We have the death penalty in Texas, and I am very happy with it. No matter how you'd like to twist the argument to create a conflict for me where none exists, the fact remains that my position is without conflict. You ought to look into this thing called "justice". ~SB~

How many cells does an unborn child have to have before you see a problem with abortion? Or, are you simply not willing to draw any lines because it isn't convenient to do so? Life begins when the the fertilized egg attaches to the uterus (and thereby has a chance of survival). In that sense, I would support the RU486 pill. Nevertheless, I see abortion as a matter of convenience and contraception as a gross lack of responsibility and complete disrespect for the life that has been created because someone wanted to get it on (I would be willing to accept the validity of a woman's right to choose in the event of rape or incest, since it was beyond her control). As I said earlier, sugar-coating the issue by claiming to be pro-choice and not pro-abortion is ridiculous denial. If more people would make the proper choice on the front end, there would be no need for such denial. Permitting abortion only removes that much more responsibility from people's shoulders. ~SB~
