What’s then a just penalty, and for whom?

Very young human life includes fresh skin calls after division...

And whose skin cells are those?

The question isn't, "what is human life?" The question is "what is a person?"

According to whom...a bunch of wild-eyed baby-killing packer/muncher partisan hacks?

Personhood is determined by those who have reached the age of reason. ie. adults

Wow, you really think a lot of yourself, sounds like a contrived legal definition which flies in the face of natural law.

There is no baby and you and your cohorts are not the owners of it.

Of course there is and nobody claimed to be the owner of it. But we are devoted to its protection as an individual.

Do you not believe in the B

You seem to have the position that only your ideas or position matters. A growing majority of adults disagree with you. Thank God, enough babies have been murdered

. . . he claimed a uterus is smart enough to realize that a rape has occurred and will reject the zygote/embryo.

Really? He attributed independent thought to the uterus? Please point me to his words in that regard. Thanks.

There is certainly nothing wrong with holding that sentiment.

It is up to the victims of rape to make their own decisions however.

The govt makes all kinds of rules, including those little tags on our pillows. A govt of the people can most certainly decide to outlaw abortin. Ust as it outlaws many other activities.

Thanks Glock Rocks. I like to mention things that are new to me, thinking perhaps those things may be new to others also, and perhaps they may recognize them as something they missed during the reading.

I appreciate the note of agreement.

That factoid is incredible to me. I have always thought it was a tough call forcing a girl or woman to deliver the fruits of a rape, even if we were talking about a little human being.

Then there’s the mention of the factoid that women who have aborted their fetus conceived by rape, are four times more likely to die in the first year post abortion.

Good grief, these two factoids are devastating to the argument that rape victims should be allowed to abort their fetus.

I’m going to have to keep these things in mind, when folks raise this issue. It’s not information I’ve had in my intellectual arsenal before this.

More women should train and conceal or open carry.

How's that going to work? Does she practice drawing during a dream, or stand ready before she passes out?

Maybe she should never party and get drunk with a bunch of low-life rabid ejaculating animals. That way should she find herself in a dangerous one-on-one situation, she can either ward off or shoot the rapist.

In general, heaven forbid, maybe she should keep her pants on until she gets married.

No, obviously. The rapists should have gone to prison for lifeor been executed. The story came to light because the judge stipulated that the young woman not release the names of her rapists, which she did and was threatened with contempt.

K.

Re: It's the owner's decision whether they're wanted and it's also the owner's decision whether or not to leave them hanging there, or to rip up the whole plant and toss it in the compost heap.

" I guess that is an expression of your respect for the value of human life...except tomatoes aren't human"

If tomatoes aren't human, then why did you bring them up and refer to them as were human life?

"And whose skin cells are those?"

Oscar's.

"Do you not believe in the B"

No, just the A.

“It’s hell being born in the 50’s, and having a notion of ‘normal.’”

Yep, remember those old “despicable” shows like “Father Knows Best”, “Leave it to Beaver”, “The Nelsons”, and Lassie? LOL

Even shows like the “Lone Ranger” were instilling a decent values set in children.

And you know what, those shows infuriate some people. I don’t give a damn what color those folks were, they were great shows. I liked Amos and Andy too. Should I be trashing it now because it involved Blacks? Not gonna happen! It was a great slice of life.

I know where you’re coming from. I certainly agree.

"the judge stipulated that the young woman not release the names of her rapists, which she did and was threatened with contempt."

I'm glad she did that and no one, including the judge challenged her. The judge deserves to be removed and the perps should have received some significant time.

"You seem to have the position that only your ideas or position matters. A growing majority of adults disagree with you. Thank God, enough babies have been murdered",

I'm talking about what is essentially contraception here and in that sphere I know you are incorrect, especially the part about a woman ridding herself of unwanted near embryos and they being considered as "babies" and being "murdered". The same goes for embryos in a petri dish in an fertility clinic; it is not a pool of people.

Well they are a form of life, but according to your logic the tomatoes are not really tomatoes because they are still attached to an umbilical cord. Of course the tomatoes are indisputably tomatoes and alive either way...attached or not.

"And whose skin cells are those?"

Oscar's.

Aaaaaaaa....wrong answer. The cells belong exclusively to the baby, they define its individuality.

You did...take biology in Junior High did you not? Or did you flunk?

Killing a baby after it is conceived is not contraception.
