[Vision2020] Half-Cocked on Abortion

[ToeKneeTime at aol.com]

Nick,
 
It was a JOKE, Nick.  A JOKE.  A play on words?  You know, a  reference to 
premature eja..... well, you know.
Don't know if my tongue was a little too far into my cheek on that one, or  
if your a little slow on the uptake....  time will tell.
 
You do tend rather heavily toward condescension, Dear Professor.  Too  many 
years in the classroom where your every edict was law, I suppose.   Yes, I have 
been civil toward you Nick, but you have chosen to reciprocate with  sarcasm 
and a feigned superiority.  There really is nothing worse than an  
intellectual snob...
 
As for abortion, I hope you don't mind if I rely on some other sources than  
yourself?  To say that this practice should continue because it has been  
tolerated in the past is logically bankrupt.  After all, our moral,  religious and 
legal tradition upheld slavery and the subjugation of woman until  all too 
recently.  Sounds like your prone to an occasional misfire  yourself, Professor.
 
As far as the nature of the human soul and consciousness is concerned, I  
said that someday we will come to a better understanding of these things and  
when /how they are encoded.  We don't yet have that knowledge.  But  then, no 
doubt you've covered this brilliantly in some past paper.  One  doesn't have to 
be a brain surgeon or even a philosophy professor to grasp that  a fetus is 
human.  If left unmolested, it does not grow into a microwave  oven.  It does not 
emerge from the womb as a chest of drawers.  It  emerges as a human being, 
Nick.  A beautiful, innocent, bright eyed  baby.  That is, of course if it is 
not ripped apart and tossed into a trash  can by the more callous among us...
 
Nice try though Professor, it sure SOUNDED impressive.
 
Locked and loaded,  Tony
