the "sled test" will not be applicable to my analysis, given that three of the four "elements" of the S.L.E.D. mnemonic are completely absent from that analysis.

sigh. it only takes one mr. technicality. and you are failing. you haven't even addressed the point. go figure. in fact, you've argued that you shouldn't even have to bother acknowledging it because you're a closet nazi.

does it "fail" the test because it IS an analysis that is based largely upon the developmental level of the fetus? If the latter, your position simply categorizes my argument. It does NOT apply any objective test to that argument.

wow. no, it fails because you are justifying murder merely because the baby differs in level of development from other humans. that is NOT a valid reason to kill someone. that opens the slippery slope for all sorts of murder and you have failed to acknowledge the slippery slope but insist on telling me i need to debunk the sled test myself or that you shouldn't have to bother with it or what is it again?

Dude, you have not "refuted" anything.

if you can't tell that your position has been challenged, i can't help you. i refuted your brain activity assertion, your species comparison, your rights assertions, everything. otoh, i have asked you to substantiate your positions and you haven't. all you have done is to repeat them when faced with resistance or misuse terms you just googled.

give me one example. name one question i have failed to answer. quote it.

My 9-year-old daughter is clearly a person, and she is denied the right to vote. My cousin is 28 years old and is denied the right to run for President for the next seven years.

my word i have already refuted this statement but you keep wasting everyone's time. those are PRIVILEGES, not RIGHTS. they are CONTINGENT upon the right to LIVE. you are talking about something that is downstream.

Different rights vest at different developmental points

not the right to live. and that right does not get conferred because of a certain level of development. it is inherent at the moment of conception. if you disagree, prove it. prove that there is a time when a baby does not deserve the liberty of life. brain activity, heartbeat, mother's convenience, level of development all don't work. you've already tried them and they all failed.
