Pezz: Sorry to frustrate you but these are thorny issues. Actually I do believe a fetus is not quite a human but also not just a bag of cells. I think it splits the difference. I believe the longer the pregnancy continues the more difficult it is to make the distinction between a fetus and a human. I do believe in giving the utmost possible deference to the potential the fetus has to develop into a "full- growed" (delivered at term) human. However, I also believe in balancing the needs of the mother, the fetus and the father in deciding when it is right or wrong to terminate a pregnancy. A three year old child is definitely a different story and I could not justify killing a "full-growed" human. I also believe you have misconstrued Neocon's argument but I will let him take that up with you. It does indeed make sense to me too as another way to look at a complex issue. It is most certainly about life and showing respect for life which should not be snuffed out as a matter of convenience. JLA
