What I want to avoid is posters taking a "God said so," position and backing it up with a bible verse.

I understand that a lot of people quite sincerely believe that the minute the sperm hits the egg, it's a human being. Others take my position, that it is human when it can survive outside the womb without extraordinary measures being taken. Which is generally after the first trimester.

So when people here who start from these opposite positions start a conversation on the subject of abortion, it's useless. They are working from different premises and will never agree.

This is why it is too bad that we had "Rowe vs Wade." This should have been a political decision, hammered out in legislative bodies.
