Well no, I'm using the right argument. You are forcing me to do/not do something which can POTENTIALLY become a human and ruin a life or whatever. That's government controlling your body and quite frankly, very scary, far worse than any tax, gun law, or whatever.

If we're going down the "it will eventually feel and have feelings and be alive, etc." route. Then why don't you just outlaw masturbation and jacking off? Why don't you start giving taxes for funding on how to stop women from having their periods and perserving eggs? Sperm and eggs are all a potential humans in the future!

TYour earlier argument was about anti-abortionists advocating government controll over your body, which is untrue.

" You are forcing me to do/not do something which can POTENTIALLY become a human and ruin a life or whatever".

That isn't our position.  We think it is a human, right then, not potentially.

 

 

That thing is no more human than the sperm or egg that made it. Would you then support making masturbation illegal?

But you see that this is a different argument, yes? You originally were contending that anti-abortionists are advocating government control of over the body.  But now, you're arguing that a fetus isn't a human.  So, would you then agree that anti-abortionists are not necessarily pro-government body control?

And I would contend that it is more human than the sperm or egg.

 

 

 I thought vlad was referring to the body of the mother, not of the fetus.
