^"reasonability" is a fairly subjective concept, don't you think?
randerizer is correct that using the opinions of scientists is not a very persuasive argument, and certainly does not constitute a scientific argument.
it does, however, at least raise the...
now the logical progression of objectivism makes perfect sense! well, look on the bright side: she may have turned you into a newt, but at least you got better.
you missed my point. an abortion is not simply the removal of life support.
the overwhelming majority of society does not share your self-contradicting "objective" morality.
the answer to you question is in the question itself. what is the difference? "no or minimal hope of recovery"

spinoza,
quit being such a baby. nobody is trying to deny your right of free speech. i'm sure you ignore that which you deem to be nonsense whenever possible. don't criticize others for doing...
as tautologies go, "crap is crap" works pretty well around here sometimes. and most people don't mind being ignorant of crap.
i'm glad you agree.
i am more than tired of reading the same accusations from spinoza with nothing to back them up.
you are correct that the words "pro-choice" do not imply pro-abortion,...
