What? I thought that was from your 1st post. That was what jumped out at me when I first read this thread. I’m VERY annoyed when causality is confused with correlation - it happens all too often. That’s the only reason I replied to this thread, and that’s the only thing I’m discussing.
Causality should not be confused with correlation. Correlation is difficult enough to demonstrate.
Note that the majority of the abortuaries are located in poor, non-white neighbourhoods:
Disgusting!Thanks gam!
Of course. Naturally, the law of probability also suggests that a goodly number of those unborn babies might have been geniuses, too.
But what if most of them are not geniuses? What if we have a method to “select” the “genius” babies, and we are able to discard those who aren’t? Would you advocate that method?
Well, that’s just about the definition of “genius,” isn’t it, someone who’s way smarter than just about everyone else.
If we’re going to start killing people for not being geniuses, a whole bunch of us better start picking out coffins.
Well, thank God!!
And maybe it isn’t.
Go into an institution that houses “unwanted” babies and ask them if they want to be put to death. My guess is they’ll say no.
Everyone who lives must suffer at some time or other? Should we wipe out the whole human race to “prevent suffering?”
Cure or no cure, the killing of an innocent human being is murder.
I regret that they miss life itself because of abortion.
Well, we have to remember that conscious humans have a natural predilection towards self preservation. It is also worth noting that Peter Singer respects and emphasizes this. However, according to Singer, fetuses do not have this.Well, that’s just about the definition of “genius,” isn’t it, someone who’s way smarter than just about everyone else.

We have some help, you know, when it comes to solving our problems – He left us some very good advice.

Guess I can’t spell. Eudaimonia!!!
because it is a women’s choice and body. I am adverse to invoking abortion for such frivilous reasons. However, I am a staunch abolitionist and utilitarian, and I do approve of actions that are congruent with the aforementioned ethical systems.That’s kind of like saying, “according to Hitler, Jews do not have this.”
Utilitiarianism is the idea that a human being’s worth is what he or she contributes to society. A young woman is worth a great deal – her 95 year old grandmother with Alzheimers is worthless and should be put down.I am not concerned about the rights of women in the case of abortion. In contrast, most people who advocate abortion usually want to make this point salient. For example, on IIDB many posters there accept that one can abort a fetus for “genetic defects” such as disomy X (figure out what "disomy X is
Because it is a living human being and has as much right to live as you or I.
And this revelation just came over you? Let me explain – the rest of us live, too. We have eyes to see and ears to hear. We know what life is about, too. We know all about pain and injustice – it isn’t something that only one person knows.
It’s nice to know that you can have qualms about mass murder.
For some. And, if you could infallibly prove that life is not a blessing for certain individuals, then what?
For some.
Do aborted babies get what they deserve?
Please quantify ‘little’.
And there are pederasts who claim that children really “want it.” Those who tell us some children will be better off dead deserve the same respect.
auntieonomics: more abortions mean more crimes.
