Arbitrarily killing the unborn at any age, from their conception onward, is not reproductive choice since reproduction has already occurred at fertilization. Not being a Catholic, I might add, every woman ought have the right to practice contraception. To state otherwise is to embrace enslavement of women. Once conception is in evidence, any choice thereafter is made with regard to rejecting contiuned life support for an individual human being already alive. To debate whether pain management should be employed is to tacitly accept the notion that one individual human being has some inherent right to hire a serial killer to off another innocent individual human being. Somehow the 'doctors' debating these issues have gotten beyond the fundamental inhumanity of arbitrarily killing innocent human beings. Abortion is a form of birth control; it is not a form of contraception.

Good points. But if abortion is birth control, then so is miscarriage. And if Dr Morgentaller is correct and half of all pregnancies end in spontaneous miscarriage, then God really is the biggest abortionist going. Why create life just to take it three weeks later. I think I stand with my original post, in that life begins at conception, but humanity starts about three months later at the time of quickening. Thanks.
