>> Do you think the government should be invited into the bedroom to regulate those trying to conceive who are at high risk for miscarriages?

Of course not.

>> If parents allow one or two kids to die due to their poor decisions, they go to jail. If the worth of a life is constant from conception on, then the government should also look very closely at how many lives are thrown away by people who don't even know they are doing it.

No idea what you're talking about.

>> Either that, or accept the fact that almost no one actually does believe that a zygote is in fact of the same worth as a born baby.

I'm on record here as believing first trimester abortions are a reasonable compromise, but there ought to be state laws in every state against 2nd & 3rd trimester abortion. But this position gets more and more difficult to sustain over time as point of sustainability moves closer to conception.

You and I aren't going to resolve this here. But establishing the end of the first trimester as a cutoff point is something. I'm not "comfortable" with it, but recognize that abortion is going to continue at least for my lifetime. Minimizing it seems to me to be a worthy objective.

Eliminating the barbaric late-term procedures so forcefully advocated by the Left seems to me to be essential.
