responsible for (probably) thousands of deaths.

No, but you do imply that it is acceptable for them to kill their offspring, while the same is not true for non-rape offspring and the offspring of the wealthy. This means that they are worth less than rich, non-rape children, who must be protected.

Think of all the daughter and sons, brothers and sisters, all the families that died in 9/11.

Who would we be by stooping to his level, and taking him awy from his family.

I'm not saying we let him get away Scott free, but killing him won't do justice.

Children, no matter whom or where they come from, must be protected after birth is an obligation of those that support the pro-life movement.

I am giving a example (1 out of many) as to WHY they might get a abortion. So yes when you are so poor that you cant survive on your own, let alone a child...then ya.

The difference is that those people were innocent. They were being punished for no crime except being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Abortion, in the United States at least, is legal, and is thus not murder by definition.

The status of their sins does not weigh in on the decision to execute someone.

So what? If he was still alive, he'd be in a prison in GITMO, and no prison can secure everyone.

He'd probably break out and kill even more innocent people. That's not justice. Killing may be a sin, but it's better to kill killers than to let them keep on killing.
