    Can we all agree ASTJer is missing the point?

    I don't think anyone posting on here, as a living lump of cells, would argue that any lump of cells doesn't matter. That's why pro-abortion is an incorrect adjective (semantically speaking). I can't say all, but most pro-choice people are exactly that. I want there to be zero abortions, because I don't want there to be a need for abortions, not for some smart-assed flippant hatred of cells (was that your point?).

    it's about having the right to do what you want with your own lump of cells. if your god is against that, he is more than welcome to punish me for it - i'll take my chances.
