LG, I think that I see where you are coming from--abortion creates the same kind of regret for "abortion-hater-but pro-choice" people that anyone would have for as-yet-childless newlyweds dying in a car wreck. The regret being that the newlyweds didn't get a chance to bring about further life.

I don't agree with this at all, having come to the conclusion that the unborn have inalienable rights because they are people. If I didn't believe that somebody's rights are violated in an abortion, I would want the government to stay out of it. That would be the conservative position, and I wouldn't "hate abortion" because of any potentiality.

I understand your position. It is a difficult issue. For me, it is difficult to believe that from the moment of conception, a fertilized egg is a life. However, at some point, it does become a human life and abortion is no different from infanticide. Maybe we should allow first-trimister abortions only.
