Well see you have presented nothing of value here, just an unwarranted attack with no basis in reality and no support posted. So I can make a much stronger case that your debating technique is far more "unhealthy" than mine.
What about this pro-life sign? Is it emotional manipulation or fact based? Notice it's a picture of a post-birth child, but the message seems to imply that children like this one will die in abortions. Factual or emotional manipulation?
So you refuse to read back through the thread? NO you lose this one if you are too lazy to back up your assertion.
Also notice the implication that choosing NOT to give up a year of her life for pregnancy and recovery plus 18 years of caring for a child is motivated purely by selfishness--"so that you may live as you wish."
It's a scientific fact that human life begins at conception. It's a matter of opinion as to whether or not life has any meaning/value at such an early stage of life. Do we all agree that this is an accurate distiction? Dave Santor Writer for The Merck Manual davesantor@yahoo.com
Mother Teresa was expressing a subjective opinion, which means it was based on feelings or emotion, not facts. A subjective opinion can't be proven. More emotional manipulation: How old is the child in this picture? I'm pretty sure she is too old to be aborted.
Again, are you claiming the statement on the billboard is false? It is factual. You fail again. I don't see any mention of abortion on the billboard. Maybe it is just your guilt telling you it is there.
Well, actually I agree with the statement, "a person is a person," but the implication from citizensforlife.org is that abortion kills a person, and that is not factual. Seriously, you think this isn't an anti-abortion billboard? What is the point of it, then?
An abortion clearly kills a person. You are mistaken. How can a fetal homicide kill a person, but an abortion kills the same fetus and he or she is suddenly not a person because the killer was his/her mother?
PP citizens for life is an advocacy group opposing abortion and euthenasia, so in referring to SMALL lives which do you think they mean?
Once again you are spouting off about things you apparently do not understand. Show me how an abortion is not a homicide.
I don't see all that information on the billboard, so it seems it is left to the interpretation of the reader.
I understand perfectly that it has never been established by a consensus of scholars that a zygote, embryo or fetus is a person. I was hoping you would attempt to defend your assertion... but you have only denied the obvious and deflected. You should change your name to Weasel17.
Actually it clearly does not, never did. yea, you say that a lot, but never show any evidence. It does not.
Well you have yet to demonstrate an understanding of any of this. Asking to prove a negative in a debate? Not a good strategy and it does not demonstrate a grasp of the issue.
You do not? come on, no one has that bad reasoning ability, not even you. Leave it to you to misinterpret even that.
Welcome to the debate, hope you will stay for more that just this clarification, for which I am sure we all are grateful.
