		<description>Gigi, as I said before, I will be glad to give you an answer as soon as you stop dancing around my question.

		<description>This is a compromise by the Republicans. They won&#039;t allow women to have equal rights, so they will at least give rights to their fetuses.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;shoeless Says:

Well ralph, she is just going to pretend that deaths are not investigated because that is the only way to avoid the sticky ramifications of McCain&#039;s extremist viewpoint.

When McCain establishes rights for fetuses, the police forces will need special Abortion Prevention Squads. All women who become pregnant will have to register with the authorities so they can be closely monitored throughout their terms in order to make sure they do not induce a miscarriage.&lt;/em&gt;

Can you imagine the time-off with pay women would get?</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;good_golly2 Says:

I understand the feeble point you are trying to make, but it is meaningless. If the death of an adult is induced with poison, it cannot be considered a “natural death.” Yet, not every apparently natural death is considered suspicious and not every apparently natural death is investigated.

But whether or not someone gets caught has nothing to do with the basic question you keep avoiding.

When do human rights begin, and why?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Gigi, why do you keep repeating this:

&lt;em&gt;not every apparently natural death is considered suspicious and not every apparently natural death is investigated.&lt;/em&gt;

 as if it dismisses the reality that some apparently natural deaths ARE considered suspicious and are investigated?

Again I ask (not expecting a cogent answer, but still, I ask):

Do you dismiss the possibility that some women will seek to induce a miscarriage and disguise it as a natural cause?

Should we let these women get away with murdering these human beings?</description>

		<description>Nice deflection, good_goony 2.0!  Even I couldn&#039;t imagine you&#039;d come up with an alternate definition of &quot;contraception&quot;.

Let&#039;s go to Websters!

&lt;em&gt;the deliberate prevention of conception or impregnation by any of various drugs, techniques, or devices; birth control.&lt;/em&gt; 

So, again, I ask rather simply, is contraception abortion?</description>

		<description>As usual, gg2 ignores the point. If the miscarriage is induced, then it cannot be considered a &quot;natural death&quot;. Therefore every miscarriage would be suspicious, and would have to be investigated. Understand now?</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;good_golly2 Says:
So, when do human rights begin, and why?&lt;/blockquote&gt;



Gigi, let&#039;s focus here:

first we&#039;ll deal with your preferred scenario (Human rights begin at conception for the fetus), then we&#039;ll deal with our positions on the question. Deal?

So, given your position that human rights begin at conception (which would necessarily outlaw abortion, as you favor), how does one deal with a miscarriage during pregnancy?

Certainly, one must consider the possibility that it was a spontaneous, natural occurrence -- God&#039;s own abortion, let&#039;s say -- but one must always consider the possibility that it was induced by deliberate physical stress or chemical ingestion or some other inventive method. In such cases as these, surely one would have to consider the miscarriage as murder. And it would have to be investigated and prosecuted as such, no?

Thanks for your prompt attention to this urgent consequence of your position.</description>

		<description>Apparently, Gigi cannot read, or is willfully ignorant.

She ignores the several answers she has already received, at the same time that she refuses to address the issue I brought up with her -- namely, the realization that, if one defines &quot;Human Rights&quot; as beginning with conception, as Gigi seeks to do, then one must confront the legal consequences of induced miscarriages that are disguised as spontaneous ones.

Without the legal option of abortion, some women who haven&#039;t planned on becoming mothers are going to take measures to see that their pregnancies don&#039;t go full term. Since, under Gigi&#039;s and McSame&#039;s regime these fetuses would be considered live human beings, these acts would have to be considered murder, right?

So how does the law then determine which miscarriages are natural causes and which are murder?

They must be investigated.

Can Gigi explain how one can get around investigating every miscarriage as a potential crime, if a fetus is a human being with full human rights from the moment of conception?

I don&#039;t see a way around it.</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Apparently, Gigi cannot read, or is willfully ignorant.</p>
<p>She ignores the several answers she has already received, at the same time that she refuses to address the issue I brought up with her &#8212; namely, the realization that, if one defines &#8220;Human Rights&#8221; as beginning with conception, as Gigi seeks to do, then one must confront the legal consequences of induced miscarriages that are disguised as spontaneous ones.</p>
<p>Without the legal option of abortion, some women who haven&#8217;t planned on becoming mothers are going to take measures to see that their pregnancies don&#8217;t go full term. Since, under Gigi&#8217;s and McSame&#8217;s regime these fetuses would be considered live human beings, these acts would have to be considered murder, right?</p>

		<description>According to some of these nut cases a human isn&#039;t a human until they are baptized or some other hokus pokus.  Please keep your religious $hit off my dinner plate.</description>

		<description>(YAWN)

Does anyone here ever notice that good_goony 2.0 posts a lot of fluff, without really saying anything?

Let&#039;s see if she can answer this one simple question without deflecting to another topic:
Is contraception considered abortion?</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;shoeless Says:

good_golly2 Says:

As for your question, a spontaneous miscarriage is treated as a death by natural causes.

The woman&#039;s body rejects the fetus, causing it to die. She did not intend to kill it, but she did. Therefore, it is unintentional manslaughter.&lt;/em&gt;

It should be called a spontaneous abortion. And they are counted as abortions.

shoeless makes a better argument.</description>

		<description>The fact that McCain said “I was trying to hear through the wall” is a lie. Nicolle Wallace, a spokeswoman for McCain said &quot;The insinuation from the Obama campaign that John McCain, a former prisoner of war, cheated is outrageous.&quot; Notice how the trotted out the POW defense.
