OK. I am down to your post #239.

You do't consider prior to 90 days fetuses people. Okie doke. On what premise? Do you have sources, other than your own feelings?

I can assume that there are people who don't consider newborn babies people...the guy at Princeton comes to mind. Should we kill new born babies because there are pepople who think that way?

Considered mainly on my feelings coupled with the fact that a fetus of that age can't exist outside the womb. Notwithstanding the science of a pre-90-day fetus, my feelings are an appropriate way to judge as I also see it as an issue of morality not legality.

Look. I'm tired of the "Pro-abortion" meme. I had a friend growing up who was pro-life and found herself with an unwanted pregnancy at a young age. I would NEVER suggest to her that abortion was an option because I understood and respected her beliefs. The best I could do for her was be there for her through her pregnancy and offer whatever assistance I had at my disposal to be her friend, hold her hand, and help her.

I would never want a person who didn't want an abortion to have one. So WHY - if my moral matrix says that abortion is NOT murder and a matter of personal choice up to a certain time, would anyone tell me that I couldn't have one?

I would be hard-pressed to find a person who said they thought abortion was GREAT. So given that, the commonality is a desire to REDUCE abortions. I don't understand why we can't work to making it virtually obsolete rather than fight about it's being right and wrong while it continues, legal or not!
