No. I'm stating that the number of doctors does not at all qualify the veracity of their prescriptions.

The one doctor could be correct, and the other nine, wrong. The consensus of nine doctors doesn't qualify the prescription of the one doctor. 

If doctors were always right, malpractice insurance wouldn't exist.

When they are wrong, how does a person know if they don't exercise their personal agency?

Second opinions do exist for this very reason.

Imagine 4 out of 5 doctors say there's no treatment for a certain cancer or other illness. Are you going to stick to your guns about that "consensus opinion" even if it means certain death? It's absolute bullshit to live and operate with no agency, not to mention usually fatal. Nobody rational and sane who has the means to evaluate personal risk would do that.

I've noted that your argument is a baseless, racial attack on white people. After that, I stated that you're anti-white and hate white people. The labels of you came as a result of addressing your argument (which was really a bare assertion), hence none of what I wrote was Ad hominem.

You've made racially hateful comments against white people LOL.

You realize that people can scroll up and see how much of a hypocrite you are, in asking for others to be "civilised?"

Reece: [verbally abusing white people]

Others: Wow. You're verbally abusing white people.

Reece: Don't say that. Let's be civilised.

Yeah. Why do you make racially hateful comments against white people? Also, why do you consistently post some of the most stupid comments on this website?

Objective truth based on experience is equal to nonsense because objective experience is impossible and experience is not objective. Anything we consider true, based on experience, are, at most, subjective truths.

if somebody called me that to my face, they would not be walking away

Anyone that takes a look at this thread will find that I have had respectful dialogues with those who advocate pro-choice policies, even when there have been challenges to my view. You need to ask yourself why I do not show the same respect to you, and the answer is obvious. I have no reason to show respect to those that strawman what I say.

Your opinion is wrong, but less wrong, sort of, than the person you're arguing with.

So you would ban morning after pills?

Yes, unless I see a good reason otherwise.

Also anything with human DNA is human.

That is absolutely a false statement. I know of no biologist that takes that position that a cell with human DNA = a human.

 doesn’t mean it’s meaningfully conscious.

Is that a necessary qualifier?

The car’s completely self-driving though. The only thing she did was to hop in the car. Would you still say it’s her responsibility?

What is the 'self-driving car' in the analogy and how does it relate to the analogy provided? Are you saying women are incapable of saying no to sex (as that is the only thing that makes sense if you are trying to keep the analogy consistent with one I provided)?

You haven’t been around many pregnant women. 

I have, but I do not classify it as 'torture'. Is it painful at times? Yes, sometimes extremely painful. Is it uncomfortable at times? Yes. But to use the word torture in a question about pregnancy is almost like a loaded question.

 it seems like you’re also talking about duty to have children.

Where do you get that impression from anything I said? Are you actually responding to my arguments or are you assuming that I am arguing the same way as other pro-lifers?

What punishments would there be? What people would you be helping?

Same punishment as neglect (or murder if a harsher punishment is deemed necessary) if one is found guilty, and it is protecting the unborn.

• When would you give it rights? At moment of conception? Heartbeat (which is pretty ambiguous)?
  

The moment it is a developing human, which would likely be the moment of conception.

When it comes to women being responsible for getting pregnant, what do you mean exactly? For having sex? Accidents do accrue when it comes to protection. And the reproductive system is completely autonomic

Yes, for having sex. It goes to the analogy with the driver and vehicular manslaughter. Just because it is an accident or unintended does not mean there isn't responsibility.

• Should men be held equally responsible; as in torture them too?
  

Men should be responsible (hence where child care comes into play, but I think this should start while pregnant to help cover medical costs during pregnancy), but what do you mean torture? Men and women are biologically different, thus the types of responsibilities they hold would be different.

• Would you surveil?
  

No, and if a miscarriage happens it is assumed natural unless there is reason given to think otherwise (just as when a newborn dies of SIDS it isn't assumed to be murder). This would mean that people likely could get illegal abortions and get away with it, but there is no such thing as stopping all crime or helping all people, doesn't mean you give up.

The former University President.

Let's hope that they were squeaky clean then.

And the old statue was replaced so quickly, that the new one must have been waiting in the wings somewhere.

How's that for clever marketing.

Incite a riot (easily done in Bristol) and then say hey I just happen to have a lovely statue that will fit there a treat.

Progressives hey.

Nothing progressive about mob violence and vandalism.

So what's the new monument then?

Over here in Bristol, they knocked down a racist statue and replaced it with a racist statue.....D'oh.

Would it matter if the rock was removed due to other reasons than it being traditionally called “N*****head

It costs money to remove a 6 ton rock. Even if the rock was shouting the n word at people. It should still stay there. It has freedom of speech.

the news certainly reported that, while hospitals slowly shut down due to not having enough patients, and nurses did tik tok videos with all their free time at work.
