Is being Liberal a bad thing?

More like until around the beginning of the third trimester when it starts having a functioning brain.

To me it's the same morally but let me ask you this, you are against abortions after that point?

[guff]

i'm a values voter

So is cancer.

That was almost as bad as my carrot analogy

cancer isn't going to potentially lead a meaningful life. it's just gonna kill someone.

Unless there is a real reason such as giving birth causing death to the mother or it being found that the child would have a low possibility of actually surviving, no.

Except I'm not the one who is pro-life

If you're going to live life based on something's potential you might as well stop eating and start having sex as much as possible.

One of your sperms might have the potential to develop into a president, you don't want to miss that chance.  You don't want to eat. The thing you eat might be the one that furthers the species' evolution. You don't want that.

Of course it's impossible to salvage every single thing possible of being a benefit, but to blatantly kill something that can be a HUGE benefit is something you can avoid.

How can you be so sure that it would be a "huge benefit"?

You mean yes?

as long as it doesn't grow up to be a mass murderer, I consider any human life to be a huge benefit.
