Flawed under YOUR reality, but not mine. Under your logic I'm in an infallible position, because I'm making a statement consistent with my reality, that perceives absolute truth and objective reality not dependent on subjectivity. Using your own logic, you cannot possibly take issue with my statement, because it's a statement about my reality.

What sand? I don't think I'm failing to understand any point-of-view here -- I'm just trying to keep you from twisting things. If YOU think abortion is taking of life, that's fine.

But to say that someone else's opinion means something, you must assume the truth of that opinion -- because you are analyzing it by its own rules.

The fact is children/embryos/foetuses/life is being ended by proactive human behaviour resultant from the opinion that it is not human life. Therein lies the point.

The opinion leads to a lack of preventative thoughts. That is the really really really simple point.

I'm not trying to distract from anything. In fact, I'm trying to bring a little substance to a discussion which has basically dwindled into "Yorick Repeats Self Ad Infinitum Once Again." I mean, we've seen your opinion 99,000 times already on this thread alone.

But, go ahead, say it again -- it might make it true this time.

I will scream it from any soapbox if it saves ONE LIFE. One child may be born as a result. If I rant on every day for the rest of my life, and just one person is born as a result I have suceeded, and it will all be worth it.
