I just checked the links that I posted and they are working now.

I'm still left with the question when does a soul come into the picture, and the fate of a soul at any given stage in development.

• The Human Rational Soul in the Early Embryo -- by Stephen Heaney, Ph.D. In this essay, Professor Heaney discusses the various theories of "ensoulment" that permeate philosophical (and theological) discussions on abortion.

• A Survey of Arguments for Immediate versus Delayed Animation -- by Scott Sullivan. In this essay, Thomist Philosopher Scott Sullivan critically analyzes the theory of mediate animation.

Thanks for the links. I'm trying to wade through the first one and am beginning to glaze over.

A little deep for this humble engineer.

Guns don't just GO OFF.

Actually, they CAN "just go off" after, as in this case, an attempted firing - clearly this is a textbook case of a faulty primer. I have seen delays of several minutes on firing ranges, and heard of longer delays from others. This time delay is a bit longer than I have experienced, but it is not unheard of!

Don't let this "red herring" deflect from the FACT of the personal and national tragedy of murdering an unborn child!

1. Given Free Will, there is no way to insure any given child will select the right path.
2. Therefore, the only way you can insure a soul goes to Heaven is to terminate the pregnancy.
3. No birth, no sin, go to Heaven.

• Did I miss something here?

1. God grants free will
2. Abortion terminates free will
3. Man takes God's place
4. Is Abortion Murder?
