If you asked them, they would be pro baby killing as a matter of policy, regardless of religious teachings. The Abrahamic religions have actual books that tell you what it means to be a Jew, a Christian or a Muslim. People adapt these titles even when they reject core beliefs of the religion. It’s like feminists who also say they are Muslim. The obvious contradiction doesn’t even cause cognitive dissonance because they simply pick and choose what the religion means to them. Exactly.....whereas if you weren't picking and chosing and actually keeping to the core beliefs, you'd be out there claiming that a serial adulterer is your saviour

Some do purposely, most don’t even know they are eating them. The smaller the farm you get your eggs from, the higher chance of getting one. If there is a rooster around, some are gonna be fertilized, but most eggs are gathered before they have a chance to develop.
July 29, 20241 yr Scientifically the difference between an unfertilized egg and a fertilized one is just one necessary step in the development process. In humans, I fail to see the necessity to legally treat a fertilized egg as "fully human" when it's really just a small step towards being human. A necessary step sure, but every step in the process is necessary. Ovulation, fertilization, embryo attachment, etc. An embryo doesn't remotely resemble anything we'd recognize as "human" for quite a while after fertilization.

Fertilization is, scientifically, the first step in a human life. You can parse words all you want and it doesn't change that fact. Any other line you want to draw in the process is totally arbitrary and only convenient for discussions of abortion You really think your mother's ovulation was a part of your development as a human??? Nonsense.

This is a question of when that life is granted rights. Right now, the clear cut line is when that life is born. If you want to move that line back to conception, are you ready to give a fetus the same rights as a breathing human? Maybe issue a fertilization certificate? Give them a SSN, life insurance?
July 29, 20241 yr Life begins at birth. Before that, there is no life. Not to mention the embryo is fully dependent on the life and health of the mother.

Oh so now it's not a question of science. When it's no longer convenient for you all to crow about "trusting the science" now it's about something else. And what you said is not true because if an unborn child is killed then there is usually a legal penalty, correct? All I'm advocating for is a right to life. No other rights are needed. But it seems all you want to do is convolute the issue and you can't get past the very first step which is acknowledging that human life biologically begins at conception.

This is the dumbest thing I've read today but it's still early. Clearly you don't have children. Again, even newborn babies are fully dependent on others to survive. All of your arguments are horribly wrong. Abortion up to the instant of birth is evil and disgusting.

Maga loves the abortions up to the instant of birth claim, yet there is no evidence that this actually occurs. If it does, it's rare and involves the health of the mother. Something you don't give a crap about. So I'd say that's stupidest thing I have read today. Congrats to you.

You literally just said before birth there is no life. What does that imply?

July 29, 20241 yr IMO, Life requires consciousness of thought. There is no consciousness inside the womb. None of us have memories of being in the womb because we don't have consciousness of thought. Thus, a fetus in the womb is not a life. It is not self aware. There is no private thought, imagination or volition. There is no wakefulness until birth. A fetus does not see light until birth.

There's a reason we celebrate birthdays and mark them as how long you have been alive. There is no celebration for fetus viability day or heartbeat day or zygote day.

"Wakefulness"?? Stop making this up as you go. You're clueless.

Next time I see a baby shower or gender reveal party I'll remind them that it's not a big deal, that human life inside of you is nothing special.
July 29, 20241 yr Liberals go from "just be nice, live and let live, and stuff" to Josef Mengele instantaneously when it comes to abortion
