    The announcement of a "clump of cells" resulting from the fertilization of an egg from a sperm cell is a joyous moment.

    Your silly arguments are just cringeworthy to read. You know, every goddamned living creature on the planet is technically "a clump of cells." You and I are a clump of cells. So's a hippo, a frog, a jackrabbit and even Donald Trump. Just because we're cell-structured doesn't mean that we're not also something else that those cells form.

    And a living human fetus with a beating heart is also something else. Whether it's yet a human being or not is certainly debatable. But, for god's sake, quit saying it's "just" clump of cells as if it can be nothing else. It's a buffoonish simple-headed argument that just makes you look dumb.

    "Whether it's a human being or not is certainly debatable."

    If "it's" not a human being, then what is "it", then?

    Not to mention, but the clump of cells I refer to is inside another clump of cells.

    Like I've said, you are, of course, free to choose otherwise. Choice is a wonderful thing, ain't it?

    Yep. A movie which is shockingly, stunningly, nowhere to be found anywhere on any streaming service.

    Very similar to "A Face In The Crowd," which is amazingly hard to find.

    Hmmmm.

    I didn't say it's not a human being, I said that question is certainly debatable. As for what to call it, I guess it depends on your views. Lefties call it a fetus, righties often prefer baby--either choice is eminently better than saying it's "just" a cell clump as if that means it can be nothing else. There's no other cell-structured thing on the planet that people merely call a cell clump, instead we call them by the living things those cells form. And I see no reason to break with that rule to suit a dim childish argument technique.

    I called it "a collection of cells that potentially could become a baby."

    Not if you end up a dead baby.

    How can it be a dead baby if it wasn't viable to begin with?

    Has Baron ever sent a congratulatory card to women who get an abortion?

    Should at least acknowledge any friends who have miscarriages with a thumbs-up on Facebook.

    No. I fully am sympathetic with any woman who suffers a miscarriage. Why? Because they've chosen (there's that word again) to become emotionally attached to their fetus.

    It's all about choice. A concept that you fail to comprehend.
