But the seed has all the potentialities of becoming a tree, thus essentially a tree in development. Likewise starting at conception all the potentialities exist to become a baby, thus already a human in development.
My point exactly. It is a seed, not a tree. All it has is potential. You still would be wrong if you called it a tree. So you can't call a zygote or a blastocyst a human being. You have a developing human. You can't call a prepubescent kid an adult either. Well, not without being biologically incorrect.

Tell an expectant mother that the bump, that won't stop moving in her belly, doesn't exist. Man, was your last sentence ever dumb.

Athiesm is a religion.
Man, was your last sentence ever dumb.

Honestly, though, I find the motion presented to the House is quite reasonable: he's essentially asking that a committee study the matter of when life begins, which would naturally involve having to invite scientists too. I guess the NDP is scared stiff about that. If they had a little more confidence in science, the NDP would welcome this motion.
Yeah, let's blow wads of cash on something that's so utterly and extremely obvious to most people. You fund this "committee" and "study", I'll keep my dough and accept scientific opinion.

In the meantime, I'll stick with my opinion that no abortions should be performed unless there are serious health issues. I also think that the matter should be between the woman and her doctors, not religions, politicians, etc.

Once the seed is planted and starts growing then is is called a baby tree and one the seed is planted in the womb and starts growing it's a baby.

The pictures below of actually aborted babies do they look like a cyst?

Those look 'shopped. I can tell because of the fact that I've seen a lot of aborted fetuses in my day.

That and they are clearly made out of plastic.

Gotta agree Nif...look very plastic to me. Add in the fact that an aborted fetus is not removed whole and in 1 piece and definitely not saved or photographed and I believe we have some pro-lifer out there trying to pull a scam to influence people.

Yeah right

Glad you agree with me and Niflmir, definitely plastic!

Life started 3.7Ba ago and everything alive today (including human spunk and eggs) are all an extension of that original event.

I've been timed out for posting abortion pics. Seems the pro murder lobby on this board have weak stomachs and really don't like to acknowledge what they support.

Yes, an exact replica of a full term baby. NOT a fetus and most certainly not what a fetus looks like after an abortion. posting garbage like that as fact just makes your position look even sillier than it already is.
