Yes I do, because the impossibility of this has nothing to do with what science may or may not discover.

Watch: Give me a scenario in which science determines conclusively life begins at conception, or at any given point for that matter.

Probably not, but that's not what we're talking about in this thread. We're talking about important issues for both sides of the aisle.


For the side that supports abortion, the issue is settled. The only reason its an issue is because one side chooses to make an issue out of a closed case, so to speak.

quote:

Says who?


Says reality, one merely needs to be paying attention to note the vast difference in potential future legislation between abortion and gun control. No fewer than three pieces of major gun legislation have been passed at the national level in the last 10 years. Abortion details are handled almost entirely at the state level with legislation very minimal in scope.

Abortion is an issue where you're always going to have diametrically opposed viewpoints. This is because some people favor the right of themsleves and of other people to choose, and some people favor the imposition of their moral view upon everybody.

I say this as an immigrant. It really is amazing that in this day and age this is such an issue here.

And unlike gun rights where federal law provides a baseline, there are now entire states where legislative efforts to circumvent roe v wade suceeded by making abortion unavailable instead of illegal.
