Yeah, who would be crazy enough to think that taking a human life is killing?
He's talking about whether or not the fetus is alive, Guido.

Oh crap. We DID start that argument. ****.

The state of "living" isn't really arguable. It's been more or less scientifically proven that a fetus is alive. It may be about as animated as a tree, but it's still alive.
The real question is whether it's a "human" life, and this question is more philosophical than scientific.
I watched clouds awobbly from the floor o' that kayak. Souls cross ages like clouds cross skies, an' tho' a cloud's shape nor hue nor size don't stay the same, it's still a cloud an' so is a soul. Who can say where the cloud's blowed from or who the soul'll be 'morrow? Only Sonmi the east an' the west an' the compass an' the atlas, yay, only the atlas o' clouds.
I had an abortion when I was 18. I was working in Tennesee as a waitress in a truck stop and I fell in love with a guy - bright blue eyes, maybe powder blue, curly blonde hair.
I ended up getting pregnant with his best friend. It was the first time I had sex. I had an abortion, too, because if I had kept the baby, it would have ruined my life.

Hey Mal, it's funny, I just saw an episode of Scrubs and the character playing Jordan described what was essentially the exact same situation you described. Anyway, sorry to hear about that incedent.

The opening scene shows Telly and an unknown girl kissing, then, after Telly tells her how much he wants to "****" her, they have sex. Telly leaves and meets his friend Casper (played by the late Justin Pierce), who is drinking a forty-ounce bottle of beer and reading a comic book, on the steps.
As they walk along the sidewalk, Telly tells Casper about his sexual experience, as Casper exclaims obvious admiration. They go inside a store, and Casper steals another forty-ounce beer bottle as Telly distracts the cashier. They then steal a few peaches using the same set-up just outside the store.
They start walking to a friend's house, even though they express dislike towards him on the way there, showing they just want drugs and food. They arrive at the person's house, inhale nitrous oxide out of balloons, talk about sex, and smoke marijuana.
So, you think the saving of one life is cause for ruining others? Wouldn't you give up your life to save 100 people, or even 10 people? Think about the two options carefully.
Before I give a response, let me say this: I wrote a huge observational rant about the chaos theory before I even knew what the chaos theory was. I have never bothered to learn more than that my crazy rant and the chaos theory are basically the exact same thing (I did this with an ancient Greek philosophy that everything is illusion but self, as well. HELL IF YOU HAVE A SINGLE ORIGINAL THOUGHT ANYMORE.). So if something doesn't match up with chaos theory, don't cut me apart for it.

Uh.
Isn't one of the things about chaos theory that positive and negative effects are almost completely blended with one another?
For example, there is a raffle at a banquet where you win a car if your number is called. You planned to go and buy a raffle ticket, but end up not being able to. Little do you know that if you had gone, you would have won the car, and as a result, the guy who would have been next in line wins it. However, if you had won the car, you would have crashed it on the way home and killed yourself instantly. However, because you died, your sister writes a memoir and becomes an extremely famous author and gets extremely rich and these riches attract a sleezebag who has a child who is the next Hitler.
Just because you have a negative experience doesn't mean it's not better for the world in the long run.

so you are against killing sperm
and amputation

and removing algae from pools
and cremation of corpses that still house perfectly living bacteria which could evolve into sentinent life at any moment
Seriously, what a stupid statement. EVEN DIRT CAN MAKE LIFE. ARE YOU PART OF THE SAVE THE DIRT MOVEMENT?
I already foresee responses reading, "BUT WE'RE ON A REALISTIC SCALE." Yeah, and I don't sweat it when I step on an ant or cut down a Christmas tree. Do you? They could be human lives one day or another, y'know. Then why are you losing sleep over killing (oh wait, that implies it's living) something that "COULD HAVE BEEN A HUMAN LIFE".
Crazy anti-abortionists.
Anyway, this thread was doomed to become an abortion thread sooner or later, and I don't see us solving the pregnancy problem anymore.

Agreed, I believe it's a human when it has the cognative abilities of a human. Not before.
However, some people believe having human DNA is enough to make it a tradedy to abort.
Oh, by the way, fetuses are creepy lookin'. If I knew I had one of those growing inside of me, I would cut myself open with dinnerware to get that alien looking mother****er out.
