<Are you a pro abortion Catholic?>

"No of course not..."

And yet you go on to say....

"I don't "support abortion". .... In which case I think letting women decide (as indeed analogously their bodies also do in any case) was a pretty wise decision..."

I would call that supporting abortion on demand for any reason.

Myself: I believe the only time an abortion is morally justified is when the life of the mother is actually physically threatened.

You seem to be arguing that killing an unborn child is no more significant that a woman clipping her fingernails. I would love to hear your reasoning as to why abortion is morally wrong.

"proclamations by no nothing religionists"

Did you mean KNOW nothing religionists there bright eyes?

"What's the point... that DNA = person?"

DNA analysis is a scientific way to identify and distinguish between one Human being and another. In the case of pregnancy there are two distinct Human being involved, not one as you erroneously claim. All Human beings are by nature persons. What else could they be?

"But clearly that angle of discussion points towards 'more personhood' as developement proceeds."

That may be your position but it is not mine. I hold that all Human beings are also persons. I don't believe in a sliding scale of person hood. A toddler is no less a person than an adult and a poor, uneducated Black man is no less a person than a rich, Asian with a PHD (or vise versa).
