there is an infinite amount of possible people who will never know what it's like to exist. i don't think that which does not exist can outweigh that which does.

I neglected to point out that these are conscious beings that will not know what it is like to exist.

My religion does not demand it - if anything, the issue wouldn't matter at all on account of the extensive afterlife.) (2. I have multiple reasons that I don't need some holy Book to give me.)

i don't know what your reasons are better than yourself, but you're contradicting your own statement "it's not an easy thing to mess with the SANCTITY. of. life." you're just arguing against yourself, but i like what you're saying so, good job

For the last time, it's an expression. I said it isn't easy to mess with the sanctity of life, meaning that some doctors not only have to perform very difficult operations in order to successfully abort a fetus, but some face moral dilemmas as well. There's hardly anything simple about performing an abortion, but I'll try to make it sound as simple as I can so I can get it through your head. If you take issue with a religious-sounding word, I have to go all the way back and explain why I've used it. I'll try to avoid them next time.

Quote:You're the only one bullshitting here, and the last two quotes prove my point.

I used a half-truth to try to get the actual truth out of you, and, as I expected, you're too stupid to realize the full cost of abortion.

lol srry i'm not going to fall for your pathetic little tricks. and i'm not bullshitting, all I've been doing is making the honest point that less suffering would exist in a world where abortion is legal.

It obviously was a pathetic trick considering it flew over the top of your head.

Yes, it is an honest point that less suffering would exist in a world where abortion is legal, but it isn't a complete point. Just because an aborted fetus would never suffer the negative points of life does not mean the suffering is avoided - oftentimes, the potential mother gets it instead. Ever heard of post-abortion trauma? It's really very common.

Also, the aborted child will not get to live the positive aspects of life, which, from where I'm standing, are the things that make life worth living. They won't even get to make the choice whether to go through it or not - their potential mother has to make this choice for them, which isn't really very fair.

oh you put "indeed" before "conscious" so it must be true. i'm going to ask again for a link to the research you were talking about

Still need proof of common knowledge, eh?
Fine, I'll humor you.

Here, here's one! (Check the first paragraph to The Road to Awareness.)
Take one more! And this one (you can skip through the religious stuff)!
Who needs to be picky when it comes to sources? There are so many that it's practically common knowledge.

Like I said, I was baiting you for the truth, but, as it turns out, you knew nothing.
