    Someone getting a gun illegally doesn't automatically mean a life is lost. Every abortion does.

    Excellent article. I'll link to it after the quote.

    " .... the issue is what that “heartbeat” actually is. “At six weeks, the embryo is forming what will eventually develop into mature systems. There’s an immature neurological system, and there’s a very immature cardiovascular system,” says Jennifer Kerns, an ob-gyn at UC San Francisco and director of research in obstetrics and gynecology at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital. The rhythm specified in the six-week abortion bans, she says, “is a group of cells with electrical activity. That’s what the heartbeat is at that stage of gestation … We are in no way talking about any kind of cardiovascular system.”"

    https://www.wired.com/story/heartbea...ats-all-wrong/

    BTW, at this stage of development the fetus is less than half an inch long. As the article points out, the so-called "pro-life" (really, "forced-birthers") use the heartbeat to evoke emotion and give the impression that the fetus is somehow a baby at this point.

    So having a heart doesn't mean life? Hopefully yours will stop beating.

    No, but I would probably be against abortion if humans became an endangered species.

    So does that mean a law against abortion is pointless?

    So you're saying gun control didn't reduce gun crime.
    Do you also think laws against abortion won't reduce abortions?

    I would hardly call a violation of the constitution pointless.........and since I already know your comeback, no abortion is NOT protected in the constitution.......only in the fantasies of five guys who got appointed to the SC......

    We're not talking about muh constitution, though. We're talking about if the law would make a difference.

    Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying.

    Again, abortion has nothing to do with guns. Why is that so difficult to comprehend?
    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    But would this really be an effective way to stop abortions from happening?

    but it IS because that clump of cells in a panda is actually another panda........

    You're not understanding. I'm not saying the two are the same. I'm saying that if laws won't stop one, why would they stop the other?

    So if laws against abortions won't reduce abortions, we probably shouldn't have said laws.
