That's easy to say if, at bottom, you don't think a person's being harmed. It's not that easy to accept a pragmatic political decision if you do. Imagine for a moment the same argument being made in favour of infanticide before 1 year of age after birth - can you honestly say you'd feel neutral about the matter, even if society as a whole decided that it was OK? Or would you think society had got it wrong and oppose the practise? The absence of a clear line inclines me to give the benefit of the doubt to the unborn, regardless of religious beliefs. After all, I can't even prove conclusively that I'm a person, let alone that anyone else is - but I can't let that become an excuse for murder.
