    The words "Conservative" and "morality" should never be used in the same sentence.

    The creative thinking in science results in new knowledge and understanding that did not exist prior to the application of the scientific method in order to establish the veracity of that knowledge.

    That is something that anyone who actually understood science would know.

    Are you referring to the junk science of creationism and it's illegitimate progeny intelligent design?

    BZZZT You just CONTRADICTED yourself!

    A fertilized ovum consists of an egg and a sperm therefore a sperm must be a "human life" given that it is both human and alive.

    This is the crux of the issue with abortion. Religious people don't have any right to impose their faith-based beliefs on the rest of us.

    There is no clear definition of when a potential human becomes a human but it certainly isn't a human at the time of conception. So religion arguments are logically ruled out. End of story. It is entirely a faith statement with no supporting evidence.

    If you don't believe in abortion, then don't have an abortion. But that is where your religious liberties end.

    If I had my way, religion would be illegal to impose on children. Having been raised with religion, and knowing the huge toll all of the mumbo jumbo took on my life, I think it should be treated as child abuse. So you might want to consider how much of our personal beliefs we should be able to impose on others.

    No child should be exposed to religion before they are allowed to purchase other addictive substances like alcohol and tobacco. Then they can make an informed adult decision as to whether or not to partake of the religion of their preference.

    Yep, just like gods, angels, levitation and resurrection from death. All 'wacky' ideas, as I'm sure you'll agree. Classic!

    No, no, no....NOW you're switching to "inferior" life because I think you finally realize you gave no proof of anything else you have posted.

    NO, I'm not going there with you and your meandering ramblings and unproven comments.









    Abortion is legal . :nana: Women have the POWER to have one and as long as that bothers Anti-Choicers I'm happy.

    The thought process is yours. Human life begins at conception. That cannot be falsified whether it is legal or not. Morally there is no difference whether the human life has seen the light of day or not.

    There must be observations or experiments that confirm the hypothesis. Your examples fail that requirement. The hypothesis that human life begins at conception is observed 360,000 times per day.

    And all that is meaningless unless confirmed using the scientific method. Example - Einstein's theory of relativity which was confirmed by observation/experiment. And subsequently falsified.

    Then falsify the statement that human life begins at conception. That concept has absolutely nothing to do with religion.

    One of the leaders of the pro abortion advocates will not acknowledge that abortion terminates a human life. Why is that ??

    Do you believe it is immoral to rape someone? Do you want to force that morality on others through our laws?

    Why won't a prominent leader acknowledge that abortion terminates a human life ?? She was asked multiple times.
