So, why the reminder? Are you trying to demonize your opponent by implying something that is not true?...that your opponent doesn't grant all humans basic human rights?
Do you grant all humans the same basic rights? Or, do you draw lines based on "distinguishing characteristics?"
Intestingly, it sounds like you think they are less than fully human, because you seem to think that they are slaves to their proclivities...you have labeled mere proclivities as "distinguishing characteristics" which seems, well, harsh. They are fully human, you know. They do have an intellect, and a will. They are much, much more than their proclivities. I would hardly call a proclivity a "distinguishing characteristic."
I'm curious: Do you think unborn humans are entitled to the same human rights as any other person? Or, do they lose those rights because of the distinguishing characteristic of being too young? You can say start a new thread about that (your favorite diversion on this issue), but if you do, I will assume that you do think it is ok to withhold basic human rights based on distinguishing characteristics. As for me? I don't think that.
