101. No, that is not what I compared...
...I established that when a premature "entity" comes out of the womb at 5 months and is sustained through medical assistance, we do in fact it a "human being". The commenter tried to assert that we should not call the fetus a human being until the mother gives birth, arguing (in short) that it is just a parasitic cluster of cells.

That I am male has nothing to do with this. I believe I should speak out against the killing of people in Iraq, and that has nothing to do with being male either.

In stating that you will terminate this discussion with me just because I am male, I would ask for you to consider whether you are treating me with a similar form of bigotry that you assume all men have when they want to protect the innocent lives of babies. Men can and should defend the innocent lives of those being massacred elsewhere around the world such as Iraqi women, men, and children, and there is no exception to the current subject either based on gender.
