First of all, Yes, they are

Second, all I said was that you admitted to not knowing what morals are.
You honestly need to see a psycologist if you have that issue, no hate I'm actually giving advice

if religion were moral they would have simply fed the starving, not tortured them with starvation for not converting.

a sperm is a living being that results in a full human life IF the person did what god intended and landed it on an egg. since you not only didn't fulfill the last part, you already denied the life of a child AND you killed the sperm.
0 ups, 3y
Oh, now its safe to bring God into it?

First, biology- any biologist will tell you that a sperm does not have the full genetic code required to reproduce and develop into a human. Neither does a lone egg. Otherwise, women would be inadvertently commiting murder every time they have a period. It is only when a man and a women both make a specific choice to have sex and let the sperm fertilize the egg that a life is brought into existence.

If you want God involved, sperm do not have souls, but fetuses do! If it's a human soul that defines a life, which is a pretty good line in the sand to draw, then no argument that a fetus is not a human holds ANY water.

0 ups, 3y,

sure! game on! any scientific evidence of a soul's existence?

a sperm is "half" the code, half the life. You're still a killer when you spill seed, only you deserve half the punishment of killing a fully conceived human.
0 ups, 3y
I wasn't saying the soul is proved by human scientists. You brought God into this, and I was saying why abortion is even more wrong given the existence of God.

Now onto a sperm: A sperm is a living cell, but not yet human. Spilling seed would be comparable to cutting tiny pieces of a tree off. It only creates a human life with human rights once it fertilizes an egg. Otherwise, getting the snip or just existing too long would be a bunch of half murders, as you say.

Biden was right there are religious conservatives who do suck the blood out of babies. These practices have been going on for a very long time and I don't think you would consider religious people to be liberals.
0 ups, 3y
He said some conservatives think he's sucking the blood out of children. Either way, this was just a joke. I know he doesn't suck blood out of children lol

A sperm is not a conceived child. You are the one that needs to talk to a biologist.

Nobody likes abortion silly. but it's necessary. Just like hunting or eating meat from the grocery store.

Nobody's forcing you to have an abortion. But the average woman only has one in her whole life. You need to get something better to do with your time like appreciate science more.

Life begins at masturbation. You're killing a living sperm which is half a life. You should go to jail for 50% of the time as killing a fully live person.

Nobody is forcing a woman to have an abortion, but I know for sure that it's being forced on the child being killed. Whatever happened to the left claiming to stand up for the little guy?
0 ups, 3y
As I said before, it is still a living stage of human development just like a child, teen, or adult

I'm done. You're bloodlust for children is beyond reason

Is seriousness, though, there are people who celebrate abortions:
