The sense of desperation is in the air. The long-discredited media machine is working overtime trying to churn out propaganda, but it ends up being ci...

They either deserve to live or deserve to die. The one who seeks to eviscerate the child must face this question, or he has no sense of justice. Every...

I don’t think all humans deserve to live. It’s less a matter of sentiment and more a matter of justice. Two unjust conclusions have been made about th...

That’s false. He explicitly asked them to investigate illegal voting. You keep repeating the one phrase his enemies do, but leave out the rest of the ...

Tell that to the vast majority of parents who have children, that the child they have created and are carrying is morally insignificant and it doesn’t...

I understand the position. A human-in-utero is morally insignificant. I just don’t understand how one can reach that conclusion. I suppose his worth m...

Plant ethics. Sure. But we’re talking about the killing of a human being.

There is a “should” for the one committing the act of killing. Should I or should I not take this course of action? But I appreciate the honesty.

Assuming that no one is forcing the mother to carry the child, and everyone believes it is wrong to intervene, should she or should she not kill her c...

But you think it’s right so long as the mother desires it, up until and including species extinction. I was trying to test your intuition of whether t...

It doesn't follow that it is right to kill zygotes. It wouldn't kill you because you weren't born at that time. It would just kill your mother. Her mo...

No, I think killing a human being in its zygote stage is wrong because he doesn't deserve it. I was trying to appeal to your utilitarianism. If you co...

Refusing to procreate doesn't involve the act of killing.

But it would mean the end of the species.

Is it morally permissible to kill all zygotes then?

I don’t care about flies and am at constant war with them. It’s wrong to kill a human being when he doesn’t deserve it. Flies deserve it in virtue of ...

Flies don’t develop into human beings. If they are out of the womb they are already dead. Convenient.

All of which are biological. Isn’t that convenient. Remove the one act under discussion from the argument entirely. Recall that it is the abortionist ...

You believe there are just two sets of genes swimming around in there? To kill a zygote you abort it. Go give abortions.

Try it with the human zygotes still in their mother, where they are generally found. For some reason you removed the mother entirely.

This is a misrepresentation. I never said nor implied biology was equal to or less than genetics.

And you think corpses are food. Articulation is one thing, bad ideas are another.

That's because you haven't read the transcript of that call. That's the going rate, and you're in good company, but it's wrong. It's been misconstrued...

I doubt that if she asked a governor to find illegal voting and contested an election you would call it evil.

The capacity for human beings to acquire a language at some point of their lives is measurable and apparent. Humans are aware of and can understand la...

He contested an election, wanted the governor to find illegal votes, led a protest. If Biden or Kamala did that he’d be a hero.

One candidate’s administration is going after their political opponent with the DOJ and abusing the law in order to influence an election. That’s anti...

How many federal employees does it take to remove a log? https://twitter.com/cbp/status/1847027336324985169?s=46&t=IakyLvDoU1iHVTU4X-LNfg

The most damning thing from the trove of evidence corruptly released just weeks before the election was that Trump sipped Diet Coke. What a Hitler. Do...

That’s right. Thank you. It’s the easiest assumption to make. I haven’t contradicted myself, or at least you have not shown it. I already said, no, I ...

Humans have the capacity to speak a language at some point in their lives.

Is he some other species? I’d love to hear that argument.

Now it’s a human person. First it was a human being, then it was a human animal, next it’s a human person.

A severed limb is not an animal by virtue of it being a part of an animal, which for some reason you never quoted nor addressed before accusing me of ...

It is an animal. Severed limbs are not animals. Gametes are not animals. Those are parts of animals. Being a human animal is all that is required to b...

I’m saying that a zygote is the earliest stages of a human being’s life. It doesn’t turn into something else. We can identify him as a human being sim...

Your normative is teleprompters, celebrities, and slick marketing. Let’s hope it goes the way of the dodo bird.

It isn’t. It does not have any means of reproducing, is not predisposed to functioning on its own, has no metabolism, etc. etc. etc. Given the diversi...

A placenta is an organ of a living thing. They were the same thing at an earlier stage in their development. It is no contradiction if C splits into A...

Basically any living thing. Sure it does. The facts indicate that they were both the same zygote. And no human being was every a eukaryotic cell conta...

A placenta isn't a living organism. It's an organ. But yes, an individual zygote can split into two individuals. It's why identical twins are identica...

Uh oh, here's another one: https://twitter.com/KamalaHarris/status/1846228061173256714

These arguments are becoming increasingly convoluted. I'm having trouble understanding them. Both human zygotes and human embryos are phases or stages...

I appreciate the explainer and I apologize for the confusion. But you're speaking as if placentas, hearts, and lungs were disembodied, as if zygotes d...

I understand your assertion, I just don't follow your reasoning. "All placentas and hearts and lungs were zygotes," therefor, "That a human was zygote...

I've read it again carefully and I don't follow it.

Your reasoning is "Parts of X were A, therefor A isn't X." Flawed doesn't even begin to explain it.

Placentas and hearts were zygotes? I don't follow. The fact zygotes develop human organs seems to me to suggest that they are human, not something els...

All human being were zygotes. That is irrefutable.

I’m sure you can figure that out. But if you go watch one, or look in the mirror, you’ll notice they’re not placentas and hearts.
