Every president moves to pardon "convicted" criminals. The number is irrelevant, the nature of the crimes being pardoned is what matters.

God is not great.
There is no god.
Evil men under the guise of their so-called God are the proliferators of the false message of a false deity created by men to control mankind through violence and fear of eternal damnation.
The monotheistic version of religion has been a plague upon mankind upon its inception.
The first and most effective psyop campaign ever devised by man.
Men have always used the unknown to scare the crap out of the ignorant, weaponizing their own ignorance to foster intense fear that made their submission all the easier to the "church" (of men).

By all means - take one argument the author made and let’s explore it in depth, but it’s very difficult to have a meaningful conversation or debate over a one sided attack on a bunch of arguments that are unclear if you have correctly represented.
Each italicized quote is word for word from his book. It is not paraphrased. All his words. I merely chose not to note page numbers. But I have my list of quotes used with page numbers, so I can refer back to it for you if needs be. What use would it be though, if you do not own the book. Or do you?
Each quote is correctly represented. It would be dishonest to do otherwise.
You pick an argument I've made rebutting that racist elitist, and let's explore it in depth.

Probably a love musical to establish the psychotic love affair between the Joker and Quinn.

->@TWS1405The entire argument you make hinges on dehumanizing the preborn before the point of viability (22 weeks).Human life only begins at viability is a simplistic argument and I don't buy it.Define human life. Make the semantic distinctions and provide the prenatal evidence that supports not calling this thing human.Pro-lifers base their argument on the humanity of the embryo/fetus/unborn. Pro-choicer denies the humanity of the unborn. Quite frankly, I'm not sure if there is a good measure. Nor do I think most people possess the qualifications to accurately answer the question.
Wrong. I am not dehumanizing the pregnancy.
We all know it is human in origin with the potential to become an actual human being.
Nowhere did I ever state that "human life only begins at viability," that's your strawman version.
No, you define human life. You clearly do not understand it, so show us why by incorrectly (or correctly) defining it.
Also, I never ever implied that "this thing" is "not" human. In fact, I have repeated stated it is human in origin, but being human in origin does not equate to being [a] human being. A decapitated head (or any removed body part) of a woman (or man) found at a crime scene with no body is clearly human in origin, but it doesn't make that human head = to [a] human being, now does it!! No, it does NOT!
Definition of humanity
1: compassionate, sympathetic, or generous behavior or disposition : the quality or state of being humanebespeaking humanity for the enemy in the midst of a bloody struggle— C. G. Bowers
Where in those definition of "humanity" does a pregnancy fit within? It doesn't. Cannot deny what isn't there.

->@TWS1405The issue/matter/reality of abortion is solely a human being issueWhy?
It is a uniquely human issue/matter/reality because it only relates to human beings.
Non-homo sapiens do not worry about population control, crime, single parent households, the 18-year legal obligation to raise a child (cloth, feed and educate it), being financially stable and/or psychologically ready, let alone the factors going on in the world that could impact that child's life as it grows older and lives in the real world. In fact, non-homo sapiens just don't "worry" at all. They operate on instinct when it comes to procreation, never any desire on par with human beings to procreate and raise a family within a nuclear structure.

Well, as a conservative pro-choicer....I see your point.
I have no issue with abortion up to viability. If a woman cannot decide by the 20th week, then hands off. She should carry to term.
Since 90-94% of all abortions are before 14 weeks, I have no issue with that for the sake of the girl/woman to continue with their life for a better future for themselves; working toward that point where they would be in a far better financial and psychology state/position to properly raise a healthy law abiding citizen.

@Public-Choice
This depends on the definition of white privilege. For the purposes of my response, I will be using the following definition from Merriam Websters Dictionary:"the set of social and economic advantages that white people have by virtue of their race (see RACE entry 1 sense 1a) in a culture characterized by racial inequality." [1]The crux of this definition relies on privileges being tied SOLELY to a racial advantage. E.G. getting or having special treatment due to skin color.The fact of the matter is, such treatment exists. But it is not systemic.
First, excellent posting you made here. Much appreciated. I will start with the above...
Everyone, including the definition, refers to advantages without really defining said advantages.
By virtue of skin color, one gets special treatment...what special treatment is there for being white?
I worked for everything I have. I retired early because I made smart decisions. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING was handed to me through some measure of special "advantages" or "special treatment" because of the color of my skin.
To be honest, it was a black man who helped my career in the military who saw my potential. While one of his subordinates, another black man, tried to hurt my career because he was racist against whites.
Another black man I served with on the drug team under C.I.D. came to my office one day and said to me, "What's up my N***r" It shocked me, and I asked, "What did you call me?" He repeated himself and said we were friends, and it was okay that I referred to him as the same. I told him I would not and explained why. He appreciated it.
That being said, I saw far more "advantages" and "special treatment" for people of color in the Army than any given towards whites.
Even in normal society people of color get far more advantages and special treatment than whites, as you duly noted.

