The term "murdered babies" is used as an emotional hook by the (typically) religious fanatics that picket abortion clinics. Not helpful, IMO...

What do you suggest, lovingly terminated, cuddled to death with surgical instruments. I'm all ears/eyes.

If done post-partum, then the term makes sense. The further back in a pregnancy you go, the less sense it makes. The nutters apply it to abortion at any time whatsoever, which is why its use has the risk of tarring oneself with a rather unpleasant brush...

That is a cop out, If the mothers life is in danger the baby will die anyway so no argument there. In the case of rape the compassion argument that the victim should not suffer the trauma for another nine months so compassion applies. If there are psychological/mental heath reasons then compassion over rides the life of the fetus. Tough call but anything else is just murder.

It's not murder if it's not an independent life.

Jesus fucking Christ seriously. Lets wait a few months and check out that hypothesis shall we.

Bullshit, there is yet another thread about abortion in progress, and there are three or four idiot pro lifers posting in it. No censor in sight.

So it's hypothetical murder?.... Umm, ok.

I guess so, it's too bad you can't be there to shine the light of true righteousness on their black hearts.

I can I'm just doing it over here.

Good. Why don't you start a thread about it? Or better still, why don't you bump one of the over a dozen already existing ones on that topic? This one looks suitable.

How about this is a thread on Rationalskepiticism...

And so it is. Apologies for quoting the wrong post with mine. I meant to recommend resuming the discussion about abortion in one of the several already existing threads on the topic, and helpfully provided a link to one of them.

Glad to see you're not biased then.

Snip.

What's hypothetical about it?

[pErvinalia]

You said we have to wait a few months for it to be life. So it must be hypothetical murder.

Not bias, just relating facts: those pro lifers in that thread are idiots.

Yes, they're idiots, but at least they stand for something other than lying, smearing and spreading hatred and lies.

I'd take idiots over lying, freedom-hating fascist vermin any day of the week.

Obviously not me.

People like Scott392831293843294823, perhaps.

Meanwhile, let's interlude with the Officlal RatSkep Joke:

Q: What's the difference between RatSkep and a gang rape?
A: At gang rapes, the police don't usually stand round egging on the perpetrators.

Some ideas deserve to be raped. Most notably yours.

As long as the ideas are being raped, and not the person, all will be well...
