jbe,

My religion reports that the soul enters the fetus at the end of the first trimester. Although we still don't know the exact moment that this occurs, this represents for us a measure of when the thing is human and when it is not. This coincidentally, or not, is the period that science struggles with the notion of humaness. So for me it is not that arguable.

The other point is. If you believe that a life should not be denied and you are using the most heinously brutal criminal aspects of society and saying, not even the worst of these; while attributing that to your compassion for the right to live. Well....the callous approach some people take toward a fetus doesn't match up. I understand and appreciate the idea that a woman has the right to be self determining. There have been times where there were no limits of what parents could choose for their living children, including infanticide. There are limits now. There are limits to what she can do to her children who survived the womb, why not the ones inside? Of course there are lots of aspects on all sides to consider. But when I step back and I look at the big picture (globally) it appears that people are choosing to eliminate baby girls in favour of baby boys. That was the justification for infanticide in the past. And, that makes it pretty clear to me where this is headed.

Apples and oranges if your looking at one social issue as criminal rights and the other as women's rights. Not apples and oranges if the issue is the sacredness of the right to life.
