I think you shoul dbe more aware of the ethical and religious use of sacred, and also of inherent in terms of philosophy.
there is obviously a continuum where you have life-is-sacred pro-lifers on the edge and limited-case pro-lifers further down the line
Inherent implies that whether you are there, or not, it still is.
And I am arguing that is cognitive disonance, or a lack of proper word usage.
absolutely not
Obviously so.
When a tree falls in a forest, and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound?
Soyboy cucks: Dunno.
Science: YES YOU MORONS
pro-lifers don't necessarily believe life is sacred. they simply recognize the rights we afford to beings who come into the world
that's actually bullshit.
I never said they did.
look are you guys incapable of noticing that there are many ways to take the pro-life position? it's not a monolith
i haven't ever seen a prolifer ever claim to not care about the sanctity of life.
You're incapable of separating an ethical argument from a personal stance.

That is anecdotal.
For both of you.
unrelated but everytime I read prolifer, it read it as in the beginning of proliferate
i agree
I have argued that *some* argue absolute sacredness of life, and others do not... Those that do not have cognitive dissonance. At least the absolute sacred people are against capital punishment and/or lethal self defense when pressured.
you're a prolifer? dang, I'm only an amateurlifer
better than a journeymanlifer
and i'm here telling you that's a false dichotomy
@Malign anecdotal : based on or consisting of reports or observations of usually unscientific observers
How is that a false dichotomy?
You're going to have to argue against the basic understanding of the word 'sacred'
sa·credDictionary result for sacred
/ˈsākrəd/Submit
adjective
connected with God (or the gods) or dedicated to a religious purpose and so deserving veneration.
because i can fulfil every qualification of your 1st group without giving a shit about what's sacred
Then my argument isn't inherently directed at you, now is it?
then you would be venerating the sanctiy of life.
You took offense where you shouldn't because you don't understand the nature of the statement you're arguing against.
i can be for the death penalty and pro-life and not have a care in the world about sanctity.
Sure, but you don't get to say it is due to sacredness of life.
nope. it's about rights and justice
Why lead with nope?
If that send sentence is what you believe, then we could have a discussion about that, but you say 'nope' implying you CAN claim sacredness of life while ending lives.
so, explain how you get to anti abortion and pro death penalty without having a belief in the sanctity of life.
'Daisies should be protected and venerated at all costs.'
*hacks off their flowers and stems and stuffs them in a glass jar to boil in the sun on my dinner table*
Ahhhhhhhhh sacred.
