OK
I'll agree to donate my kidney if you agree to ban abortion.
Deal?
Nah...I didnt think so.
Disingenuous intellectual dishonesty.
You waited two minutes to presume my answer? I was working in the garden. It is more important than you.
But no, that is a false dichotomy. The true if-then is that
if you donate your kidney, your bone marrow, and your blood, as well as support the homeless,
then I will stop thinking of you as a hypocrite.
You’re the one who says he cares so much about “defenseless human beings,” as if it is an objective moral, yet you don’t act like it.
I, on the other hand, do not consider zygotes to be persons, and so there is no hypocrisy in my support of the decision to terminate a pregnancy prior to the existence of a person with a working brain - the thing that makes them people.
You either don’t get that, or you choose to make a strawman. But I’ll make it clear for you.
- I do not believe that zygotes are human beings. The “being” part requires a functioning brain. A being that has not yet achieved cognition is not a person, and that is a good time to terminate a pregnancy, before the fetus achieves that personhood.
- You believe differently, and you wish to force your beliefs up my vagina.
- Moreover, even once the fetus does achieve personhood, there is no obligation for another person to risk their health for it - whether it is a fetus or a teenager. Most people will, at that point, choose to risk their lives for their offspring, and they have that right. But no one is obliged by law to donate their body.
You can regurgitate all the straw-man stories that your belief indoctrinate you with, and you can choose to never have an abortion yourself, but it is wrong for you to expect others to be beholden to your beliefs, and it is hypocritical of you to call yourself “pro-life” when you clearly do not care about lives, only fetuses.
