Yeah, it’s a damn travesty that it can’t live up to the shining examples of tolerance, inclusiveness, and diversity of thought that you find on DU, Daily Kos, Twitter, Facebook, Google, Instagram, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, 98% of college campuses, and the entire socialist democrat party as a whole. Just sad, isn’t it?

(Hank) won't respond to my question on abortion. i've asked why he thinks it's ok to convenience murder a baby merely because it doesn't have human intelligence yet. he says it's more like an animal and we find that it's ok to kill animals so, murder up homies
I HAVE answered this question ... repeatedly. You simply do not agree with the answer, so you pretend it has not been provided and return to your own nonsensical, circular arguments.
AGAIN. The vast majority of us agree that it is generally acceptable to kill animals and NOT generally acceptable to kill adult humans. To understand why one is acceptable and the other is not, we must determine what objective traits and characteristics separate one from the other.
“Life” is not that trait, because both are alive. Thus, it is a red herring..
“Heartbeat” is not that trait, because both have a heartbeat. Thus, it too is a red herring.
We can undertake the same analysis as to EACH objective trait posited by abortion opponents, and we will find that every one of them is shared by both humans and animals, except those who make a religious argument (which is inherently not susceptible to logical analysis) and those who simply say that humans are different because they are human. (Your variant is that humans have “personhood” from the instant of conception, which as you use the term is just another way of saying the same thing).
That is a circular argument and could be rejected for that reason alone. Yet it also fails because it fails to account for the possibility of non-human life which should also be afforded protection. (e.g. a shipload of intelligent aliens per Alien Nation or a tribe of intelligent porpoises that swims up to a Key West dock and starts conversing with the fishermen).
After years of analysis, I have reached the conclusion that “sapience” is the only logical and objective distinguishing trait, and that it should thus be the factor considered when determining whether the taking of a given life should be acceptable.
An early term fetus simply does not have sapience, and I reject the notion that its life has the same value as an organism that DOES have sapience. As to a later-term fetus, more progress towards full sapience has been made, and its interests should be balanced against the interests and burdens of the pregnant woman.
For a variety of reasons far beyond the scope of this short post, I have formed the belief that we should give a pregnant woman 16-20 weeks to exercise her rights and that convenience abortion should be precluded thereafter.
You reject this analysis for reasons that I see as being utterly illogical and subjective. Reduced to its essentials, you cling to the circular argument “Reeeee ... But it’s a PERSON ... reeeeeeee.” When asked to explain, you mumble something about a “personhood gap” with no explanation of what you think that term. might mean.
You are entitled to your opinion, regardless of how ill-reasoned I think it may be. But nothing requires me to continue discussing the matter with someone who is clearly incapable of any argument that is not inherently circular.
So, there you have it, AGAIN, for probably the tenth time. Do not continue to assert that I have not explained my views or the reasons for them. Hell, your own whiny post contained a simplistic (if biased) summary of my views.
You are lying to yourself, and you are lying to every poster who reads your words.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but you are the guy who memorizes a few technical terms, drops them randomly into conversation (often incorrectly), and thinks that doing so makes him erudite.

these people will actively ignore my direct responses to them. it's the most childish thing ever. their views get challenged and they can't handle it
I made an exception for this one post. Rest assured that I will now revert to my original policy.

If I had your policy, then my interaction with "left-leaning" posters would virtually disappear.
Honestly, for the most part, it wouldn't matter. In my experience, the response from the left seems to be to
dismiss, deflect, and deny (and that is IF they respond at all). It is a sad example of the foot soldier mentality. I truly believe that some of our resident leftist's are DU regulars...and imho - it shows.

I will assume you think I am a “left-leaning” poster. Do you consider my post above to consist of “dismiss, deflect or deny?” Because I think it is damned substantive, for a short summary.

I don't assume anything about you. If you are in deflection, dismissal, or denial mode...then I would post it.
As for your take on abortion, my issue is that you seem to be forming a policy structure based on a demonstrating sentience. My take is that the basis for your acceptable time frame is based on incomplete data. Basically, if I have gathered correctly, you are stating that a human fetus, similar to other fetuses, is not sentient and therefore can be aborted based on your logical premise tied to a "lack of sentience." My take, why is future sentience not taken into account. A crawfish, a fish, and a cow have VERY little cognitive development over time, especially when compared to a human. Leaving that facet out of the equation seems shortsighted imho.

And remember. They have many techniques to shill and troll with. Concern trolls, astroturfing, and many more. Just be weary. We are fighting the good fight here. God bless.

Interesting point to discuss, but I do not want to derail this thread. Let’s remember to take it up on the next abortion thread.
In the meantime, sapience is a higher standard that sentience. If sentience were the standard, hundreds of species would arguably be safe, including several species that we regularly eat.
