Since most of your response is just your opinion which happens to differs from mine, and we are all entitled to our opinions, I will limit my response to your last comment. You say it is only the potential mother's right to choose whether or not to end the pregnancy. Wrong the mother has already made her choice. Unless she was raped or a victim of incest you made her choice when she decided to have unprotected sex. After that and once she is kown to be pregnant it really isn't about her anymore, but about the life she has chosen to create.

The great weakness in the choice argument has always been that the choice has already been made and the abortion rights people want the opportunity for a do-over. But the only way you get a do-over in this type of situation is to kill the baby, end of story.

Moral relativism cloaked in new age philosphy doesn't change the facts that a new life with its own unique DNA pattern has been created and that abortion destroys that new life.

It is possible to become pregnant even with "protected sex". No contraception is 100% except abstinence. That is fact.

Opinion: I do not believe that life is "created" by human procreation. God is the Source of life and what we humans do or don't do is not more powerful than what God has done. Life is eternal since it is a characteristic of God and God is eternal. This flawed human experience is clearly a temporary state which we will overcome at some point after freely making the requisite progress.

Human life begins with the process of birth. The environment of the womb will not allow for development beyond about 9 months. Not until the process of birth does a potential human being become a baby. Not until the process of passing years does a baby become a child, adolescent and adult.

What I am concerned about is the freedom to determine how our lives will proceed with as little interference from the corrupted power of human government. I believe that most abortions are not in anyone's best interest but some may be what is best - but that decision is the responsibility of the woman who is directly involved.

Sucking tobacco smoke into the lungs is really not in anyone's best interest and can even kill those just in proximity - but it is still legal. Try working on that if you are truly interested in a culture of life.
