Ad hominem.

You think it's okay to kill something as long as it can't tell you that it wants to live, as long as it can't make you feel guilty for causing it physical pain and ending it's life.
I also hunt animals. I'm sure PETA wants to see me in jail as much as you. Different groups have different sets of morals. Do you know that many muslim countries would have you stoned for getting pregnant outside of wedlock? Do you know how many millions of people would like to see you stoned? Take this into consideration while you try to pass judgement on me.

You are like everyone else who shares your mindset; endlessly selfish and cowardly.
Ad hominem. Arguments not insults.

Furthermore, you have yet to give me a convincing argument that a fetus is not a person.
I'm sorry but you are not here to be convinced. You have made your choice which is deeply influenced by your past experience. There's no way that some dude on the internet is going to make your way of thinking do a 180˚ in a few hours.

You cannot even define, in the world according to you, what makes a person a person. Is it age? Mental capability? The ability to retain memories? The ability to conversate? Is it having worthwhile (according to you, OF COURSE since you make the rules) interactions with people?
I have done so numerous times. The fact that you don't agree with my definition of a person doesn't change my perception of one. What is your definition of a person? Is a zygote a person?

I can find people who are unable to do all of these things. So, why can't I chop them up and throw them away? Give me an answer.
Never will you find, no matter how lame or disabled, a person with less experience or personal interaction than a fetus. Like I said, I draw the line somewhere, at birth. No matter how insignificant, after birth you have lived an experience or directly affected another human being.

As for my emotions...well, this is a subject pretty close to my heart, so you'll have to excuse me if I get a little revved up. I am very aware that I can do what I want and make my own choices. So can you, and never have you seen me say that I think the best choice is to make abortion illegal. That's not what this thread is about.
Clearly you are not acting impartially and trying to collect data. You are pushing an agenda and are hostile to those that don't share your mindset. Are you trying to understand why we think abortion is OK or are you trying to attack our way of thinking?

I want to know people's opinions and how they have formed them in their minds. I also want to see how they defend those opinions. So far, you are very disappointing.
So what are you going to do with that 16 year old that got an abortion? Fine, prison, death penalty?
