And second off, that's not true at all, in regards to adoption. Private adoption waiting lists are in the tens of thousands long and families wait for years, with families being extensively examined in order for fitness

Show a source

2019-05-07 14:40:56 UTC  

Sure, one second

"***It is difficult to find reliable statistics to answer this question. Some sources estimate that there are about 2 million couples currently waiting to adopt in the United States — which means there are as many as 36 waiting families for every one child who is placed for adoption. ***"

Is a child struggling justification for killing them?

2019-05-07 14:42:02 UTC  

That is by an adoption agency of course they'll say that

2019-05-07 14:42:11 UTC  

And, it's not murder if they're not alive

2019-05-07 14:42:16 UTC  

So I give you a source, and you say "no i don't believe it"

2019-05-07 14:42:31 UTC  

Yes, because nobody has ever used that phrase to justify some of the worst atrocities in human histories

2019-05-07 14:42:38 UTC  

I'm saying your source is the people profiting off the issue

2019-05-07 14:42:40 UTC  

Can't be murder if they're not a person, right?

2019-05-07 14:42:54 UTC  

they arent alive

2019-05-07 14:42:54 UTC  

I didn't say that, I said they're not alive

2019-05-07 14:43:00 UTC  

uh yeah that's the definition of murder

2019-05-07 14:43:18 UTC  

If they're not alive you can not take their life

2019-05-07 14:43:18 UTC  

And you're telling me that the person writing their left leaning opinion piece isn't profiting, Komrade?

2019-05-07 14:43:19 UTC  

its not killing it if its not alive

2019-05-07 14:43:39 UTC  

Ok, so what determines life then?

2019-05-07 14:44:02 UTC  

the condition that distinguishes animals and plants from inorganic matter, including the capacity for growth, reproduction, functional activity, and continual change preceding death.

2019-05-07 14:44:12 UTC  

when it is able to survive outside its mothers womb

2019-05-07 14:44:21 UTC  

when they can be alive outside of womb

2019-05-07 14:44:25 UTC  

sksksk ashna

2019-05-07 14:44:28 UTC  

lmao

2019-05-07 14:44:39 UTC  

life doesn’t begin at sentience, it begins at conception

2019-05-07 14:44:44 UTC  

So physical location of the fetus is what determines life?

2019-05-07 14:44:50 UTC  

no

2019-05-07 14:44:51 UTC  

no

2019-05-07 14:44:55 UTC  

its their ability to survive

2019-05-07 14:45:07 UTC  

The fetus is not experiencing brain activity until the second trimester

2019-05-07 14:45:08 UTC  

a fetus cant stay alive outside of the womb

2019-05-07 14:45:10 UTC  

A fetus at 21 weeks is not alive but a fetus 1 week later, which could survive in an NICU, is alive?

2019-05-07 14:45:14 UTC  

ability to sustain life without extreme reliance on their mother

2019-05-07 14:45:15 UTC  

and if a mother aborts her baby it eliminates the chance of survival

2019-05-07 14:45:18 UTC  

yes

2019-05-07 14:45:29 UTC  

So it's brain activity?

2019-05-07 14:45:33 UTC  

Yes

2019-05-07 14:45:49 UTC  

ye
