This conversation is disturbing. I'd rather not carry on

Possibly a baby. If your not comfortable caring out an abortion yourself, you probably shouldn't be defending it on the internet

You're now just trying not to see the truth. What rights does a fetus have? The right not to be killed for starters. It's based on their biology. It's...

Because in all reasonableness a fetus might be a human being, the mother has no abortion rights. This is as good an argument as you will find in philo...

First, the word female is a beautiful word. I don't see the problem there. Second, I actually supported Biden because the good of the whole community ...

You are the one claiming that motherhood starts at birth. I have a much more respectful and wholesome view of pregnancy. A pregnant women is a mother,...

Fetuses are know to laugh, cry, smile, and show other emotions. Sometimes they even touch themselves in some first primitive experience of sexuality. ...

I just finished reading the link. I hadn't read the book in awhile but that was one of my favorite parts of it. Thanks for the thread

You're a complete sophist dude, to put it kindly. Parental rights might be interpreted however the Supreme Court wants considering they consider the C...

This is a great subject. Some do say everything minus notta is from our choice, everything from our smells to our hair color. Those who believed skull...

Hegel believed the human side of someone can be known by their body but not that specific structures necessarily indicate a certain temperament

I don't know what you mean by "concluding necessity would be ok"

Suppose the Supreme Court said you can kill your born child before it can recognize itself and argued that self recognision is the test of personhood....

What do you mean

No, I think we can put to death a 30 year old if he wants to die and is in terminal pain. He is clearly human. You guys have no evidence that shows th...

Godel attempted to prove two things: 1) you can't prove that math is true and consistent 2) there are parts of math you can never prove from any group...

If they are in terminal pain, yes. But not for lesser reasons like abortions are usually for

I think it is common knowledge that Leibniz envisioned a machine that could prove everything in mathematics and logic. I don't know what work he wrote...

The If you read that carefully, he doesn't say that we can learn anything from the structure of the head but only from human expressions which show em...

Learn the facts. Fetuses might be babies and abortion might be murder

Thanks for the detailed response. The videos I've seen on Godel is the In Our Time one from philosophyoverdose and the ones from actualized.org, all o...

I've read that book twice. His final conclusion is that phrenology and physiognomy are false. He thinks the human is expressed in skull and face but t...

Present the argument that fetuses are for sure not humans. Since you cant, it's obvious that they might be human. Isn't it obvious that you don't kill...

Another example on this question is using tabacoo products. People spending money on their vapes is giving those companies more money to hook people. ...

The If you meant me as the OP, thank you. I am trying to learn through all this

All I am doing is giving a little money here and there which people make up their minds to use for bad purposes. My reasoning does satisfy me in this ...

What i was saying is that I don't think I have to stop eating animals even though i am against killing them (a fetus to me is a very noble animal) "If...

I mean by your taxes of course

In my life I can't worry about how my taxes are used or how my food choices effect others. People have vital space they need to live in. What I do is ...

I wanted to add that my choice to eat beef does allow someone to kill a beautiful innocent animal. But I see it like this. We pay taxes even though th...

People say "females have freedom to do porn or not". But many argue that females are different from men and will have sex when the really don't want t...

Pornography is demeaning to women many pro-choice women say. I agree that all sex work hurts females. Even watching porn is problematic because it's s...

Thomas Aquinas said that reason produces will although it is dependent on it. This is a deep concept. As a materialist, I believe matter can produce b...

My tablet, since you didn't like the multivariate argument, could have tipped the scales in favor of life. Saying it's God is as random as saying it's...

It seems obvious to me that women have the right to have sex but when the act is done abortion is a renaging on this act and putting it in the dumpste...

I'll say in conclusion, that I thought once I presented full reproductive license as I see it, that is, as ontologically-structurally selfish, people ...

The reality is that nothing is definite in philosophy, but if you look with paternal or maternal care to embryos and growing life in a human being, yo...

Then name something in philosophy that is certain

I recently read the first half of Teilhards book The Phenomena of Man. You might like it

I think the object of metaphysics is rather blurry. Plato said that numbers are not part of the forms because they are imperfect (is 4 big or small? h...

Murder makes us savages more than anything. I brought up Freud as a possible explanation for sexual freedom. If there is one thing humans are free abo...

I'm not for forcing anything belief in anybody. But there has to be some limit when it comes to taking life. Would you say "abortion" two weeks after ...

As for sex, I don't believe nature forces us to do these things. Freud for one thought our sexual choices were all made before we are 5 so everything ...

The father and the mother have the duty to defend the child and not decide for themselves when there is a child

You don't care because your not being paternal.

ANYTHING outside what science can measure could have been the force or factor to top the scales towards life. It could be that a puppy in a multivaria...

Design implies a designer. There doesn't have to be an intellect behind life, instead just some factor(s)

Also, a zygote even has its own DNA. I don't see how someone can in conscience take the chance and kill that. I don't even see how someone can support...

Men are required to raise children who otherwise would be aborted too. On the other hand women can abort a man's child without his consent. So the sit...

I am rather Gnostic when it comes to sex. I think generally it's a selfish act. Abortion is not just about babies. It's about people refusing to reach...
