So your argument is that its a growing living being.
Not a very convincing argument is it?

2. I've given my opinion and you've given yours. Congratulations, you've just for filled the initial purpose of this thread! Posting! However, I see no point in you giving your opinion to me in particular, since your opinion doesn't necessarily disprove anything. I'm not arguing, but the number two should have been separate from your post directed towards me.

1. You should really cut the patronizing attitude you've got here. It wont do.
2. My point doesn't disapprove anything, but it addresses your point that the mother shouldn't have the right to have an abortion because its "murder". Why should anyone but the mother (or the father) decide whether or not she can have an abortion?
And your entire argument that it's murder is flawed on 2 different levels.
1) You're argument is that getting rid of some cells and tissue is technically murder, and is therefore unlawful and immoral. You're basically using technicalities to give abortion a title which would make it illegitimate. It's a common argument used by many anti-abortionists to justify their belief.
2) It's actually not murder at all.
Mur-der - the killing of another human being under conditions specifically covered in law. (I'm guessing you cut out most of your definition to better back your argument)
As I've said during the time before the first trimester, the cells and tissue aren't even human yet (or conscious).

Well, seeing as Earth is coming up on it's 5 billion year anniversary, I would have thought that it would be a safe bet to assume that there were "at least" a trillion once born organisms.

In your original post I believed you were clearly referring to people, and I don't think the human body count has reached trillions yet (we weren't always here).

Do you agree, or should we enter an argument were neither can prove the other wrong, due to lack of ourselves existing so long.  |
Fixed.
