perhaps my wording was imprecise.. i do consider an embryo "human" in some ways.. much more so past the first trimester. i'll admit that is a somewhat arbitrary cutoff, but i don't believe a 1 month old embryo experiences conscious life as humans know it. i guess am in some ways a utilitarian.

i will also admit that as i have thought more about this issue, i have found it harder to defend the pro-choice position... imho, it simply cannot be done on moral grounds.. if one wants be pro-choice, one should accept the fact that you believe in a "necessary" evil ... (i.e. it is still an evil, but the good to society outweighs the harm done).

you really need to get it through your head that people who disagree with you are not necessarily shallow, or stupid.

do you really think that you are soooo smart that all of your beliefs opinions are 100% accurate?

c'mon.. i'll bet you've been wrong about something at some point in your life. even geniuses such as yourself are entitled to make mistake every so often.
