Abortion

Under U.S. law, they are now considered to be legal people. I suspect it's why the term "natural person" came about to begin with, to differentiate between what I consider to be -actual- people and corporate "people". From the article I referenced in the post you're responding to:
**
The term “natural person” refers to a living human being, with certain rights and responsibilities under the law. By contrast, a “legal person,” or an “artificial person,” is a group of people that is considered by law to be acting as a single individual. Both natural and legal persons are entitled to sue other parties and sign contracts. They can also both be on the receiving end of a lawsuit.

I suspect what you -really- want to know is whether I agree with the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Citizens United v. FED. I don't. Like you, I think that decision should be overturned. For anyone who hasn't heard of this decision, here's Wikipedia's entry on it:

A quote from the article that I think is pretty good:
**
The Supreme Court's 5–4 ruling in favor of Citizens United sparked significant controversy, with some viewing it as a defense of American principles of free speech and a safeguard against government overreach, and others criticizing it for reaffirming the longstanding principle of corporate personhood, and for allowing large corporations to wield disproportionate political power.

I agree on citizens united. totally fucked decision.

I was really getting at how "not actual people", like a corporation, is considered more of person than an in utero real individual actual human by many.

like a pro-abortion libertarian corporatist perhaps?

the worst.
 
Anyone can make unsubstantiated assertions.
Anyone can be EVASIVE.

I asked you where you got your idea that "everything is random anyway".
I asked you MANY questions that you refuse to answer.

Instead of telling me, you simply doubled down on your unsubstantiated assertion.
Anytime you want to answer my questions, I'll be standing by. EVADING isn't doing your credibility any favours.
 
For the audience, when gfm says "contracted killings", she means induced abortions.
I mean "contracted killings" (as 'induced abortions' are a subset of contracted killings). Also, I realize that my moniker makes no indication to my gender, but I am actually a he.
Anyway, I'd first like to contest your believe that 100 million die each year between conception and birth. According numberofabortions.com, the amount of abortions worldwide this year is just over 30 million and we've only got another quarter of a year until the year is over. That suggests that there will only be around 40 million abortions this year.
I came up with the 100 million die each year number from both the World Health Organization (~73 million 'abortions' per year) and from an international study that was published in The Lancet (and shared on the Planned Parenthood website) (~23 million 'miscarriages' per year). 73+23 = 96 million, then I rounded up to 100 million.

Remember that abortion isn't the only manner in which death occurs between conception and birth.

I admit that these are essentially "random numbers" and that reality could be much less or much more than 100 million per year.
But perhaps much more important, have you considered how many more -birthed- children there would be who would die between birth and the age of five if a significant proportion of those 40 million abortions didn't occur?
Have you considered how many more -elder- adults there would be who would die over the age of 65 if a significant proportion of those X million deaths between the ages of 0-64 didn't occur?
 
I was really getting at how "not actual people", like a corporation, is considered more of person than an in utero real individual actual human by many.
This is precisely why I avoid the word "person" and instead use "living human".

like a pro-abortion libertarian corporatist perhaps? the worst.
More like those fascist globalist libertarian corporate-government bureaucracy elitest pro-abortion Nazis ... they're absolutely the worst.
 
What I'm getting at is that I think it makes more sense to try to avoid the deaths of living humans who are being born and who are very young than trying [my killing supremacy is at risk if anyone tries] to prevent females [mothers] from having abortions [hiring professional killers to place a hit on their unborn children].
Fixed that for you.
When it comes to abortions [contracted killings], the prospective mothers themselves think it would be best [convenient for them] to terminate their pregnancy [hire a professional killer to place a hit on their unborn children].
Fixed that for you also.

2 Questions:
1- What are these 2 types of risk you speak of?
2- What do you want me to clarify?

I could guess, but it's easier for you to just spell it out.
The two types of risk are 1. systematic risk and 2. non-systematic risk.

One is rewarded for systematic risk. The phrase "the greater the risk, the greater the reward" only applies to systematic risk.

