I think this is an interesting article, and pushing the line back regarding abortions will save lives. That is a good thing. The sad and disgusting thng about this article is that these physicians still seem perfectly ok with doing abortions. They just prefer to do them when the child is smaller and less developed. The bigger the child gets, the more it looks like a baby to them. It becomes emotionally and morally harder in their eyes. The thing is, it doesn’t matter if a child is killed at 20 weeks, 8 weeks, or 1 week. The child is the same person whether at conception or 20 weeks. He/she is just smaller and less developed.

I have a tough time figuring out the proaborts. They claim that the child is not a person. You then prove to them scientifically the child is a person. They then say it doesn’t matter if the child is a person because a person cannnot live attached to another’s body against their will. However, if they believe that, they would have to believe abortion should be legal for 9 months. Only the very hardcore want abortion legal for 9 months, and others claim the child is too far developed to be killed. Of course this counters their claim that a person can’t live attached to another’s body against their will. It’s an inconsistent position that makes your head spin. Besides, Judge Blackmun said if the personhood of the unborn child is established, abortion would then be illegal under the 5th and 14th amendments.
