Sheep and goats but I don't see why you distinguish, there is only one great and terrible day of the Lord, the day of judgement, the last day. I've come across some seriously bent interpretations of Revelation but never one that tries to justify 2 judgement days.

The way I heard it, there's the last day (Sheep and Goats) which judges all of those who are alive, and then there's the Throne, when the graves are opened and everybody else gets their shot at explaining why they broke their sister's favorite doll when they were ten.

So what is it, assuming you're a materialist, that you think is in an oak that isn't in an acorn?

I don't know what you mean by "materialist" in that context. Oaks have leaves. Roots. Xylem. Phloem. Nests. Beetles. Acorns. Acorns do not, but they have the potential to. In exactly the same way a fertilised egg is not a human being but it has the potential to grow into one.

MPs throw out bids to reduce abortion limit[^] Despite the advances made, it is still legal to kill a foetus of 24 weeks which has a 47% chance of surviving if born. In Europe its generally 12 weeks. When does life start? 10, 12 weeks? When can it be stated that an individual exists, even IF they need a life support machine in the form of a womb to do so. Its a long fucking way before 24 weeks though.
Morality is indistinguishable from social proscription

From the standpoint of abortion, it's irrelevant. The fact that someone is declared "alive" does not give that them the right to occupy and use another person's body without that person's consent.

I agree that it's disgraceful. The intent of abortion should not be to kill a fetus but to remove it from the woman's body. If the fetus can be removed and kept alive, it should be. However, in that case, I would prefer that the woman be forced to carry it to term for a few more months. Unfortunately, who's to stop her from drinking, smoking, abusing drugs, or doing other nasty things to herself (and the fetus) in the mean time?

The "right" is "obtained" when "another person" decides to act in such a way as to create that "someone".

That is your opinion and I respect it. But please keep in mind that not everyone shares it. For human beings, the act of sex is almost never accompanied by a desire to procreate. It is usually done for the pleasure of it. And just like there's no law that says that your body has to forever be the host of whatever STD you happen to catch from sex, there should also not be a law that forces you to host a fetus that begins growing inside of it.

This is why I usually don't comment on abortion related issues. Everyone has their opinion and almost nobody ever changes their mind. Why get into a fight?

But it is always accompanied by the potential to procreate. Personal responsibility about your actions should have some influence on your actions and its consequences. My principal argument against abortion is its use as retroactive birth control - and even there my argument is that I don't pay for other peoples condoms or birth control pills so why should I have to pay for their "I'm to stupid or lazy to bother" method of birth control? (I live in Canada - home of socialized medicine (where BTW we have NO laws governing abortion since our Supreme Court struck down our last one and the gov't has been to chickenshit to tackle the topic since))

Yes, I agree. But it doesn't change the fact that the fetus does not have a right to a woman's womb unless the woman grants it that right.
DRHuff wrote:

Yes, it's truly sad when it's used that way by the same person, over and over again. (Although it could be argued that such women are better off not having children.) I'm not sure what the right answer is for helping women not consider doing it more than once.

Wow, that sucks. Abortions are not free here in the US.
