WinDis Polls - 1: Abortion

[Countess Anya of the North Parish]

     Besides the point. Many people deny that the fetus should be entitled to the rights of an adult human. From the perspective of an atheist libertarian, there isn't really any sensible reason why they would be.

Why not?  I've never understood why an atheist automatically has to be pro-choice.

     You don't automatically have to be anything. There just isn't any compelling reason for an atheist to be pro-life, at least from the perspective of a liberties-based world view.

Um, it has nothing to do with religion. You either believe in basic human rights, or you don't.

     We've been over this before. I believe in "human rights" because of a specific feature that distinguishes us from animals. It makes sense to me to think of it that way, since there must be some reason that we have rights & animals do not. Now, fetuses do not possess this specific feature...see what I'm getting at?

Yeah, and once again, you want to believe in an arbitrary definition of humanity because it supports your personal agenda. Sorry, but you can't force your beliefs on others.

     I don't want to force my beliefs on the issue on anyone. That's why I'm pro-choice.

good ownage there.

Yeah, PiT was owned pretty badly. I'm glad you are here to comfort him.

oh please. he got you there. If you can't admit that then you take this stuff to seriously. Everyone gets burned once in a while. It just happen to be you this time libertas.
