Once a child is born it's obviously a citizen, and killing that baby is murder or manslaughter or whatever. Prior to birth it's horrendous to have a very late stage abortion, but early in the pregnancy it's not only legal, but often necessary and the ethical dilemma is strictly a matter of
opinion.

Here are the facts:

- Abortion is legal and most people want it that way
- Abortion goes to the heart of a woman's rights and women should have thosed rights
- Womens rights should not be decided by rightwing men
- Unwanted pregnancies are often very serious problems for the woman
- RU-486 makes unwanted pregnancies all but obsolete so in effect makes abortions completely unnecessary
- Abstinence onily education actually creates more STD's unwanted pregnancies
- We have a huge over-population problem in this world
- If Bush let Roe be overturned, the GOP would lose millions of voters for a long time to come and gain none.

Everything else is opinion, but I believe:

- Nobody likes abortion but it should be legal at least until a certain late term period
- A fertilized egg or pea-sized pregnancy is not a human being
- RU-486 should be totally available as well as all birth control methods
- Sex education should be mandatory for kids
- Anyone who is against abortion rights should strongly back RU-486 or shut up.
- Anyone who is against abortion rights should adopt at least one unwanted child or shut up.

So what do you think about mothers who kill their newborn children right after they're born?

I don't think they would be very good mothers, even if the kid survived that episode.
