Despite the fact that I am, as I've already said, pro-choice, I can, at least as far as the concept of the individual goes, understand the pro-life stance of the pro-life members of the Republican party. As you said, they claim a belief in the primacy of the individual. They are pro-life at least in part because they believe that a fetus is an individual. And as an individual it has a "right to life," thus the phrase. The thing that bothers me about this entire debate is that I tend to agree with that view, but I also recognize that people have a definite tendency to put themselves in situations that they recognize only when it's too late to avoid them. Since I also believe that there are already too many people being born, and that any population decrease is a good thing, we might as well start with the fetuses of women who don't want them anyway. I can't see how having one less unwanted child in the world can be anything but a good thing. All this is why I continue to hope that we can someday live in a world where abortions are easy, safe and readily available, and nobody has one. -BLT
