I agree it is a waste of time to try to determine when a proabortionist's definition of life begins.

why? I am equally totally clear. See legal definition of when life begins. I choose that one. Wow not much of a waste of time was it?

LOL

steve,

re: it is a waste of time to try to determine when a proabortionist's definition of life begins

Try bounding the issue with first determining/agreeing when death occurs - most people agree on brain death and pulling the plug is ok. The fetus is not alive in the same sense unless it passes the same tests we use to determine normal death. The generally accepted brain wave definition of life starts somewhere between 40-150 days in a fetus, more study and refinement is needed to pick which end of the range is correct.
