Still incongruent.
Anyway, thank you kindly for the polite dialogue.

As if two humans can reproduce something other than another human 😀
I studied Buddhism about 20 years ago after getting into the works of Barry Long and read the Tibetan Book of the Dead.
My memory is that there is no God in Buddhism, i.e., nothing objective outside of man as a source for morality.
Am I correct?
Understood. Thank you for the polite dialogue.
I restated the position using analogies.
In regards to person, it's a person.

Is what I said true or false?
70% of pregnancies result in the birth of a child.
100% of abortions result in the birth of a dead child.
Banning abortion increases the percentage of children who are not killed by abortion.
A foetus is a child, and that child is killed by abortion.
An abortion would be deemed a failure of the child survived the procedure.

The Catholic Church is already the biggest healthcare provided in the world, managing 26% of healthcare provision and facilities.
Also, the first every Hospital was setup by Catholics.
You're welcome.
I'm not Jewish, though I heard Jewish food is lovely.
Abortion violates the principle of double effect.

You are predicating your rebuttal on emotions and health, which is an accidental form but not a substantial form.
The substantial form of the foetus and pregnant child is that of human being.
"You can never undo a rape".
That was my point, thank you.
Sorry, yes you made a valid point.
I would rebut that the value of the foetus and pregnant child are equal, e.g., sanctity of life ethic.
You may be referring to the quality of life ethic.
Incongruent with the fact a foetus is a baby.
Cancer and viruses are not human beings.
Biblical creation took places prior to the creation of man, so of course there were no witnesses to it - there were no people.
C'mon mate, I know you're smarter than that.
I don't think a refutation of Cartesian theatre proves the existence of God.
This, however, does.

Certain groups have always dehumanised other groups in order to justify committing unjust acts against that group.
A DNA test can take place on a foetus.
I'm inclined to agree, e.g., morals were required for early communities to survive.
I'm also inclined to suggest those morals were subjective rather than objective until God gave provided a model for objective morality.
Which religion in particular?
Is Buddhism predicated something objective or subjective?
You're confusing the part with the sum of the parts, e.g., a hand is also human material but not a human being.
It's a human being from the moment two haploids fuse to form a diploid organism, i.e., conception (Source: Carnegie stage 1a development).

It's not up for opinion, though. It is a child. Sperm isn't a human being.
They always conflate the part with the sum of the parts.
It's the most basic logical reasoning, yet it's beyond the cognitive abilities of most pro-aborts.
Foetus refers to a human being at a particular age & level of development.

You answered correctly.
False.
My argument was predicated on the justness of killing a child.
