Pretty sure you're just trolling, but...

My appendix is alive.
A cow is alive.

Please justify an appendectomy.
Please justify eating beef.

Your inability to differentiate between killing a person and an animal will not be responded to.


But it's not unreasonable to say that the bag o' cells that is an early term human fetus isn't a human.

Which brings us back to my original statement. This lie being spread that the baby isn't a human in order to justify murder needs to stop. Calling the baby a fetus, "a bag o' cells", or an "indistinguishable mush of cells" is exactly what has been done in the past to justify unspeakable evils. The nazis did it with the Jews, Americans did it with the Africans, and we are doing it today with babies. It's a convient lie to get out of taking responsibility for your actions.

The idea that during the baby's growth at some mysterious point, that no one cam agree on, he or she magically becomes a human being is absurd.

Fixed it for you.

Try this - take some sperm and egg and mix them up in a petri dish. Do you end up with a human? What happens if you leave the petri dish on the counter? Are you a murderer?

Dropping the idiotic pro-life rant that some have used on here (hint it is of NO USE TO THE OP)...abortion, if memory serves is only available for medical reasons in Korea. What you need to do OP is GET OFF an online forum populated by strangers and talk to a doctor (ya know a medical professional that can tell you what your options are).

Did you guys even take a pregnancy test by the way?

Patrick-
Did you not notice? The OP hasn't responded ONCE to this entire thread, and there were some legitimate questions.
Like I've already said TWICE, this dude is most likely just sitting back enjoying the show.
If I'm wrong; I sincerely apologize.


I know-- I have too much time on my hands being finals week and all Smile

I think abortion is only available for medical reasons in the way that prostitution is illegal.

I hadn't thought of that before. In this situation I'd sooner see a doctor and pay for professional care (even in Korea) than order some pills over the internet. I don't care how nice the people on the website are.

The OP hasn't come back because his thread is long on idiotic debates and short on advice.

Sure, if logic and reasoning are not your thing. Which appears to be the case.

No woman should have to go through an unwanted pregnancy and childbirth, followed by the abject misery of having a child they don't want. We aren't in the middle ages anymore for Christ's sake. Abortion is available here, but I don't know the channels you have to go through.
