- An interesting position paper.
-
- p1: cancer cells are also determined in their growth rate by their
- genetic information.... unlike a z/e/f which is determined in its
- growth rate by its genetic information.....
-
- p2: The Stark Irony of the 'alledged' ProLife position when it
- comes to the fact that it wishes to establish as law that which
- science will not support. I refer person to the whole of the
- ongoing debate about In Vitro Fertilization, and the fact that
- not all of the Persons_In_A_Petri_DISH are implanted, and that
- these Persons_In_A_Petri_DISH are then BRUTALLY MURDERED OFF by
- medical technicians as 'medical waste.'
-
- p2.1: Either the Person from Conception argument holds,
- and said medical personnel are in point of FACT murders.
- And the SCREAMING SCILENCE of the 'ProLife' faction in this
- are Prove that they have begun in themselves the far worse
- form of 'dehumanization' as they can NOT LIVE with their
- own alledged 'beliefs.'
-
- p2.2: the Underlying Fantasy of Persons from Conception
- is merely a romantic hope, and is Known to be Blatantly False.
-
- p3: the more amusing subtext of the 'thou shall not kill' gambitry
- is also pleasantly amusing.... for long and involved reasons, some
- of which were addressed. { we shall skip over the hand ringing of
- the trendy folks about the matter of actually sending in the US
- Marines into Somalia to save the starving children, as clearly that
- direction leads to a Hornet's nest of Moral Complications, especially
- when one holds to the INVIOLATE INTRINSIC MORAL VALUE OF ALL HUMAN LIFE. }
-
- p4: Now, if Folks were to center their Arguments upon preventing
- the NEED for abortions, and not on Outlawing them as some mystical
- Means of Winning the War on Drugs^H^H^H^HAbortions, we might see
- that as a meaningful step towards a solution.
-
- Maintaining Mutually Refuting Positions, from the same poster,
- and trying to say that this self refuting position should be law,
- is, to say the least, not something likely to win votes....
-
- Unless of course, one has already abandoned reasoning as a basis
- of civil law, and wishes to establish a Theocracy.
-
- p5: given the flagrant abuses of the bible by the alledged
- 'ProLifers' has also not warmed the cockles of those of us
- who FEAR the imposition of even an Isreali Style Theocracy.
-
- Have we thus been able to communicate?
-
- I fear FASCISM! And the proLifers have not given me any
- sense of certainty that their faction, if allowed to
- dominate will be willing to maintain liberty and justice
- for all.... Especially for the Born Persons who are
- actually already here.
