Please post any scientific references that claim a child in the womb is not a human being.

Also, the issue of fetal viability has nothing to do with science, only at what point does the US constitution recognize the human child's right to have their life protected by law.

I will repeat this, since you did agree with my more accurate description, yet you keep avoiding that reality and retreating back to your less accurate description.

A fetus is the start of a human being. It is not a complete human being until death. A human being starts at conception, and is completed at death. A fetus is the start of a human being that is still physically dependent (consider the placenta and all) on its mother, until that child is born. Even then a child is relatively dependent on other humans until it is of legal age. Even then humans are somewhat dependent on other human beings. Even recluses must make social contact at times.

But the important issue here is a mother carrying the child to full term. Or at least to the point where a premature birth can be saved through medical intervention.

There is nothing in the scientific community that supports abortion. Please provide any references you think do.

Also, insinuating that an injustice must go unchallenged because it is "the law of the land" would make the Holocaust justifiable...
Re: "Unchallenged:" Persuasion. Not force.

Re: Holocaust: False analogy to abortion.
...I am honestly perturbed that how many Christians can support man's homicide laws when they directly contradict with God's commandment to not kill.
They're is nothing in mans homicide law's that command's anybody to kill anybody else. Please provide any reference's you think do.

You have not posted a scientific reference supporting your hypothesis. You just want us to believe you apparently.

Hypothesis?

Do you know what a formalized hypothesis is?

I posted detail that is accurate and blows your oversimplified claims out of the water. You can wiggle and try to divert attention from reality all you want. But in the end, you failed. And you will continue to fail if you continue with your chosen strategy.

Your use of hypothesis there indicates that you do not even have a good grasp of the philosophy of science in regard to theory, hypothesis, verification and falsification.

Fundamentals on writing a hypothesis.

Let's do this. You put your proposed model into a format that is formalized and can be verified/falsified. I will do the same for my proposed model. Then we can compare them to the evidence and see whose "hypothesis" has been verified/falsified.

Here is a link to Princeton Univ. quotes on when human life begins per science:

http://www.princeton.edu/~prolife/articles/embryoquotes2.html

We have both agreed that conception is the start of a human organism. That is not the debate.

So your reference is irrelevant to the difference in our proposed models. If you are claiming your model is more accurate, you need to format it into a formalized hypothesis. I claim my model is more accurate because it is more detailed.

In fact your reference supports my model over yours, because it differentiates between embryo and fetus. And also supports my previous claim that a human gestation is a continuum and not a binary on/off switch.

Development of the embryo begins at Stage 1 when a sperm fertilizes an oocyte and together they form a zygote.

Embryo: the developing organism from the time of fertilization until significant differentiation has occurred, when the organism becomes known as a fetus.

The question came up of what is an embryo, when does an embryo exist, when does it occur. I think, as you know, that in development, life is a continuum.... But I think one of the useful definitions that has come out, especially from Germany, has been the stage at which these two nuclei [from sperm and egg] come together and the membranes between the two break down.

Also your article is a compilation of quotes taken from other articles. It would be very useful to find the original articles and read them in their entirety. Rather than just your selected and abridged quotes that are obviously designed in that way to support your claims. I call attention to the last quote where some detail is obviously excluded, and perhaps that is an attempt by you to deceive us about what the original article says. And even in their design they fail at the purpose you claim for them.

I just got finish reading th opinion from Roe and Wade. Wow, not only did they butcher the history of the Catholic Churches centuries long opposition to abortion at any time they completely ignored other legal precedences in the world such as Nasciritus law and the American Convention of Human Rights, which declared life at conception. Our Supreme Court has been a joke for a long time.

I see. It could not possibly be that you are a sham and a political tool. It is the supreme court justices who do not agree with you.

I thought you were a citizen of Chile now.

You are right there is no debate. A unique person is created at conception. Per the lexical definition homicide is the taking of the life of another person. Abortion is homicide.

Now, do you want to explain why it is a justifiable homicide?

Can man's laws usurp God's laws?

Are you sure that is the question you want to ask?

Perhaps you mean:

Has man's law usurped God's law?

or

Should man's law usurp God's law?

I don't think you are accurate enough about things to get God's law right.

I corrected your inaccuracies again.

Now, do you want to explain why you keep leaving out the detail we have covered in depth many times?

Now that we have our definitions more accurate, would you like to know if I think abortion is wrong?

Would you like to know my reasoning behind that?

I see, you think this is a high school debate competition. Needless, to say God is not impressed with semantics. As the Bible says when the sins grow so great the land will vomit us out.
