So you would agree with me when I said Quote "Clearly you haven't a clue what an embryo is but thanks for sharing your totally unscientific, inaccurate view with everyone." To someone who said this to me: Quote "Straw-man. It is not a baby nor a proper developed embryo. People forget the abortion law is under extreme constraints. It is not about killing babies willy nilly as some people like you would like to posit. Straw-manning is all you are doing."

Quote Foetus’ is generally taken to mean the embryo from 8 weeks (56days) post fertilisation to birth. https://embryo-ethics.smd.qmul.ac.uk/tutorials/embryo-and-the-law/english-law-foetus/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Note Not sure where this came from, since the quotes aren't attributed, but this sounds like discussing another discussion. If you can't defend your arguments there, don't open other threads to hedge your failures to persuade. It's an intellectually dishonest practice. Thread closed.
