Okay, then I can totally understand a pro-abortion (choice) view in light of this. I would disagree of course, but it does explain a lot. I mean, if you don't believe that people are any better than animals, how can you expect people to act any different than animals? Makes sense.I do. I look at all animals the same way I look at people and I think Jensa has a great point here, actually one I was going to bring up on another abortion thread.
You say that as though animals run around killing each other for the fun of it Many times I suspect animals can be far more moral than people.EEWRED said:Okay, then I can totally understand a pro-abortion (choice) view in light of this.

No, I am not trying to make any assertions at all. They said that they look at humans the same way that they look at chickens. That makes it very clear to me how one can be okay with abortion. I mean, if human life is not held as something that is more sacred than all others. I am not trying to put words in anyones mouth, so please except my apology if that appears to be the case.While I don't hold their line of thought...I think you're twisting their logic a bit there. That may be the logical conclusion of equating people with animals, but it isn't what either Jensa or C1 believe.
Rather, the assertion is that all life, regardless of if its human or not, is sacred, so they don't kill animals either.

Not unless there was a rooster around ...but I see what you're getting at.Jensa said:A chicken egg had the potential to become a chicken until someone took it from its mother at a ripe young age. Does this make eating eggs the murder of a chicken?
So then you should be consistently and without fail using some form of contraceptive, should you not? And by contraceptive I don't mean shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted.tearsofbezz8833 said::tsk: I think a woman has a right to choose and have her privacy, I know that when my bf has sex with me I don't want a baby I am way too young to put up with that.
No, that's a bit silly and evasive. What is being looked at is "potential".EEWRED said:Ummmm....Yeah, okay. Sooooo, your saying that you look at people the same way you look at chickens?:sarcastic

I honestly think the title of this redundantly repeated argument should be changed to 'pro-choice or anti-choice'. pitting 'choice' against 'life' isn't fair or right.Circle_One said:I do.

I am pro-choice as well! But the character of your comments are entirely out of line. There are some on this board definetly not Chrisitan and definetly not right-wing who oppose abortion. I think you owe most everyone on the board an apology.md_88 said:i am definetely pro-choice. i think a woman has the right to choose ***mod edit***
IMHO -A chicken egg had the potential to become a chicken until someone took it from its mother at a ripe young age. Does this make eating eggs the murder of a chicken?
Yes. To the chicken it is murder, as would the killing of a cat be murder to its own species. However, chickens would not consider the killing of a human to be murder, and more than we consider the killing of a chicken to be murder, if indeed chickens could consider such things. Murder is an inter-species concept.Since by most standard definitions, murder is taking of a human life, so no, it would not be murder...
but it is the taking of a life, just as the slaughter of any animal.
We as humans consume animals, so in essence it is different.
I am pro-life, and I am not a Christian.i am definetely pro-choice. i think a woman has the right to choose ***mod edit***
