Abortion: A fetus doesn’t care

The Tower of Light ^ | 09 December 2010 | David Zuckerman

His argument would as easily fit the situation where the victim is in bed asleep and Zuckerman slips in quietly and blows his brains out with a shotgun.

This guy is a mental defective.

“Although it could be argued that I would be missing out on future experiences, I would not have been aware of this deprivation and would therefore not have experienced this deprivation.”

Take the Dead Kennedy's message to heart then and kill the poor. It wouldn't be a "quality" life. No more poverty. Problem solved, if you can live with yourself...

[windsorknot]

Trees, rodents, insects, fish, and human fetuses: it’s all the same to the brilliant and enlightened like Zuckerman.

Alinsky and the one worship the devil.....small surprise there.

Lest anyone think your are joking, Saul Alinsky dedicated Rules For Radicals to Lucifer.

I guess the author is unaware that seventy years ago his last name alone would have placed him in the "inferior" (actually he would have been labeled something like a "subhuman") category and he would have been murdered.

However, we kill living things all the time. We chop down trees to build our homes, we kill rodents and insects when they intrude said homes, we kill fish and other animals for sport and for nutrition purposes, and neither microorganism nor mouse is safe in Smith Hall; they are constantly killed for educational and research purposes. We murder organisms we deem inferior to us without hesitance every day, and I personally believe fetuses fit into this category.

We do not have emotion for the reproductive gametes before they combine. When a man masturbates, I would be surprised to learn that he mourns the death of his sperm, as they die shortly after ejaculation. However, once a sperm cell combines with an egg and has the potential to become a human, people become very emotional, despite the fact that it is not a person during the first trimester, the time in which abortions are permitted.

Zuckerman seems to have surpassed even Peter Singer in his lack of regard for human beings.

[Shamrock498]

So the main point of the author is that the fetus’ lack of awareness makes it ok....

so, if i were to walk up behind the author and shoot him in the back of the head thus killing him instantly, the fact that he was unaware of what just happened would make his murder ok with him?

Wow, how do you argue with that logic?

[ViLaLuz]

Another educated idiot with frightenly Nazi-like immoral beliefs.

[Servant of the Cross]

It would appear that some adult at Towson has taken this down. Wow. Intrinscally Evil indeed.

In the eyes of candid (instead of hiding behind neutral words like "choice") "enlightened progressives", this child is no different than a tree, rodent, insect, fish, animal, microorganism or mouse ... organisms "we" (and who is 'we' mr. future death panelist?) deem inferior to 'us' (meaning: the statist marxist/socialist government party superiors).

Now that's blatant intrinsic evil for all to see.

[Junior_G]

Hmm...I don’t think that the emotional well-being of the fetus is really the primary driver behind anti-abortion arguments. If you walk up to somebody on the street and shoot them in the head, nobody’s going to much care about the damage you did to their emotions. It’s the fact that you killed them that is the problem.

[Ol' Sparky]

We murder organisms we deem inferior to us without hesitance every day, and I personally believe fetuses fit into this category.

Life unworthy of life? Is that the premise being presented? I've heard that expression somewhere...I remember, that is the phrase the Nazis used to try to convince the masses exterminating the handicapped was the right thing to do.

[Outlaw Woman]

Disgusting. The author of this outrageous piece should be aborted immediately.

If a murderer humanely renders his victim unconscious that victim doesn’t care if he or she is murdered, either. Does that make murder okay as long as it is done humanely?

[sanjoaquinvalley]

It boils down to belief in the soul.If you believe there is a soul there you know it is wrong. I’m sick of the argument about rape! The baby didn’t do it. If I were to be a victim of rape, I wouldn’t blame the child or be ashamed of he or she. My first stop wouldn’t be the abortion center, my first stop would be a lawyer to make sure the rapist never got custody of MY child!!!

[Help!]

He’s a cuckold and those who do know of his ignorance and his wife’s infidelity think him a sap and an idiot. But I guess it’s okay because he’s ignorant.

And when years later he dies of AIDs not ever knowing how he got it.

>>”We murder organisms we deem inferior to us without hesitance every day”

>>There was a time and place where people named “Zuckerman” fit in to that category too.

Thanks. Quickly scanning, I had missed that.

[Lorianne]

That was my thought about his logic.

If the criteria is “they are not aware what is a happening to them”, that could apply to anyone. You could slip anyone a narcotic, say in food or drink, and when they are unconscious you kill them.

Following Zuckerman’s ‘logic’ (such as it is), since the person has no idea of what is happening, or about to happen, it is OK.
