I think I'll try one more time, for the benefit of the very slow and the very obstinate. It isn't a matter of being convicted. It's a matter of being convicted with the inclusion of high resolution video clearly showing face and clothing that's produced as evidence, like the guy who killed the woman he followed into a store, her body found in the same dress and his very identifiable plaid shorts etc. being found with her blood on them and his face clearly seen as he followed her through the door of the store. Like the husband who killed his wife and when he left her body in the back of her car in the store parking lot chose that time to go into the store to buy dog food, clearly seen on video and time stamped to match the vehicle/body drop. That or DNA evidence confirmed by two independent labs. IOW, conviction with absolute, irrefutable, undeniable proof. Only then is capital punishment an option.
And if this brilliant idea that it's only a fetus is so great then why not make it both sides of the coin. Nine months before birth and nine months after to decide. After all, they only eat and **** anyway. I'm sorry but there isn't adequate verbiage to describe the stupidity and ignorance and insensitivity and cruelness of those supporting abortion. Killing an innocent life for convenience, well as mentioned, in that case let's make it convenient for another nine months. Or how about the first two years? How about any time beyond the 80th year as well? By then they are often back to only eating and ****ting anyway. Dumber than dirt doesn't nearly cover it.
If you disagree with me, fine - but do me the courtesy of refraining from patronizing and dismissing my opinions, or responding with such utter absurdities as the above.
A fetus is not a baby, period.
The [ever present] adjective "innocent" is wrong as well. Not because a fetus isn't, but because it's strictly to bring an emotional component [namely: guilt and/or shame] into the debate, and that is the surest sign of a losing argument. We don't make the best decisions [especially medical ones] based on emotion, or guilt.
Also: innocent people are killed every single day, without a peep of protest from the anti abortion people who incorrectly call themselves pro life. In fact, many actually applaud the deaths - how "stupid, ignorant, insensitive and cruel is THAT?! It's called 'collateral damage: when innocent [see, I can do it too] civilians, be they children, adults, elderly, or babes in their mothers' arms are killed [accidentally, but they're still DEAD] by the very same soldiers you so fervently support and thank.
But that's ok, because: Wesayso.
Innocent people can die, no problem. But terminate an unwanted pregnancy? You sneer about it being "for convenience", in spite of knowing absolutely nothing about a woman's reasons - as if that mattered at all. A woman's body is not your domain, to make decisions about. With or without a fetus inside, it's not your place, period.
