You can't say "oh, the details are irrelevant here" because it fits your belief. You are correct. The law is very exact. And there is no legal difference in the law between "fetus" and "unborn child".

If she doesn't support it and is just trying to please the crowd, she's not fit to run this country because (a) she's a coward and (b) she won't do what she believes is right or what is inherently right because of public opinion.

It's about her acknowledging that it's killing a person and supporting the "right" to do so.

Quote:Just because it is technically still in the womb, nothing about the baby or its abilities to live on its own changes in the hours before it is born. You're absolutely incorrect. I suggest you review persistent fetal circulation.

If the subject is fish and you're talking about a guitar then someone's definition of bass is "more wrong" based upon the context in which bass was used. Quote:Folks all the time refer to a fetus as a baby. Yeah, "folks" like these . . . Did you ever wonder why they call 'em a "babysitter" instead of a "fetussitter"? Because babies aren't fetuses despite what "folks" might call them. Quote:I appreciate you constant quest to have folks define words and only accepting the one you want, while considering others to be "sticklers" for words. I want you to click "Search." Enter "definition" into the keyword field. Enter "Bfine32" in username field. Scroll down and click the "posts" button at the end of "Search Results as" and then click the "Search" button. What search results do you get? Six pages of results like this . . . (01-21-2016, 02:54 PM)bfine32 Wrote: No doubt; I'm the one that called for definitions and then balked at a word used in it. Isn't that exactly what you just accused me of doing? Quote:But to answer your "non-stickler" questions: A fetus is "unborn." Unborn means before birth. When is it "born"? At birth. After it is born is it "unborn"? No. Can it be "born" and "unborn" simultaneously before or after birth? No. Therefore, by definition, a fetus is only a fetus if it is "unborn." So when does a fetus become a baby? (07-30-2016, 12:53 AM)oncemoreuntothejimbreech Wrote: Yes. When does it become a baby? After it is born. Holy shit! Exactly what I wrote in post #17 before you "didn't" argue about "another" definition "again." At the end of the 10th week of pregnancy, your baby is no longer an embryo. It is now a fetus, the stage of development up until birth. Do we need to confirm "up until birth" means the fetal stage ends at "birth" and the "etymology" of "neonate"?

Therefore, you're murdering a person. Placenta abruptio. That is what we call it when the placenta seperates from the uterues before birth. If the placenta isn't attached to the uterus it cannot supply oxygen to the fetus. Without oxygen the fetus will die . . . because the fetus just hours before delivery is still dependant upon the woman to live. Placenta previa. That is what we call it when the placenta's attachment covers all or part of the cervix which can make a vaginal delivery impossible. If the fetus can't be delivered vaginally or via C-section it will die. Placenta accreta. That is what we call it when . . . ah, fudge it.

Does that mean I support abortion or I don't?

"You are not a person because I did not allow you to be born". Have you ever used a condom? Used the rhythm method? Pulled out? "And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother's wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother. And the thing which he did displeased the Lord: wherefore he slew him also." Genesis 38:9-10 What about Onan's rights?

This is completely false. (07-29-2016, 09:24 PM)BFritz21 Wrote: So the baby could be born just hours before it actually was supposed to and could survive on its own From your very first post you've stated repeatedly a fetus can survive on its own. Now you're trying to claim a fetus is called a fetus "legally" because it can't live outside its mother? A fetus is called a fetus because it is a stage of development inside the womb between an embryo and birth.

[Two minutes later] Nope. Still here.

Must be a confusing existence not knowing these things exist. 2) No I never wondered this and just because a baby is not a fetus, does not mean a fetus cannot also be a baby. Another dynamic that ecsapes you that most likely makes life more confusing. Here let me blow your mind: A square can also be a rectangle, but a rectangle can never be a square. I know: mind blown. 3) I suppose we could go back and see who accused whom first, but I'm quite sure you pulled the card first. 4) Seems as if you are kind of repeating yourself here. Please refer to answer #2 (once your briain stops spinning) to find your answer. 5) Simply pointed out that you chose to use the exclusive definition of a word that has inclusive meanings. As your orginal answer whas "when a baby can breathe on its own". Other might rightly, consider the fetus a baby capable of breathing on its own. 6) Good simple explaination about the stages of pregnancy. 7) A continuation of simple biology. I can only imagine someone of your POV is a hoot at a baby shower: Person A: "Can I feel the baby kick?" Person B: "It's not a baby, it's a fetus; hell I don't even know why we are calling this event a baby shower; it should be a fetal gathering". This will be my last point-by-point discussion with you on this matter; as it has grown petty in nature. Feel free to believe the same word can only mean one thing and confuse inclusive/exclusive definitions with homonyms and homographs. Just be prepared to get dismissed quite frequently.

If you want this to just be about abortion, just start a thread with the premise that Hillary's position on abortion isn't something you agree with. Of course, Trump was pro-choice for decades until a year ago when he said he was now pro-life and seeking the Republican nomination... |
