The Abortion Debate Containment Thread - Put abortion sperging here.

I ignore them because they should be ignored.
In which case, you're only interested in morality theory rather than its application, which renders any moral stance you profess at the apex of uselessness. You make proclamations while actively avoiding discussing their implications and practical consequences, as if people aren't actually living these experiences.

Yes, because he has not murdered anyone.
In this scenario, he consigned both wife and child to death despite the fact that he had the means to at least save the wife. Whereas the child is his responsibility on account of him being responsible for his conception as well as him being his flesh and blood, the wife is also necessarily his responsibility on account of his marriage to her and his position in the household. This clearly isn't an ideal situation at all, and either way, there's blood on his hands (well, both husband's and wife's), but would you suggest that failing in responsibility to both wife and child is substantially better than failing in responsibility to only the child?
Stem cell research saves lives.
Not if it comes at the cost of destroyed embryos, obviously. Of course, this is ostensibly not a problem since stem cells supposedly are harvested from after-birth products such as the umbilical cord, and there's research being done to synthesize stem cells in order to evade the ethical issues altogether.

You're not "pro-life".
You're not "pro-choice".

I just told you the practical application: Don't murder your baby.
and either way, there's blood on his hands
Incorrect.

Cancer patients are more important than embryos. Especially embryos that won't be used.
You're not "pro-choice".
Blobs of cells don't have rights. Deal with it.
Embryonic stem cells cause tumors called teratomas. Other types of stem cells, such as placental stem cells, show medical promise without forming teratomas and without being harvested from embryos.

The benefits of embryonic stem cells still outweigh the risks.
 
Obviously not what I meant.
What did you mean? I am very interested in the practical application of morality, but that practical application should ignore any sort of utilitarianism or pragmatism. Don't murder your baby, no excuses, no exceptions, do not pass go, do not collect 200$.
Cancer patients are more important than embryos.
No one is more important than anyone else.
 
Stem cell research saves lives. Why would you be against that? You're not "pro-life".
Making non-medical late abortions illegal is a choice. Why would you be against that? You're not "pro-choice".

The Debate of Abortion is between the Christians and everyone else. Abortion is a example of the divide between the religious Right Wing and the non Religious right wing. In Poland the clergy took controll of the state is is forcing polices like banning Abortion that we debate in the United States.
If that were the case, these maps would look more like each other:

I see lots of benefits listed in the "pros" list for adult and induced pluripotent stem cells that are not embryonic stem cells. I see embryonic stem cells listed quite a bit in the "cons" list.
The cons for adult stem cells seem to be that they're harder to produce and probably more expensive because of it. The cons for embryonic baby stem cells are definitely more in the "can kill you horribly" area of disadvantage. That and the baby-murder.
 
Evil may never be done so that good results from it.
You people make me want to stack Evil on Top of Evil because it's not evil to me. I feel like god officially hates me. Starting to make sense now. He can't stop the evolution of his subjects.
 
Totally starting to trail off here but I was thinking that things like Rent and Food prices play into the well being of individuals overall. For me I would advocate a intervention into the market to modify to uplift the health of the People. Assuming with your no you believe that meddling with commodity affordability would be worse? I don't want to live in a rented cage like people do in Hong Kong.

If I go to saudi arabia, they consider things evil that I think are not. I might not participate in considering some things evil. But then why would I start to do other evils on top of that, evils that I agree are evil? Wouldn't that be an unnecessarily spiteful and childish response? That's how it seems to me.

Bitch I am going to be using stem-cells to warp the temple of God into a lovecraftian monster. You will call me the Devil!
