Well I can certainly see how you're a 40 year old loser with 34k posts, you sure can pound out the bullshit.
However,
You have still yet to explain to me how you, you YOU were alive in your mother's womb. You don't seem to understand. At one point you were a collection of cells, just a developing organism, there was no YOU, no alive HUMAN; no alive conscious being. But at a certain point, you matured and were birthed. If you were aborted, you, Mr. Santara, never existed, you were a collection of aborted cells.
Understand? Do I have to break out mathematical schematics? Or would a NFL playbook make it easier to understand?
Awww, some random retard is making fun of my age and experience.

I suggest you crack a dictionary. Start with these terms:
Quote
life
[ līf ]
NOUN
the condition that distinguishes animals and plants from inorganic matter, including the capacity for growth, reproduction, functional activity, and continual change preceding death:
Quote
human
[ ˈ(h)yo͞omən ]
NOUN
a human being, especially a person as distinguished from an animal or (in science fiction) an alien.
Now, you've already noted that what is growing inside the mother is a "developing organism," which is perfectly accurate. Organism.
Quote
organism
[ ˈôrgəˌnizəm ]
NOUN
an individual animal, plant, or single-celled life form.
So now, between the dictionary and your own terminology, we have established the existence of life. Next is the term human. Now, if the developing organism isn't human, could you please denote which species it belongs? Be precise.
This is basic biology here. Now, you can have a legitimate discussion about whether you think a zygote/fetus is a legal "person," but in no way can you deny that it is both alive and human.
Now onto consciousness. I'll repost since you must have missed it:
Quote
conscious
[ ˈkänCHəs ]
ADJECTIVE
aware of and responding to one's surroundings; awake.
Scientists, you know - people who actually make it their business to figure things out empirically - have determined that fetuses are capable of responding to stimuli well before birth. That means that they acquire consciousness before they enter the breathing world. You have also FAILED to provide any reasoning at all why consciousness is integral in defining a human being.

Because I assume you're not a vegetarian?
Feel free to insert the word "human."

Chuck Todd is actually one of the MSNBC guys I like.

Only 7 minutes into this interview, but I'm impressed so far.
You aren't a dittohead, are you?
