Is This A Person

[Viper Vic]

Just wondering if this is a person. It is still in the womb.

WHY?

 

[Never]

No, I believe that's an ultrasound lavy.

 

[The Nitelight]

I believe it's former UNLV coach Jerry Tarkanian....

 

[cybergirly]

Actually no.

It looks like twins to me.


But yes I would say at that stage of development, they would be able to live independent of the mother, and therefore should be considered people.

I think the other yellow blob might be mom.

I agree with the whole propogands platform. Next thing your going to know, anti-abbortion slander will be filling the boards.

No not really, I was just wondering what the reaction to this gif would be.

Very few people are persuaded to change their positions
by bashing their views.

And I am not a bashing kind of guy, with exception of pphead and his twin redwave.

Question: How old is that fetus? Because my educated guess would be about 5 months at which point abortion is no longer an option anyway.

Here we go with the abortion fight...sigh. I'm going to go find someone who wants to talk about sex.

So much anger over a little picture?

Who's angry?

Who's angry?

Anger may have been too strong a word, but look at Lavy and Basia's posts and they don't exactly sound cheerful.

It's a gut reaction. When you relate the pic and the thread title, it's obvious what the conversation is about. It's not an unemotional topic.

I agree with you that it's not an unemotional topic. I disagree that it's propoganda or that any kind of slander is forthcoming though.

You DO know no one else is going to touch this and it's just going to be you and I going back and forth pointlessly right?

Yup, I'm done here.

 

[Never]

Raw Humor,
It's an emotional reaction because they know they have to completely dismiss the point he's making or dismiss the personhood of the fetus, something that's much harder to do.

I am slapping myself already for responding to this but I agree with sunstruck...

I think even older.....but the point is Moot...until the question is has an answer.
