- This MUST be a newbie.
-
- You've got a whole lot to learn, kid. First of all, questions about a
- soul, is irrelevant to the legal and logical aspects of this issue.
-
- But let me smash your reasoning here:
- Could there be no difference between the taking of the "life" of a
- human fetus and that of an animal one?
-
- Well, is there a difference between killing an adult human and an
- adult cow? In America, there is: one is of the HUMAN species and the
- other is not.
-
- Since we know the human fetus is a member of the human species (well,
- many pro-choicers tend to forget that, given that they continually
- mix & match human fetuses with monkeys & chimps), by scientific facts,
- it is a provable fact, and not a religious issue.
-
- And when the Supreme Court wakes up and realizes that scientific fact,
- legal abortion will begin seeing its days numbered.
-
- You're so new to this debate that you really WOULD believe the
- pro-choice movement's lies that all the pro-lifers' reasoning comes
- from religion. That's why I left the pro-choice movement - because
- they fed us bullshit lies like the stuff you're spewing onto this
- newsgroup.
-
- Go home, get a little older and a little wiser, and then come back
- with something that's halfway effective.
