Miscarriage = baby; Abortion = "mass of cells"

[robert68]

Obviously a parent who kicks their kid out of the house and tells them to fend for themselves does not consent to parental responsibilities. That lack of consent doesn't remove the obligations.

The consent I was referring to had already taken place. Also, a child is not better off being raised by a parent who would do that.

This is a major misconception. The "clump of cells" thing mostly comes from the argument over embryonic stem cell research. Most pro and anti abortion folks agree that a fetus is not "just a mass of cells". The opposite can be said about some extreme pro-lifers calling this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Gray40.png a child. I'm not denying that it is not a form of life, I'm just saying calling it a "child" is a bit of a far stretch. Both portray the subject at hand differently depending on the argument they wish to make.

Welcome to the world of politics? Someone made a topic on these word games a while ago.

This would make an awesome name for a Christian rock (or punk) band. "Clump of Cells"

Get that straight or your chick will argue your brains out.

Reminds me of a song from Bride (on their numetal album) called "Beginning of the End," with the 'classy' lyrics "Politics are assassins, and doctors fill the graves." Too bad it's not on youtube and I actually paid for it.

Just to add on to my previous post... I think this is another alternative that would be helpful: http://www.buzzle.com/articles/artificial-womb.html

We're all a mass of cells, so with that logic, anyone should be able to be aborted by their mother at any time.
