Old days on cafemom on the topic of abortion.

Except it’s not semantics at all. Words have meaning. Abortion, while distasteful, is not murder.

Murder is a legal term. Abortion isn’t illegal, ergo it can’t be murder.

I've never supported abortion. I believe its murder. But i also believe in a womans right to choose.
Thats all. Only her right to choose.

Semantics.

Clearly. I was just explaining why it’s an illogical, irrelevant question.

No, I don’t believe those doctors/patients really exist, but if they do, it’s such a microscopic number that it’s irrelevant. That said, sometimes there must be small sacrifices for the greater good, even when it makes some of us uncomfortable.

Lol, well, it is possible for them to, and that’s what she did say. She supports the right for a woman to go in the day before her due date and abort. You don’t think that there are maniac doctors who wouldn’t deem a woman mentally unable to handle it and perform the medically necessary procedure? What world are you living in? It’s not an argument. It’s what she said.

I asked a specific member a specific question and she answered me.

Which you failed to do. Awesome.

Semantics.

I suppose then that since abortion isn't illegal I could murder someone and call it retroactive abortion and nobody would bat an eye since abortion isn't illegal.

Lol, I encourage you to look up what sarcasm is. I wasn’t using it. Look, dear, you said what you said. Own it.

God, you're a moron.

Back at you dear heart.

“ dear heart”?
This thread is pointless.

That’s such logical fallacy. Women aren’t having full-term abortions just because. It’s an illogical argument.

My supporting of a woman's rights to do what she wishes with her body still does not change the fact that you are trying to make the claim based on a logical fallacy. Of course I would give a ridiculous answer to an equally ridiculously presented situation. I'm a pragmatist and realist. I don't react to knee jerk fallacies. A woman going in and aborting a fetus the day before her due date is not realistic and does not actually occur. But would I support it anyways even though it medically has never occurred and would never occur in the medical field? Sure, because until the second that fetus is removed from the woman's body it is technically a parasite living within it's host and thus it is the host's choice what to do with it.

Aren't you glad your mommy didn't remove her little parasite? You know, since it's no big deal and all.

Your inability to comprehend is only a failure on your part.

Are you drunk? You clearly couldn’t do that and have it be legal. What a bizarre argument.

Semantics matter.
