I see. (So much for debate.)
Yes, because me replying to everything you said was me ignoring your post... How profound!

Your opinion of others' arguments is subjective--meaning it's individual to you. It is not fact, yet you stated it as if it was. How many more ways can I spell it out for you?

Play doctor? Perhaps you'd like to tell me how this situation calls for such a childish "metaphor." I was pointing out that if you're going to criticize my debate style based on your own opinion, perhaps it would help to get the terms right...

By what stretch of the imagination do you put abortion on the same footing as drug dealing? By what stretch of the law do you consider a girl getting an abortion a criminal?
Pathetic debate when you completely misunderstand and then misinterpret my argument. I never attempted to "equate" what is currently legal with what isn't. I told you that society cannot physically force anyone to do or not do anything, so your point is a moot one. Society cannot physically force someone to stop smoking cigarettes, society cannot force someone to stop drinking, society can encourage them to stop, and society can point out how stupid, immoral and dangerous such activities are, but society cannot force someone to stop. And in the case of abortion, when there is a human being actually being murdered because of a selfish decision, society can take it further and implement consequences for such an irresponsible choice, just like any other immoral action.

Oh so you agree. Good. What exactly were you hoping to prove with that? You either just negated your entire position, or failed to even get an attempted rebuttal across. If that was you conceding the point, sobeit. If that was cynicism, it was completely and utterly pointless because it was a one-liner and you failed to elaborate.
