I have been all over the place on the abortion issue moving from the its a woman's body argument when I was much younger to the Life is life is life postition I hold now.

My views evolved as I have studied life. I read, discussed and watched my own child grow and finally arrived at my conclusions through logic.

Very simple really if you think about it long enough.

Let us remove all religious beliefs and liberal ranting about women's rights and you can easily strip it down to logic.

Women produce "A" for reproduction and Men produce "B" for the same purpose! Mix the two together in the proper enviroment and you get "C" life.

Any purposeful meddling with that life, after A and B are mixed, to stop the process from proceeding is in essence killing life!

And if you are true to yourself, there is no argument in the world to deny the fact that any form of killing a fetus is in fact ending life. For to leave a fetus to its purpose will eventually allow it to turn into a baby, unless disease or injury intervenes.

How do we know for sure when life begins or ends or even if it does begin or end? Maybe life is eternal and human experience is one of its worst forms. If an all powerful God has created life how can puny little humans actually end life. Humans only determine how life will be manifested in this human experience. I choose to believe there is much more to life than what now appears to humans.

Regarding reproduction, do you favor requiring the birth of severely defective humans which will require extensive life support systems? Do you favor requiring births which will risk the life of the mother? Do you favor requiring births which will risk the dissability of the mother? Do you favor having the state make these decisions rather than the woman and family directly involved? Do you favor requiring births in such number as to cause disruption to a society?

For to leave a fetus to its purpose will eventually allow it to turn into a baby, unless disease or injury intervenes.

To leave sperm and egg to their purpose will eventually result in a baby also. Sperm and eggs are living cells. Contraception kills this life. But this is not "human" life as it has no self-awareness or consciousness. A fetus also has no self-awareness or consciousness. To many people, human life starts when a baby is born and starts to experience the world of human beings. All life is not defined by or confined to the human world.
