Sounds like a fail attempt at an analogy. The white population's lives were never even at the tinies risk of being ruined by blacks being freed.

 

Your criticizing the example, not the analogy.  And if the white's were at some risk of having their lives ruined by the black's freedom, would that have justified the slavery (not that I would consider most (if any) people live's would be ruined by their baby, when they could just give it up for adoption in the most extreme cases)?

 

Yes, if it's proven they would harm disasterously the life of the others. More problems in your example. Half of the population? Half the population is women yes but not everyone will get pregnant, and even less will have an abortion. Your example is just bad through and through.

Again you are equating a fetus to a born human. HUGE difference between the two there. Until a fetus does something to differentiate itself from that of a dog or a cat or another mammal in general, then it's not human.

So, you're allowed to ruin or end the life of one person if it makes another person's life better?

 "Half of the population? Half the population is women yes but not everyone will get pregnant, and even less will have an abortion".  What does this have to do with anything?  Rath and I were discussing the groups that support and oppose abortion, which, according to this Gallup poll, are about half-and-half.

"Again you are equating a fetus to a born human. HUGE difference between the two there. Until a fetus does something to differentiate itself from that of a dog or a cat or another mammal in general, then it's not human".

I'll assume this in respose to my other post.  I'm not really sure what it is you mean in your second sentence.  Do you mean  differentiate itself from the fetus of a dog or cat?  If so, there's a huge genetic difference, so that's one way already.

Alas! I must be off to work, so I won't be responding for a while.
