Yes, Mike...I hear ya...I would tend to acknowledge the ethics in the position that "life" begins at conception and indeed I accept that..the problem the righters have is in according the same "unalienable rights" to an egg at conception as they do a fetus..thus aborting the conceptus is the same as aborting a fetus, one looks like a human and the other an amoeba and with the terrible politization of the issue, whereby it is taken out of the sanctity of the family, we have righters prancing around equating the end results of ru486 with the end result of the terrible partial birth abortion...using your argument, after all , a life is a life....no, in terms of rights the two are not similar in my opinion....
and I blame our profession in not being more proactive in helping to define in a manner, much less political, the stages of development of a human life..when organs are formed, when the brain is formed, when a nervous system is formed, when we can assign those unalienable rights to a developing human being...it's a tough issue, which unfortunately has been politicized, I think to the detriment of society as a whole...it's been nice having this discussion with ya
