You are arguing theory. In reality, we are aborting babies by ripping them from the womb. The doctor counts the pieces to make sure he has them all. It's hard for me to get worked up about a morning after pill in the light of that.

I am arguing against a state of mind that deems the tiniest life of no value.

To my mind, the thought that some abortion is OK gave rise to Roe (unlimited in first trimenster). Once some abortion was OK, how could any be wrong? Thus Doe (removal of all legal limitation).

And thanks for the backhanded insult. I guess my rage is less noble than yours. I was operating in the context of the thread, IMHO.

At what point in development may I become concerned, that I may be properly pro-life? Obviously, I'm starting too early (conception).

Mayhap I should be clear: I am one of those delightful folk that Palpatine rages against on these boards. Abortion is a sin, and a crime against life. Whether at nine days or nine months.

If you wish to talk tactics, I'm no purist. I'll take what I can get within the realms of political reality. If that means a ban with rape or incest exceptions, so be it. Better than nothing.

If you want a wider view, I say ban it all, save for the life of the mother (lethal self defense).
