Is a fetus a Human being?

[Machjo]

Perhaps. But change tradition? Whatever for? Just to be technically accurate?

We'll call it a conception day.

 

[gerryh]

it boils down to this.....those that advocate abortion will forever refuse to acknowledge a "fetus" to be "human" as that would mean that they are advocating the killing of a baby. As long as the "fetus" is not "human" than they can justify in their minds the killing and the support thereof.

On a serious note, in Korea a person is considered 1 year old at birth.

 

[Machjo]

And just a point for SJP. Pro-life is not a uniquely right-wing thing either. The religious left has sometimes opposed it too. Jimmy Carter opposed it and only backed off in the face of pressure.

I can see celebrating a 1 year anniversary after 3 months, but how do they arrive at a year at birth? Do Korean women hang onto their kids for an extra 3 months?

I thin it's more traditional than scientific there.

That would be good. Or could be Meiosis Day. Has a nice ring to it.

That just gets them into the army faster.

Good conception to you.
Good conception to you.
Good conception my dear friend.
Good conception to you.

Hmmm... nah, I think we'd have to scrap the Happy Birthday medoly and come up with another melody.

 

[AnnaG]

There's a tune that Tegan and Sara sing that'd work I think. I can't remember the title, though.

 

[Kreskin]

If we changed it to Fornication Day we could have many new tunes. Might revive the music industry.

 

[Machjo]

You'd been conceived,
have since been received,
and have never been deceived,
just as we had always perceived.

Hmmm...

Still needs a bit of work.

Ultimately it is a person's right to decide things concerning their own body. We have societal standrads however, that demand that we take responsibilities for having that right; especially if it involves the welfare of other people.

OK, now we are starting to get somewhere, now if the last two words were changed to "other entities"?

 

[Kreskin]

This could be a good birthday song:
YouTube - The Asshole Song By Jimmy Buffett

Hey, it's a first draft. Give me a break. You do better then.

I was once nothing more than a twinkle in my father's eye. Now look what I've become.

When a sperm enters the egg we have the beginnings of a human being and a new life has begun to grow. Interrupting that life by abortion or other means is tentamount to murder, in my mind. The fetus is not viable at the early stages of pregnancy but it does have the potential to become a fully functioning human being. By terminating pregnancy at any stage you have tampered with the natural order of life.
