Don't make believe a baby in the womb is non life and then after delivery it is, presto, life.

What about sperm? Sperm is alive. Just because it has not made it to the egg, does that mean that its life is not significant? Why not legally protect sperm?

You can take a position that favors abortion without being intellectually dishonest, no?

I do not take a position that favors abortion! What a disrespectful proposition. I have gone to war for this country but I do NOT favor war! That is what is so disgusting about the zealot religious fanatics who arrogantly see themselves as the saviors of the human race; abortion and war are both abhorrent but sometimes necessary. What is important is who decides about those matters and what determines that decision. We still have a way to go on both matters.

This can not be an argument so it must be a tacit admission that you are scientifically challenged.

Sperm is alive.

Right so is bacteria in you butt.

LOL.

Why not legally protect sperm?

You need help, you must have snoozed through every biology class you ever took.

You did take biology, no?

"What about sperm? Sperm is alive."

Not sure what to make of this. You DO know the difference between HUMAN life and sperm? The rest of the post is too confused to comment on. And since you evaded comment on the points I made in my #75 I think I have been more than accomodating to comment to the degree that I have.

Ant Z: "...sometimes here in the Colony I feel so...insignificant."

Therapist Ant: "EXCELLENT, Z! That's a real breakthrough.

Ant Z: "It is? How's that?"

Therapist Ant: Well, Z. You ARE insignificant."

Ant Z: "I am?"

This is your second reference on this thread to religious zealot/fanatics in reference to an anti-abortion position and as a pro-life agnostic I must take issue with your assumption.

There are many stances from which many people take a pro-life position: feminist, agnostic, atheist, libertarian, even vegetarian. I won't get into the abortion/life debate with you...it's too late at night you're simply too cookie-cutter tedious on the matter but please refrain from lumping into the reliable "religious-zealot-and-therefore-may-be-dismissed-trashcan" all those who find abortion barbaric and unacceptable in a humane society.
