It can be maddening and baffling to engage in debate with left-wing activists. Their love of ad hominem arguments and non sequiturs would make a sophist blush. Their stated principles shift during an argument like a kaleidoscope. That doesn't even begin to take into account their shrieking rage and cosplay costumes.
Yet on the abortion question, all their histrionics are designed to obscure the one fundamental question that must be answered before any further discussion can take place: is the fetus a human person or is he/she not? If he is, he is entitled to all the protections all other human persons have.
As a young lawyer riding the circuit in Illinois, Abraham Lincoln was often an enigma to his colleagues. He seemed frequently to concede too many points to his opponent, yet he prevailed. His genius was to find the fundamental issue, then grab hold of it like a bulldog with a rag, refusing to let go or be distracted from it. Pro-lifers should adopt Lincoln's strategy and hold fast to it.
Almost all the arguments abortion advocates advance are rhetorical variations of Three-Card Monte. The aim is to draw your attention away from where the action really is. Though they have a full set of tools of distraction, there is a primary argument, usually accompanied by three smaller ones. Each of these is facilitated by a consistent sleight-of-hand trick.
The big distraction is to call abortion a woman's "right." This both misunderstands what a right is and misapplies it to the specific case. Under natural law theory (which is the basis of our Bill of Rights), all rights precede the existence of the state. Rights are endowed to each person by virtue of his existence — and the state has no authority over them.

In between, there is a human being with 42 chromosomes, an individual, distinct from the mother....protected by the mother....until it has grown enough to adapt to the world outside the mother's protective womb.

You would thinks so, but the leftists will agree that an abortion ends the life of a real human being. They cherish their right to kill freely over the humanity of the alive unborn ... who have been proven able to learn by at least the 24th week in their developing life, sixteen weeks before they are to be born. The evil is so deep in the leftists and liberals (read demon rat supporters) that they acknowledge what they are disenfranchising ... and they support the murder for convenience.
“In between” birth an death? We are discussing the alive sensing human beings BEFORE birth.
Don’t assume his fender… It’s Madam !!! Roflol
and what, specifically, is that “moment” of birth? We need a legal definition of it so we can start charging people with murder. It must be a specific “moment”, not some trimester garbage.
It is increasingly obvious that the slaughter of the unborn is a preface to the death of hundreds of millions in satisfaction of global, environmental principles.
Abortion is one tool. I
Injections of genetic bioweapons is another. II
Stand down in the face of incited violence is a third. III
War and its ultimate weapons are the final solution. IV
The four horses of the apocalypse are upon us.
None of this is by accident or beyond willful causation.
Satan is in control. Our abandonment of God has given the evil one authority over us.
Build your ark!
Ark? Hah! I’ve got flight passport! First transformed, then snatched up to meet the Lord in the air.
The article was wordy and jumbled. News flash. Life begins at conception. Everyone, yes, all seven billion of us, knows it. Freaks who support abortion are influenced by bad, spiritual forces beyond the control of freaks. Pity the freaks. They really are lost. Proof: they think abortion is fine.
One of the necessary prerequisites for genocide is the dehumanization of the victims, which is exactly what liberals do with the unborn.
Thank you ... but I was thinking more of a “legal” definition of the “moment”.
Margaret Sanger swept away black folks’ reqasoning, convincing them that the unborn are not huuman yet so killing alive sensing black unborn babies is not really DISENFRANCHISING THEM.
That would answer the question legally.
The only relevant question to ask all pro-choicers is this.....
DID YOU TELL BLACK AND POOR WOMEN THE TRUTH ABOUT THE RACISM OF THE ABORTION/BIRTH CONTROL MOVEMENT ????
THE BLACK CEO OF PLANNED PARENTHOOD ADMITTED TO THE WORLD THAT SANGER AND HER THUGS WERE RACIST...FOR YEARS....NEW YORK TIMES APRIL 17TH 2021 OP-ED PAGE.......
If you didn’t tell them the truth, they should have the right to sue you and all pro-chpicers for fraud, hate crimes and violence against women......
There is a simple 6 word question that shuts down any pro-abortion argument:
“Does abortion stop a beating heart?”
Every baby is a member of a family, a daughter or a son to a mother and a father, from conception forward.
The liberals don't care whether it's a human person or not. They want it dead.
