There's no debate before birth as to whether the child is a separate human life - the debate is over granting personhood (the guaranteeing of rights) to them.
There is also a small minority of people (like Peter Singer) who do believe that "senti...
That's your view. However, targeting a life because they have Down's Syndrome (as was stated) is essentially bigotry against those who have it.
Condoms are readily available as is in most areas of the US; they are just not used in a large number of sexual encounters. Some people refuse to wear them, and others just don't like the feeling.
In addition, I think money would be better spent ...
A fertilized egg (zygote) contains the necessary DNA to be considered a separate human life. A sperm or an egg alone do not. Its not a religious viewpoint.
Your link to wikipedia backs up what I said - the life cycle of a human being begins at th...
If you had a first trimester abortion, you most likely had an aspiration procedure, which is exactly what Dr. Nathanson shows in the video. The technology for aborting hasn't changed much in the past 20 years.
The pre-birth "child" is a unique human life. Your political stance doesn't want it to be, though.
Technically, because Down's Syndrome is a genetic condition, environmental and behavioral factors have (so far) not been shown to influence conceiving a child with DS.
Well if non-religious people got their act together and took care of things themselves, it wouldn't be an issue, would it? If it comes down to help from a nun or no help at all, I don't think there really is an option. Its alright to discuss these...
They're relating each sperm and each egg as a human life. They may be alive, but they are not a separate, unique human being (which is who/what pro-lifers are making the case for). Its either a mistake, a misunderstanding, or an attempt to distrac...
Yes, but I would think more so with those who are actually profiting off of it (including the "creative class" members who actively prop up such a system of profit), and not those who make up the bulk of the Catholic Church (or other similar relig...
What do you have against people with Down's Syndrome?
So helping individuals survive poverty is bad? Whoever wrote this rambling screed shows both a misunderstanding of what biological life actually is AND a callous heart towards the "least of these."
The total population numbers are not what will c...
Thank you for posting this!
The act of violent death exhibited in this video has spawned the largest social justice movement in American history. There's an interesting (short) film from the early 90s called "The Brutal Truth," showing the brutal...
Charlotte, thank you for sharing that statement from Mother Theresa, as well as your own experience. Are you familiar with Silent No More? They are an organization of post-abortive women who speak out about their negative experiences. They have se...
Both. That question is a diversion from the issue at hand, though.

me too, i still love dates covered in tahini though.
im confused. matt monarch swears by regular colonic hydrotherapy. its his no.1 raw tip, didn't think it could be dangerous but now it kind of makes sense. enemas seem much more natural in comparison.
I've heard great, great things about Living Light Culinary Arts Institute in Fort Bragg, CA. I know that isn't really in the Los Angeles area, but it's still in CA and I believe they provide students the option to stay in their 'Living Light Inn'....
The way I see it is that generally people who label themselves are confident of the path they have chosen while,also generally, people don't don't label aren't quite as sure if what they're following is the right way to go.
