Re: Abortion
Tucker Carlson just reported that the Democrats at the state of the Union address last night were not worrying American flag pins. instead, they were worrying pins that say the word "abortion" , with a heart replacing the o' s. Not all Democrats, but Senator Ed Markey (D MA) wore such a pin. The pi...
On definitions of bigotry
It is obvious that the people on this thread are characterized by a combination of anti-Catholic bigotry and a desire to be able to rut like animals without being responsible for the babies they are creating. Maybe it is OK to hate child abusers and their protectors. Maybe it is OK to hate those th...

It is obvious that the people on this thread are characterized by a combination of anti-Catholic bigotry and a desire to be able to rut like animals without being responsible for the babies they are creating.

Sapient
BB, the growth of a human from zygote to maturity is a continuous, not discrete, process. You are almost identical day to day, but much different decade to decade. A zygote is pre-sapient (on a timescale of years) just as you are repeatedly pre-sapient (on a timescale of hours) each night. Murderin...
Oppression
Guest BLM is not a religion. There is no supernatural force to worship. It is a effort of one group to escape the control of another group, like Ukraine, like the pro life women, like the Muslim migrants to Europe, like stopping the fascist invasions, like stopping the slaveholders, like achieving i...
Re: Abortion
Prove that a fetus is not sapient. Obviously you don't care about humanity. And as for religious, I gave you a link with five arguments OUTSIDE of religion against abortion.

Re: Abortion
Again, the religious fanatics are being allowed to practice their beliefs. There is no attempt to change their culture. A fetus is not sapient. You have yet to identify a property of sapience or humanity which a fetus has. The fetus is a fetal human, that is the property of humanity it has...humann...

The religious inflexibility which John’s mother represents is becoming less popular. In issues like prejudice, conquest and abortion, the controlling other’s cultur...

Controlling other cultures
In the abortion thread, I recently characterized the issues of prejudice, conquest and abortion as the bad guys trying to impose their culture on their victims. This does simplify things, combining some issues of the crisis into one. This got me thinking. Could you look at the issues of the three pr...
Liar Tom?
And again, slaveholders and religious fanatics are trying to change other's culture against their will. Women and slaves are not. They are the victims. We are beginning to repeat ourselves. Argumentum ad nauseam is starting to come up. If you keep on saying the same thing over and over, that does n...
