Christ, do we need to have a class on the etymology of the two words? Please say no. I'd like to move on to more useful discussion.

You could come up with any secular reason for or against abortion because secularism denies an objective law giver (like God) and leaves each individual to define their own moral code. Those in power choose whatever arbitrary, subjective code that they think is best and enforce it on those under their authority. There is no objective right and wrong, just what works "best" for a given society as determined by those in power.
If you want a secular argument, consider evolutionary theory and how abortion should be forbidden for those who are the most fit in our society as they are removing the best humans from the gene pool.

I suppose we could just let you "properly" define everything in whatever way suits you.
Properly define ethics for me.

Well, the discussion is about the absence of morality, remember?

Why that limitation? What did I miss, other than that being the only chance you have at making a point?

The discussion is about their being a secular arguement against abortion. If you've made one in the thread I missed it. I assumed you were in the thread to simply argue about semantics...

Can we get an example of an argument against Murder, Rape, or Assault that is void of a moral component?
It might be helpful to have something other than vague theories to mull over.

Anyways, no, this was your first reply to me:

Keep up or tap out.

Eventually. Still getting everyone up to speed.

You really aren't required to be a complete a-hole 100% of the time. You realize that, right?

I'm not worried about it, but it's amusing when someone calls me out, then types out some frickery like that.

My point is that viability is the argument. If it is wrong to kill a human, and if there is no physical difference between a viable fetus and a human, then logic would follow that it would also be wrong to kill a viable fetus.

Yes, this is a choice.
