Legal Death, Legal Life, Personhood and Abortion
We already have a thread about these issues, that was based on an essay that RAZD wrote. I think it's at least an excellent place for you to start. You may want to respond to that thread, or read responses elicited by RAZD.
Please take a look there first. The argument presented there is detailed very well.
Claim: The zygote is not a person. Challenge: Support or oppose the position without a religious based argument.
Remember, to be clear, be short.
When posting, you should also present your position in your OP, which you do not. Not a simple statement, but an actual argument. That's missing. It's not the job of other people to support your position for you.
If you're asking a question, then you shouldn't be forwarding any "claim" in your post or your thread title. If you're taking a position, then you should support your position in your opening post.
My suggestion is "The Great Debate"
Just FYI, the "Great Debate" forum is for 1-on-1 debate only. You challenge someone to a 1-on-1 debate, and if they accept, then you request a couple of admins to oversee the debate, you establish some basic rules, and then you rumble. A winner and loser will be declared at the end.
Thanks.
