E,

I, and I'm relatively sure others as well, can see that abortion is near and dear to your heart. You do make some excellent points, however, in a round about way, the issue of whether an egg fertilized with a sperm is a child or not has essentially been answered with your recognition of the person's* thinking to which you directed the post:

Of course you can evade the decision, if you simply substitute an article of religious faith -- an opinion -- (that is precisely what it is and all it is) for the hard job of figuring out an answer to the problem of how one makes stipulations that neither defy common sense nor tolerate infanticide.

With all due respect, E (even in recognition of some excellant points), I believe that cuts both ways.

With non-aggressive respect,

Mike

*I didn't read the person's post to which your own was made, but having read him on other threads, I feel comfortable in assuming what his position is given the threads where he can (or once could) be found. And though it may not be necessary, my over all opinion of him is favorable.
