I just asked a question on abortion and all I'm getting is "its legal from a few libs". Where is your superior reasoning?

Superior reasoning from a lib is an oxymoron.

Actually, Jeff, you should go back to your question and reread the answers. There are several very intelligent answers posted. By the way, just because you don't agree with an answer does not mean that it is unintelligent. There are plenty of good answers on both sides of the issue.

Personhood at conception is a religious belief, not a provable biological fact. Mormon and some Fundamentalist churches believe in personhood at conception; Judaism holds that it begins at birth and abortion is not murder; ensoulment theories vary widely within Protestantism. The religious community will never reach consensus on the definition of a "person" or when abortion is morally justified.
"Pro-abortion" is inaccurate, as it implies favoring abortion over childbirth. We support reproductive freedom, which means that an individual woman should be able to make her own choice.
The "pro-life" concerns of abortion foes are only for fetal lives, not the lives of women or unwanted babies. "Pro-life" is a term used to make anti-abortion and anti-choice seem positive and good.
Laws have never stopped abortion, but only relegated it to back-alley butchers. The hypocrisy is clear: when illegal abortion was the leading killer of pregnant women in the U.S., there was no Right to Life (RTL) organization.
The fetus is totally dependent on the body of the woman for its life support and is physically attached to her by the placenta and umbilicus. The health of the fetus is directly related to the health of the pregnant woman. Only at birth are they separate.
Legislation cannot create morality. Prohibition did not stir moral outrage against drinking; it stirred outrage against Prohibition itself, and promoted widespread disrespect for all laws.
Most Americans reject the absolutist position that it is always wrong to terminate a pregnancy and believe that abortion may be the morally right choice under certain circumstances.

We could philosophize till the day is done. However, when truth comes to light abortion is legal and it will remain legal. You all had your chances with an Conservative President and Congress.

Is that too difficult for you to understand? It is legal, if you don't like it work to change the law.

Whine?
Maybe no one wants to read your questions. It's not that we don't want to answer.. .it's that we're sick of hearing the same old arguments from people like you.
