Beautiful pictures. Wish you didn't ruin it all by adding "I know they are not really living people until they are born, just globs of tissue"

You have good things about you, don't we all, but you're still a jerk.

Thanks for calling me a jerk ann. I have yet to express my opinion of you.

Especially over a belief. That is very tolerant of you. You should seek some diversity in belief systems. You (may) have a rigid belief system that is archaic and inflexible. Maybe, maybe not.

We're all just globs of flesh even after we're born.

What I objected to was your snarky editorializing. Sneaky too. You move around a point to get to your point. You seem to be under the impression that your weak sarcasm gets you somewhere. It doesn't. That's enough analyzing, I don't hold a psychology degree.

I'm not interested in your opinion of me.

You don't know or believe any such thing, so why say it? Say instead "This shows me they are living people (at least in this stage in the womb) & not just globs of tissue." I know you probably wouldn't include what I wrote in the parentheses, but to state your opinion honestly is all I'm asking of you.

He does just what Ahso does: takes a story only peripherally related to his pet cause and twists it to serve his purposes. It's ugly when Ahso does it and it's ugly now.

I have many that get very upset at my arguments over abortion. They are upset that I do not tote the party line as I am expected. I am really struggling with the arguments I have (myself) used over the years to justify this. As I can no longer go with the flow because it is the party line", I get attacked. I simply refuse to continue to let the pursuit of truth get crushed because it is a party line.

The argument about "globs of tissue" is usually a fall back that I have used when justifying the "right" to choose of which I believe in. I can no longer support this argument as it is completely false. The same as with the argument of "fear" in which "mother's health" or "incest / rape"....both arguments are dead as those cases are allowed in many conditions and the Plan B program for early termination is completely legal.

I am struggling with my peers' continuous adherence to the party line while they refuse to see any Truths other than what they cling to as truth. They somehow believe I am defecting and abandoning the right of a woman to choose. Not necessarily so, but the attacks are savage to include name calling and various other angry actions.

I find these images beautiful as I find life itself beautiful. Although the world is not always fair, I believe we say much as a society as to how we treat those who cannot fend for themselves. Will we look back upon this practice with the same disdain and guilt as slavery? Slavery was acceptable world-wide when we as a society allowed it. Those speaking against it were shunned, demonized, ridiculed, murdered, and worse. Now we all find it a black mark on history.

Sorry to have ruffled feathers, but someone telling me this beautiful child is just a blob of tissue until it is fully born is reprehensible. As much as slavery or human trafficking. Reprehensible.

Happy Sunday and I hope everyone has a great day!

So it was all a windup, then. That makes everything you post in the future completely meaningless since it might be complete hogwash.

I expected nothing but an attack from you snooze.

I have regarded your comments as much from the start. No loss.

Fascinating technology.

You could have enjoyed a productive conversation about a miraculous technology and the beauty it revealed. Instead, you opted to use it to bait people.

If you want an argument over abortion, I suggest you start a thread in the area specifically made for it (Abortion) and name it something other than "stunning images from the UK." You might find a better reception.

Who was baited? I presented a great article and threw in a bit of my opinion. Free to do that, or did I violate a rule to get ann to call me a JERK?

What a bunch of panties being bound into cracks.

Lighten up people. I won't even attack or call you names.

The technology is incredible, life is beautiful;. And I love strawberries. Oooops, baiting with a crack about fruit! Oh my.

This is too funny to watch. >refraining from inserting names and accusations here<.

No, you didn't violate a rule to get Ann to call you a jerk. You were being a jerk to get Ann to call you a jerk. I apologize for having wasted your time.

No worries. I can stoop to that level.

probably get an admin excited over that post, but calling me a jerk as a first response is acceptable?

F@ck ann too. Wow. I see how you two enjoy this 3rd grade playground. It's kind of fun.

Not surprising. I think you can figure it out if you concentrate real hard.

Cute babies.