What happens if a sensitive snowflake runs around telling everyone that because their ego is hurt as an ex-cop, they need to post racist stuff about black criminality and insult everybody on the other side until they feel they have their point across?What happens if a sensitive snowflake lashes out at others and when they get offended, is so sensitive to them blocking him that said snowflake needs a real good cry, huff and puff about it?I don't know what's up with these special snowflakes, I prefer my snowflakes ordinary and dull because I am a proudly normal and boring chunk of snow and ice.
Not a snowflake. Just passionate and direct. People often confuse passion and directness for anger when that couldn't be any further from the truth.
No one is capable of hurting my ego, no one.
Nothing I have posted is racist. Truth does NOT = racism.
There is method to my madness. By being overly direct, it is I that am testing you all, not the other way around.
You blocking me then making your sophomoric banal personal attacks is what I wanted to see. Same for others who respond to my directness. It shows me who has the patience, determination and perseverance to actually want to engage in certain topics and not just run off wasting everyone else's time. Like you.

-->@TWS140595% of biologists believe human life begins at fertilization, regardless of political belief or stance on abortion. [1]
I agree, and it should be 100% of biologists. The basic biological criteria for life is met at conception. Every living cell in the human organism meets the same definition. But just because [a] cell is biologically alive, does not mean that that cell = [a] human being.
Additionally, the four qualities of life are present shortly following fertilization. These four qualities are: growth, reproduction, metabolism, and response to stimuli. [2]
Again, I agree. Still doesn't make it [a] human being.
Thirdly, the known medical science has found that a baby has it's own completed human DNA the moment of fertilization. [2]
Irrelevant. DNA merely identifies the origin of the biological material and/or organism.
When forensic scientists test biological matter collected from a crime scene, they look to identify it. DNA is one of those ways. Once identified a blood sample or organic tissue came from a human being, it does not make that sample or tissue [a] human being just because it has its own unique DNA, now does it!
Based on this, abortion is definitely killing a baby. But, legally, it would not be wrong to call it murder in certain cases since it fits with the definition of murder in the U.S. Code:
No, abortion is not killing [a] baby. The use of the terms baby & child is an appeal to emotion via obvious misnomers. And it does not fit any definition of murder in the US Code, or any other statute, state or federal, for that matter.
"Murder is the unlawful killing of a human being with malice aforethought." [3]The reason I argue, some cases, is because, even though abortion is a killing of a human being with aforethought, there is not always malice. Only in cases where the mother holds malice toward the baby, in a state that bans abortion, would be cases of murder under the U.S. Code.
Murder only applies to an already born human being protected by law being murdered by another already born human being protected by and subject to the law. A pregnancy has had no legal rights. Period.
However, according to various religious systems, abortion is considered murder.
Religion is irrelevant where the law is concerned.
The current Pope of the Catholic Church has called abortion murder. [5]
I could care less what the Pope thinks. He bends to whatever agenda is most popular among the sheeple.
So many of the world's biggest religions condemn abortion as morally wrong.
Again, religion is irrelevant in this discussion. Especially when so much violence and bloodshed has been caused/done by those claiming to carry out the word of 'God.' Pure hypocrisy.

The legal definition of a human person is identified in 1 U.S.C. §8:i. “In determining the meaning of any Act of Congress, or of any ruling, regulation, or interpretation of the various administrative bureaus and agencies of the United States, the words “person”, “human being”, “child”, and “individual”, shall include every infant member of the species homo sapiens who is born alive at any stage of development.”[iv]note EVERY INFANT MEMBER OF THE SPECICES HOMO SAPEIN AT ANY STAGE OF DEVELOPEMTN
You conveniently left out, "...who is born alive..."
That USC is consistent with the 14th A.
Birth is the delineating factor from pregnancy to person under the law and societal cultural norms.

Yeah, this is why an E4 Military Police Investigator is more intelligent than a mere butter bar Jar Head Marine.Unbelievable! Court is court. If you won’t trust the judicial system, “ all testimony is unreliable” then there’s nothing we can do as a society to establish law and order. The judge makes a decision on what is real and credible. If you don’t like it, you can appeal. If the appeal fails - it’s tough shit.
Court is NOT court.
There is a hierarchy to the court system in the United States.
I trust the judicial system, it's the rules of evidence you clearly do not understand.
The judge rules on what he is told thereof, and those telling the tale are presumed trustworthy. The judge is in no position to [know] absolutely what is being disclosed is "real and credible." It's all about who presented the better argument.
Wouldn't expect you to "get it," since you have ZERO education in the legal criminal justice system, whereas I do, academically and professionally.
