APPENDIX A. TALK.ABORTION: AUGUST 9, 1994 151<br />

>Prove that a >=3 month fetus is a sentient human being and not simply<br />

>a bag of tissues with <strong>the</strong> potential to _become_ a human being.<br />

Prove to me that you are a sentient human being and not just a bag<br />

of tissues with a somewhat complex system of organization (or for that<br />

matter a computer program cleverly trained to mimic a human pro-choicer).<br />

We are all just bags of tissues, friend.<br />

BTW, are you endorsing restrictions on post-first-trimester abortions?<br />

Simply put, this group wishes by government action to compel<br />

doctors to preserve human life. When <strong>the</strong> law did so, doctors<br />

and quacks illegally performed procedures that undeniably<br />

eliminated human lives for convenience or economics or something<br />

else. This group doesn’t wish to compel women to breed. By<br />

her own actions, <strong>the</strong> woman’s life is undeniably altered whe<strong>the</strong>r<br />

or not she aborts or brings <strong>the</strong> child to term.<br />

retarded? What if <strong>the</strong> child gets D’s in school? Not only should we<br />

repeal all <strong>the</strong> child abuse laws and child murder laws, because children