One is not rewarded for non-systematic risk. One, is not rewarded for gambling at a casino, for example, or for doing something unnecessarily dangerous, etc,
 
Been following this subthread for a while. I see that IBD dropped the ball. @IBDaMann , I've done the legwork so that you can understand what A Proud Lefty is talking about, just look at the nested quotes. What's your answer? Manslaughter if it's less than 19 days? Misdemeanor for masturbation?
Are you demanding answers while you are yourself being thoroughly EVASIVE?

Ask me a coherent question .. and answer my questions.
 
Unless we're talking about marriage, prenuptual agreements or birth surrogacy, I think there are few people signing anything before sex. We are talking about consensual sex, which means that both parties agree to have sex. That's generally the only contract before having sex and it's a verbal one.



Fine, but then you should have to have her sign an agreement -prior- to her having sex. Or, at least, that's what I thought could work. Looks like I'm wrong, at the very least in Wisconsin:
View: https://www.reddit.com/r/legaladvice/comments/505lpy/can_i_have_a_girl_sign_a_contract_that_either/


I don't agree with the judge's decision. I definitely believe that one -should- be able to make such a contract. Since this apparently isn't possible, it looks like the best you can do is make a contract anyway and hope she doesn't take you to court to force you to pay child support anyway, at least in Wisconsin.

I think it should be obvious, but just in case it isn't, I also don't think that women should be able to get a man to pay child support if something in the "forced fatherhood" category is done by the woman:
**
Forced fatherhood or imposed paternity, occurs when a man becomes a father against his will or without his consent. It can include deception by a partner about her ability to get pregnant or use of contraceptives, birth control sabotage, paternity fraud and sexual assaults of males that result in pregnancy.

"Sperm theft" (also known as "unauthorized use of sperm", "spermjacking" or "spurgling" (a portmanteau of sperm and burgling)), refers to a specific form of forced fatherhood in which a man's semen is used to impregnate a woman without his consent.

If you expect mutual consent then mutual control is the only just option. The woman cant claim unilateral control over making the man pay support if he has no say in whether she has a abortion or not. The devil's in the details chum
 
A sperm and an egg is hardly sufficient to create a child. They are both just -part- of what's required. You're forgetting the most important part of all- the female's body that houses them both. That's the real heavy lifter in creating a baby. This becomes abundantly clear when it comes to birth surrogacy- note that while the sperm and the egg can be from various sources, the one constant is the gestational carrier:

Surrogacy​

Surrogacy (also known as host or full surrogacy was first achieved in April 1986. It takes place when an embryo created by in vitro fertilization (IVF) technology is transferred to a gestational carrier. Surrogacy has several forms, and in each form, the resulting child is genetically unrelated to the surrogate:

  • The embryo is created using the intended father's sperm and the intended mother's eggs;
  • The embryo is created using the intended father's sperm and a donor egg;
  • The embryo is created using the intended mother's egg and donor sperm;
  • A donor embryo is transferred to a gestational carrier. Such an embryo may be available when others undergoing IVF have embryos left over, which they donate to others. The resulting child is genetically unrelated to the gestational carrier.

Not alone- as with creating a baby, you need 3 things- bullets, the gun and most important of all, a person to pick a target and then pull the trigger.
I didn't say child I said life. It's a life.
 
Are you suggesting that you need to be a doctor to be highly intelligent?
Is English your second language? I made no claim about who is highly intelligent, I asked you what you mean by "highly" intelligent. You reading with comprehension would help make this a more fruitful discussion

Your word games won't work, Scotch. Abortion is murder.

He never learned it. He only knows Liberal. It looks like English, but words have no meaning or shifting meaning.

He is desperately trying to pivot away from abortion and what it means for the life that is snuffed out by it.
 
Anyone can be EVASIVE.
Like many Democrats, Scotch takes it to an art form.
I asked you MANY questions that you refuse to answer.
That you have. He is desperately trying to squirm away from the only logical answer.
Anytime you want to answer my questions, I'll be standing by. EVADING isn't doing your credibility any favours.
He won't. He can't afford to face the murder he is advocating.
