No,pro life I say. If we abort all the babies,then what's left to sacrifice? Virgins? Yeah,good fucking luck with that one...

Bah! Why is innocence so important anyway? I think a nice plump Wall Street broker would be a much better offering. Of maybe a Christian priest, that would be fun at least.

Because the blood of an innocent,as opposed to one who's already Hellbound(in most instances,the priest included) pleases Him even more. The more He is pleased,the more abundant His blessings.

OK fine, I'll give you that. But. I still think my idea is more fun

So couldn't we start from there for determining when life starts? Heartbeat in a fetus is pretty early, around 8 weeks or so. Brain activity is quite a bit later, usually around 24-27 weeks, which is basically the start of the third trimester. So that's a pretty good line for when life is considered to start. I think I'd probably be ok with that compromise.

It'll never work, because your premise is far too well thought out and based on something that can be defined and also tested. Fail.

On a side note, I find that I agree with almost 100% of your posts on anything political, social, or delay related.

I feel that all militant anti-abortionist men should be raped.

I feel that all militant man-hating women who are hot and know they want it but still say no just to be a bitch should be raped.


Also i support abortion because i hate children. And rednecks. And redneck children who stand in my way at best buy.

Not as easy, and not as well-thought out as you might think.
Isolated heart cells in a petri dish will start to pulsate on their own and no-one is going to say they're a living human being.
You'd also have to get into the question of what type of brain activity are you going to measure? (You'd even have to get into at what stage in development do you have a brain? When there is a recognisable ectoderm? At the neural plate stage (and when exactly does that start)? Neural groove? Neural fold? Neural tube? Wait tile the neuropores form? You want to wait until all three of the primary brain vesicles form? Or just one? Or two? (and when exactly is that?). Or wait til you have a telencephalon? mesencephalon? rhombencephalon? Axon outgrowth? Before or after synapse formation? Which synapse(s)? And why? Myelination? None of this is easy in nematodes or flies (except myelination -- insects don't do it) let alone human embryos.
And you'll always have dissenters anyway basing their ideas off things people wrote down when they still through the world was flat, at the centre of the universe, and disease was caused by demonic possession.

Anyway, if you want to keep the population in check, there's always the Logan's Run solution
