Well, I'm against those things, of course. But I wasn't the one who was bringing up destroying children, or pre-children, or whatever you want to call them. Since you are going to make a statement that the ownership of the whatever-they-are is important, I was just trying to see if that distiction extended to one's own born children, farther down the line.

I am heartened to see that apparently you see that at least some children deserve to be protected. Apparently there is some line that has to be crossed, in your view.

I am glad you are also against circumcision and other genital mutilation.

We have all these folks screaming about rights, yet they don't seem to care about infants who are born!

And it makes it look like pro-lifers are ignorant when they claim there's a logical fallacy in the bird-egg argument. (I.e., the decisions are consistent--it's just a disagreement on when life begins...and the high spontaneous abortion rate [that is, the percentage of fertilized eggs that get "killed" by being booted out by a woman's body] does bring up concerns about the idea of "life begins at conception.")

In case you haven't seen me post it before, I've assisted "pro-life" groups with fundraising efforts and have volunteered for them. However, I wouldn't say I'm "pro-life" in the sense of "pro-life-at-all-costs"...as I am more in favor of "pro-rights," including the right to die, should a person make that decision voluntarily.
