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

I call it letting the ONLY person intimate with the situation decide.. it's not "supporting abortion"... I'm not telling her to do ANYTHING. I see that YOU ARE, we differ there.

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

That's a fine stance... so is mine.

<You seem to be arguing that killing an unborn child is no more significant that a woman clipping her fingernails>

Noooo... YOU are (now) implying that "women feel that way"... I imply nothing... I let the woman imply.

In fact WOMEN IN GENERAL (compared to men) ARE MUCH MORE ABLE to understand the whole issue. I would be nice if some would chip in... If a majority of women in the US somehow got a reforendum and wanted to ban abortion I'd be all for it... they can understand this issue much more deeply than men ever can.

<DNA analysis is a scientific way to identify and distinguish between one Human being and another.>

So...? I'm sure 'DNA' has a multitude of "functions"... as the awe inspiring life around us and even within our own bodies, attests.

<That may be your position but it is not mine. {about more personhood as development proceeds)>

You keep saying that despite all the evidence including your own... and that's fine... but with absolutely nothing to support it, it's hollow. Tons of evidence to the contrary is obvious by understanding development with ones own 2 eyes... including what was touched on, which is the womans body routinely halts developement quite often early on... and less so later on. You imply murder... I imply a natural course of things... the woman senses something wrong and decides to "wait till next time" for whatever reason.

<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).>

Of course, neither do I. But none of those cases COMES CLOSE to the "relationship" of fertilized egg and mother... as anyone can see.
