I reject of all religions based on books that claim to contain the revealed word of God; Including all religious dogma and demagogy; I believe that miracles, prophecies and religious "mysteries" are falsehoods. God exists, created and governs the universe or is the universe. God gave all life the ability to reason. The universe is full of living planets like ours.
That's how you handle religious and moral concepts that you just don't want to hear. That's how you handle religious and moral concepts that run counter to your permissive, secular views and lifestyle. You demonize and demean them.
I would expect no less from an anti-religious bigot like you, Bob. Or should I say, no more.
It's entirely unreasonable to assume that an unborn child is part of the mother's body. That's because pregnant women do not have two hearts, two brains, two blood types, or two sets of DNA.
And yet, this is the unreasonable assumption that the so-called Champion of Reason Secularists generally support.
Meanwhile, it's generally us "religious folks" who adopt the view -- which is entirely supported by reason and science -- that an unborn child is not part of the mother's body, but is rather an entirely separate body. An entirely separate human being.
The so-called "reasonable" secularists, generally, are the ones trying to sell us on the idea that pregnant women have two hearts and two sets of DNA.
You can't seriously position yourselves as the "champions of reason" when your side, with few exceptions, adopts such an irrational and unscientific view.
I've never seen anyone say that a pregnant woman has 2 hearts, etc. So, I reject your primary premise, which means that the rest of your "argument" doesn't get off the ground.
Furthermore, I reject the ground you choose to base your argument on. The question, as posed, has NOTHING to do with abortions, so you've set up a straw man, and you can dance with it all by yourself.
NO
But let me provide you with a fact. Thursday, the Supreme Court is going to tell us if Obama's signature legislation gets tossed in the garbage dump. You could also describe it as; gets flushed down the toilet.
Pelosi said; you will find out what’s in it after it has passed. The American people didn’t like it and we will have to see on Thursday what the Court thinks.
Personally I would rather stand with thinkers like Saint Augustine, Saint Thomas More, René Descartes ( Cogito ergo sum -- I think, therefore I am) and Edmund Burke. than Thomas Jefferson
