I provide the info, and now you say I'm the one dancing around the point?

It's a really simple, elementary point. I don't see why you continue to ignore it.

Oh, the doctor may take a listen for a heartbeat, but even if he found it, he would do nothing, nor could he. They don't bother trying to save normally formed premature babies born under 20 weeks. Just a fact, but I know you'll not accept it, so why bother to go further providing more info? It only upsets Nihil Obstat.

Laudate_Dominum Posted November 19, 2009 Posted November 19, 2009 Remember that time on DS9 when Keiko O'Brien was going to lose her baby so Kira asked Bashir to transplant the baby into her womb? That was weird having Kira carrying O'Brien's baby. lulz.

We can save SO MUCH MONI3Z now that there's no reason to look for the cure for cancer. It's never been done, therefore IT'S NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN EVER. We can apply this to pretty much everything! Think of the money that can be saved in those pointless R&D departments.

CatherineM Posted November 19, 2009 Posted November 19, 2009 My brother John was 24 weeks at delivery. That was also in a time before ultrasounds, 1949. He's not just lucky to be alive, but he is lucky to not be blind. They didn't know how to regulate oxygen good in incubators back then, and some premmies ended up blind from too much. This is why I don't like leaving these decisions in the hands of humans, be they doctor or bureaucrat. If we allow God to make those decisions from Conception to natural death then we don't have to worry about making a mistake about which child should live or die. I have nothing against doctors, my brother Ray is an internist. He didn't go into OBGYN because he said he didn't like getting woken up at night.
Fidei Defensor Posted November 19, 2009 Posted November 19, 2009 I think all the debates about abortion going on here at Phatmass right now demonstrate that the only way Catholics know how to argue is to make inflammatory or overly emotional "arguments" because they have no more way to prove their side than pro-choice people do. Just saying.

Our position has been very clearly established using these already accepted facts, so I don't see exactly how you can criticize this debate. If we were debating with an atheist, our proofs would be very different.

You are very high on my list of people I refuse to debate anymore. You can't construct an argument to save your life and the arguments you do "construct" are nothing but emotional bullock. Emotion does not equate with fact. Good luck discovering that.
