Backpeddle and change subjects when proven wrong much?

Your stem cells will be useful for someone who possesses sentience.

Apparently the rigors of debate are too much for you.

I'm not well schooled in the Bible but I think you're lying through your teeth.

Now...Like I said...Let me know when you're interested in interesting discussions, rather than pointless accusations and name calling.

Hardly. I didn't call you names. That is another lie. You rebutted my equation of abortion to abolition by claiming that the Bible supported slavery. Mention of slavery in the Bible is not relevant to the fact that Christians have rejected slavery on Biblical grounds and do so with abortion as well.

Just like the vast majority do not consider the use of the pill abortion...But still, many Christians do consider it so.

Perhaps you would like to discuss your abusive use of straw man arguments? Abusive because you claim that 'many Christians do ...' without citing a source. A straw man because 'the pill' usually refers to birth control pills that prevent conception and I have never heard anyone call that abortion. The 'morning after' pill does kill an embryo however. It is also dangerous to the life and health of the woman who uses it. But all of that is completely off topic and that's why you threw it in. That is most disingenuous.

If fundamentalist Christians are right--that the Bible is the literal word of God, ...

Here you heap more misdirection onto the strawman you made. If? Either you believe they are right or you don't. At least have the courage to say that much. Irregardless of your callousness and cowardice it is irrelevant. What one sect of Bible believers thinks of the Bible has nothing to do with the ethics of slavery or abortion. I know of no Christians today who accept slavery as moral or ethical.

My original point stands unchallenged in truth; " The vast majority of Americans had no problem with slavery in 1830. Thankfully we were founded as a republic not a democracy. Mob rule is usually misguided." Your argument that "You may have a problem with using frozen embryos ... But, the vast majority do not have such a problem." is still so much mob rule pablum.
