Poll: Abortion Morally Wrong, OK Embryonic Research, Assisted Suicide Split
Washington, DC -- The latest national poll of thousands of Americans from Gallup finds people believe abortion is morally wrong, are split on assisted suicide, and believe research involving the destruction of human embryos is okay. The results show pro-lie advocates have more educational work to do on bioethics issues.

Abortion is genocide most notably against blacks.
Abortion is also anti-woman, anti-feminine, anti-female.
The main purpose and function of a woman is as a mother, a child raiser, a nurturer of children.
To deny this is to deny the very raison d’etre for womanhood.
I believe abortions were created by women who were hit by the ugly stick, lesbians and woman who are jealous of more feminine women who have to beat men off by the truckload because they are more beautiful or more popular.
Abortions even deny the innocent unborn the gift of life, liberty and the ul;timate pursuit of happiness.
Abortions are an immoral affront against God.

Sounds like there is an education gap.
Killing embryos for research is the same as killing one human to harvest his organs so another can live.

Abortion is murder, plain and simple. No matter what 'free people' in the '60s found. Abortion is the perfectly subjective termination of a growing, living entity. The set point in time after which it is 'illegal' is the construction of an idiot. One might invoke the sorites riddle of the ancient Greeks/Romans here. It sounds all too simple, but it is not: when starts one to call a number of grains of sand a 'heap of sand'? Or when is one not 'suffering from hair loss' anymore, but 'bald'? The lesson? Very gradual increments, days in the life of a foetus, can't be a good (moral) basis for judgment to say when it's 'right' or 'not right anymore' to terminate a young life. We simply lack the insight. Another way of putting it: when a life form, if ever so tiny, can be said to evolve, if the necessary conditions for nurture and care are met, into a human being over time, a sound human being, then terminating the life in that tiny entity is: murder, and should be punished appropriately. Yet another way, also pertaining to other ethical issues: physicians do everything in their might to keep very old, and very fragile people alive, even if they can't see, can't hear, can't smell, can't speak, and perhaps barely think anymore, both in a rational and in an emotional sense. The chance of these people to recover might be totally zero. But the doctors persist in the effort, even if it lasts years. I ask you: in that light, what's to think about killing a foetus that has everything still in store, that might live for 70 years, be a thinking, feeling, happy, sad human being, and might make a great contribution to society? I am sure I don't even have to put the answers before you any more.

Hit the return key a couple of times.
As long as you have nothing that looks like html in your post, it will do an autoconvert.
However, if you have ANY html-ish stuff in your post, you have to go all the way and put in < P > tags for paragraph separation.

Hah! Many thanks, I think this solves my problem completely. I did have a few HTML thingies in my last couple of posts.
