Equating guns to leftists. Funny.

And if you compare the number of abortions to only those killed by guns who were children, the ratio is even more astounding. It is unconscionable that anyone would point at deaths due to gunshot as a rational for abortions. It boggles the mind that anyone would even think it let alone bring it up in this thread.

Sneaky asked, I answered.

Most fertilized eggs are not carried to term by natural processes. Should we hold a funeral every time this occurs? A fetus has not achieved personhood.

Yeah, and I suppose that was the best reply you could muster.

If a fertilized egg (a blastocyst actually) does not implant in the womb and is spontaneously aborted it occurs before becoming a fetus (which occurs at about 9 weeks.) But to you question … no, WE should not do anything. How a family chooses to deal with the loss of an offspring is entirely up to them. Many women who have miscarriages have a funeral for their dead baby, many don’t.

It’s just an interpretation problem on your part.

You arent getting the statement. Dozens of eggs never make it to the womb period. The body blocks them. It’s not a miscarriage. It’s not an abortion. It’s the body taking care of things naturally.

The law and pro life people are in direct conflict with a womans body

The point is most women are not even aware of all the times their body aborts fertilized eggs, yet society does not treat this as a tragedy. We clearly recognize that conception does not imply personhood. Unless, of course, Christians think all these fertilized eggs are in heaven or something.

The tragedy is when a woman deliberately kills her own child.

It’s fine to not like abortions, it’s a totally different thing to try to control what a person does with their internal body.

Why is it grasping at straws? If this is a person, then a woman’s body is a natural killing machine…and if you believe in heaven, then surely all these eggs are up there?

Individuals are capable of living outside of another person’s body.

Take it up with Biology. I believe in science.

That you have to ask is demonstration that you’ve lost your grip on rational discussion.

Take up your heaven question with God.

Biology and science have nothing to do with rights.

Science isn’t a belief system.

You understand that it’s irrational to think of a fertilized egg the same way we think about born persons, you are just evading.

Right. Science is fact. I believe the facts that science proves.

Biology unequivocally defines that a new human life begins at conception.

And yet YOU are the one calling for funerals for expelled fertilized eggs. And that’s why I said your argument is irrational.

Evading? I’m refusing to get stuck in the septic tank of the argument you are trying to make.

Not every fact has a link.
Good example: Pelosi is ugly.
Link?
Or:
Harvey Weinstein is a predator.
Link? No,unless you explore his pants.

No … it is not an interpretation, it is a cold hard fact. Since 1973 (R v. W) some 60 million unborn babies were killed. That number shadows the number of people murdered by all means and eclipses the number of children who died of gunshot over that same time period.

No, I got it perfectly and my post was entirely accurate.

That is not the point. What you are referring to is inherent to the natural function of a mammalian female body. And yet, if the mother is aware that it occurred, she is free (without interference from you or me) to deal with that loss as she sees fit.

But an abortion is NOT natural. It is done by a person intentionally to kill the life that is developing within its natural habitat. There is zero comparison between a spontaneous (natural) abortion or a miscarriage, and a medically induced (whether chemical or physical) miscarrage/abortion except that in each case a life is extinguished.
