162. Anarchist
Cupcake,

By your logic, you would support the right for child rape even though you were personally against it. You would support the right of someone to harm one your family members even though you were personally against it? I'm using these examples to illustrate the flaws in your reasoning.

Plug some different words into your argument, "Personally I support slavery, but I wouldn't own one myself."

Is this truly how you see yourself? Even if right now you don't see an embryo as a human being, you certainly recognize that it is a destructive act - an act of violence against a "thing." That "thing" happens to grow into a child.

I apologize if I'm twisting or mis-interpreting your reasoning. If I've read you wrong, please clarify.
