Abortion, should it be legal

[bla bla]

Sure it is.

That's a twisted viewpoint.

Humans are sentient creatures.

Should I be able to abort you while you sleep?

Foetuses are not sentient creatures.

[bla bla]

Foetuses are not sentient creatures.

Neither are you while you're asleep.

Should all people in a coma be slaughtered?

Do you understand what is meant by sentient?

And yes, I'm highly supportive of Euthanasia.

Foetuses are not sentient creatures.

And what, if I may ask, does sentience have to do with anything, hmmm?

From any biological or taxonomical textbook you'd care to look into -- a human fetus is a human being simply because it is an organism that possess a set of dna that qualifies as a member of the genus homo, species sapiens.

And from any legal dictionary you'd care to look into -- a person is a human being.

Therefore, by simple commutation, a human fetus is a person within the contemplation of the law.

Clear?

Rights are for sentient beings. No thanks.

Nonsense. No PERSON may be deprived of LIFE, LIBERTY OR THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS without due process of law.

If the constitutional guarantee meant 'sentient beings', then it would have said 'sentient beings' -- unless of course it is your opinion that the framers of your constitution did not know what 'sentient being' means.

Mom v. foetus. Clear cut.

LOL.

More like a constitutional guarantee to life v the mere convenience of the mother, if you ask me.

Do you understand what is meant by sentient?

Being characterized by perception and consciousness.

Clearly, lots of people in a comma aren't sentient -- but the constitutional guarantee protects them since, guess what? -- they are still PEOPLE.

And yes, I'm highly supportive of Euthanasia.

Of course you are. The only pertinent question now is whether you are at all inclined to base your opinions on facts and logic?

Apparently not.
