New unique DNA at conception. Left unhindered that life continues to grow. Stage of life doesn’t make a human less of a human.

Really simple. Now let’s hear your case against this. Try not to use the same arguments slave owners have used in the past.

Easy...in the eyes of the twisted law, personhood is conveyed in this case on whether the baby was wanted or not...

Do they though, in blue allowed abortion states? Or is it a separate type of charge specific to terminating somebody's fetus against their will, similar to if you shot their dog or blew their car up?

That's your interpretation of it, sure.

Unless it isn't?

Science and all that.

The biggest problem with this point for you, is that you wouldn't have been an abolitionist.

Can’t wait for you to explain this. Noticed in this entire thread you’ve explained nothing.

So...you think every zygote has unique DNA?

And you're going to lecture anyone about Muh Science...

Ok please explain scientifically how the fusion of human sperm and egg into a new zygote doesn’t produce new DNA in a new single cell.

This will be groundbreaking since it goes against all established embryology and biology. Very excited to hear your explanation. Still haven’t gotten a single explanation from you in this entire thread.

You have no idea how to follow a conversation, do you?

Just say yes or no. That will tell me everything I need to know.

Ok. The people of whatever state your hypo takes place in, via their elected representatives, made it so that abortion isn’t murder. That is why it’s not murder. Murder is what the law of whatever jurisdiction says it is.

It really is that simple.
For some reason, these people expect internal consistency in a legal code drafted by different people, at different times, with different motivations and agendas.

Fascinating.

I do remember some governor, could have been the VA governor before Youngkin who was on tape saying it should be legal to abort a child up to and including birth
Except for the fact that he said nothing of the sort. That is just the "spin" that your compatriots put on his real words.

He was talking about NOT undertaking heroic efforts to briefly extend the life of an infant born with some fatal defect, but instead providing palliative care and allowing the (doomed) child to die in peace.

And the idiots turned that into "post-birth abortion."

Generally those laws are pushed in place by prolife groups.



Not all (38 states) but many do...even in places like California.

men who want the child aborted shouldn't be legally required to provide for those children.....this has to at least make sense,
Only if you think that the policy considerations at issue are the same. They are not.

The policy consideration in the latter case is that the State (every single state that has addressed the issue, BTW) wants to be sure that both parents of a born child are obligated to contribute to the care of that child ... largely so that the STATE is not stuck paying the bill instead.

current Oregon abortion regulations. ......

The way the law seems to read is a child could be killed legally at 9 months while in the process of being birthed, in other words, the child is viable and full term.....but semantics. The child could be subject to lawful termination simply because of location.....30 minutes later and it's considered illegal? Seems pretty insane.
I've not reviewed the Oregon law specifically, but EVERY abortion law other than "absolute prohibition" draws SOME arbitrary "line" before which abortion is legal and after which it is not ... even the precious "heartbeat laws."

Sure, if you are correctly stating the law, the Oregon law seems awful, but not for the reason that you seem to cite ... arbitrariness.

I’ll keep this really basic for you since you still haven’t provided a single response to anything I’ve asked you. Straight from a really easy to follow source, Wikipedia:

quote:

A zygote /'za??go?t/ (from Ancient Greek ????t?? (zygotós) 'joined, yoked', from ?????? (zygoun) 'to join, to yoke')[1] is a eukaryotic cell formed by a fertilization event between two gametes. The zygote's genome is a combination of the DNA in each gamete, and contains all of the genetic information of a new individual organism.


You can try to reject science and spin it really hard and pretend this isn’t a new life at conception, but you’ll fail.

This is why you don't have a fricking clue, my dude.

It's odd how reluctant you are to give a yes or no answer to this question:

I'm wondering if you're smart enough to know why you shouldn't, or dumb enough to not know why you shouldn't.

The Socratic method assumes that the student is bright enough to eventually see the answer.

He is dug-in so deeply that he is NEVER going to get it on his own.
