This is a good example of a logical fallacy called "argumentum ad

The argument about abortion is far more a "moral" issue than it is a
medical
one. Therefore, the fact that your 88 year old mother is an RN has no
probative
or persuasive value in the argument.

If you wanted to make an argument like that, you'd have done better to
say, "My
88 year old mother, a federal prosecutor for about 65 years, says it is
murder."

gave up nursing then. Her opinion is it is a viable baby at that the time

7.5 months at birth. 30 now and going to be a dad himself in May. If it is

the baby continues it birth trip after being stabbed in the head, negates
fact that the mom dies if the baby is born. The Federal prosecutor would
now say it is murder.

Your 88-year-old mother is entitled to her opinion, but it doesn't sound
as if she is in a position to push her beliefs onto others.

One of my problems with anti-choicers is that most of them don't give a
crap about the millions of "unwanted" children already in this country.
They are "pro-life" until there is a live birth, and then they don't
give a crap how that child lives.

I guess your opinion is that if you decide you do not want the baby, you can
kill it after you see it is the wrong whatever after delivery. Makes as
much sense as saying you can abort (kill) the baby when it is1/3 out the
mom. This is not abortion, this is murder. Any one with a conscious would
see that. Not like aborting in first trimester.

Picked up the Burgundy paint for my Jetcraft at San Leandro Color off Dutton
and E. 14th. $16 and they put it in a spray can for me. I listen to my
mom, don't you.

When she was alive, I *always* listened to my mother--especially when she taught
me that I should make up my own mind.

I go along with her opinion.

So it would appear--and that's fine; but the *only* point I want to make about
what you said is that the fact that your mother is 88 years old and a nurse has
no probative or persuasive value with respect to this highly charged issue.

I think a nurse has some persuasive value in this argument. And I support
legal abortion. Old enough to remember dead girls making the news from back
ally botched abortions. But when a baby is 33% out the mom, and is stabbed
in the head and debrained, that is not abortion. That is a killing! The
sad thing is the amount of abortions. Reaaly sad when it becomes a birth
control method. Enough birth control methods out there to stop the
pregnancy from ever happening.

Don't worry Bill, this is where Mr. Parsons steps in and says he never
disagreed with you opinion, just the fact that you used your mothers nursing
experience to support your argument.

Oh, you know how it is, buddy. If JoeTechnician thinks that you are
even a tiny bit left leaning, and able to think for yourself, as
opposed to goose stepping to BushCo, then you are non-human to him.
Yes, it's stupidity, but it's there, non the less.

Godwin's Law /prov./ [Usenet] "As a Usenet discussion grows longer, the
probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one."
There is a tradition in many groups that, once this occurs, that thread
is over, and whoever mentioned the Nazis has automatically lost whatever
argument was in progress. Godwin's Law thus practically guarantees the
existence of an upper bound on thread length in those groups.


Wally: Godwin's Law is a canard; when it first was first posted, it was
a funny little piece of doggerel. The fact that you *rely* on it to help
you dispute opinions with which you disagree only goes to show what a
real dumfoch you are.

Here's a simple example for you: someone will liken some idea put in the
head of Bush, the brain-damaged imbecile in the White House, to
something that would have come out of the third reich. You and the rest
of the right-wing pond scum will then *deny* the validity of that posit,
ad nauseum, thus disproving that there is an "upper bound" on thread length.

There isn't a thought in your head worth a plugged nickel, Wally. How
can you live with that?

You're right, it is, but to stab a hole in the head and suck the brains out
of a baby's head during delivery is murder.

So is starting a war and getting a bunch of innocent people killed murder?
Is having criminals killed, then joking about it murder?
Is death, because of failure to take care of our elderly murder?
