Quote from 2cents:
ok i'll oblige...
i'll apply 2 straightforward standards:
a. what happens inside a woman's body is her sole & only responsibility regardless of age.
That is OPINION and you provided zero evidence. And since you are foolish enough to try and supply your concept of universal truth, you should know even one contradiction (look up Proof by Contradiction in Math/CompSci) it is therefore able to dismiss your standard. Here are two:
a) Most under age women do NOT have this control. For example, required surgery, and abortion choices.
b) What is inside a woman's body is her SOLE responsibility? Women have lots of responsibilities external to her body. Try DRIVING, SHOPPING, WORKING, etc. etc.
----------------
b. any aggression against a pregnant women with intent to harm the fetus against her will is a severe crime, falls under extreme cruelty. in particular any physical aggression against a child-bearing girl by a parent for any reason whatsoever is a severe crime
You are writing this carefully to avoid making the distinction about abortion ending a human life. And again, you are floating opinion, which is a valueless standard. You have not been established as an authority. In fact, you are establishing yourself as a flyweight. No one punishes such a felon because it is to "harm the fetus against her will"
-------------
1. And what then, is wrong with aborting your husband? If he abuses her? If she gets tired of carrying her marriage "to term"?<i>
1. irrelevant. if you mean "murder" then you've got your answer. if you mean "divorce" then it don't see the problem... if it was an attempt at humor, try not to waste people's time...</i>
Irrelevant? A woman chooses to end a life. You are trying to redefine it to suit your opinion. Again, you make yourself the authority, but you have only authorized yourself as clueless. The example is totally relevant.
----------
2. What is wrong with aborting her "already-born" children if she gets tired of them? or doesn't want to have them? Or they don't listen?
<i>2. clearcut murder</i>
Not according to #4, and you again tailor the laws and your opinions to suit your arguments.
-------------
3. If a criminal shoots the woman in the stomach and kills the baby, why then does the law hold the shooter responsible for the baby's death? Why not the doctor who aborts?
<i>3. there is no baby there. just a developing organism inside one and only one sovereign human person. apply standards a. & b.</i>
How many women say " I am carrying a developing organism? They say, "I am carrying my husband's child" They say, "see, the baby kicked!" When is the last time that a parent said to their friends, "The developing organism is now 7 months old!"
-------------
4. If she aborts it 5 minutes before birth, is it abortion or murder? IF she suffocates it 5 minutes after birth, is it abortion or murder? Why or why not? Life begins at conception. There is nothing special about birth, except one starts sucking air instead of sucking juice through the placenta.
<i>4. apply a. before birth (show me instances of mothers aborting 5 minutes "before birth" please...). after birth, its murder. why this "arbirtrary" line? because free speech aside, no one should be allowed to "arbitrarily" legiferate nor issue fatwas nor any manner of religious "opinions" over what happens INSIDE someone's else body againt that person's will, moron!</i>
legiferate??? Your standards are YOUR standards, and I already demonstrated they are groundless as universal standards. You keep cobbling together a Rube Goldberg machine trying to create a patchwork that supports your positionj. IE, it is NOT supported. While you issue "fatwas" of what YOU think should happen, you whine about others "doing this."
---------------
5. If a 16 year old girl shot her mother, who was trying to kill her 2 year old brother, would it be self-defense? or her 5-minute old brother? or if her mother went after 5-minute-before-birth brother with a coat hangar?
<i>5. attempting to protect somebody else's life doesn't qualify as self-defense... in your latter case, there are only 2 persons involved, its pretty clear who the aggressor is. if you'd like to change that into: "or if her mother went after the girl's 5-minute-before-birth fetus with a coat hangar?", b. would apply</i>
Hopefully, you are not trying by tweezing semantics. YOu understood the point. There is no need to redefine.

While for yourself, one can have no brain and still be an idiot.
