"Trying to draw the line after conception isn't possible" Ok then. What about a pregnant woman who drinks and isn't aware of her pregnancy? Is she guilty of child abuse? Or is carrying an anacephalic baby? Why should she bring such a child to term? Or one with a neural tube defect?

re: Trying to draw the line after conception isn't possible, either, since no one can agree to a point during the nine-month period when the "fetus" actually turns into a "baby." "Everybody" doesn't agree about anything. You take the evidence, and you make your best guess; that's what society does. Nobody forces anyone to get an abortion if it's against their religious beliefs. The majority believes abortions should be legal. People shouldn't denied the option because it is against some people's religious beliefs. John

And then there is the argument that my wife ran across when researching a tangential issue in an ethics class. So every woman who has an abortion was raped? No...... a resounding NO! Its a right to privacy issue. If a woman can't abort a fetus, what's to stop someone from using your kidneys while you're still alive? That's an extreme exaggeration [I hope] but it means our bodies are no longer our private domain to do with what we want. Many people who are pro choice are against abortions. Do you understand the apparent contradiction? ted
