You have to give me an argument if you want me to abandon my position that the unborn are persons.<br /><br />Your emotional appeal is a fallacious appeal to consequences. It is a natural consequence that sometimes an alleged miscarriage may have to be investigated as a possible homicide, but this is no different than if, say, a toddler wound up dead but there was cause to suspect the mother of committing murder. It's alarmist nonsense to say that every miscarriage will be investigated. That's simply not true. Some of them may be investigated, however, if there is cause to suspect that the mother terminated the life of her child rather than it happening naturally.Clinton Wilcoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17018335374680419858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3163957708245233467.post-42156657449773098942016-08-29T07:30:59.184-07:002016-08-29T07:30:59.184-07:00The problem with personhood for en embroyo is if ...The problem with personhood for en embroyo is if you give personhood to an embroyo (besides the fact it violates a woman's bodilty autonomy), that would mean that you would have to investigate every miscarriage also. If the embroyo is a person with full rights as a person outside the womb, then every miscarriage is a possible crime. So now a woman has to be subjected to a criminal investigation to see if she self-enduced the miscarriage or was it natural? That is what you would have with giving the embroyo person hood rights. Is that the kind of world that you want to live in? I sure don't.beretta1071https://www.blogger.com/profile/07773738180431189341noreply@blogger.com
