The main differences between a living human being at it's earliest stages and you are size, level of development, environment and the degree of dependency. Being a big bully you are no doubt used to using your rather lumpy physique to dominate and abuse those who are smaller than you but what you fail to realize is what goes around can come around. You are "nothing" but a rather large speck of Protoplasm; so if small specks can be eliminated for the convenience of others, then those who are more powerful than you can do the same thing and eliminate you. This may be the way you want the world to be but I do not. Size does not matter. Further a three week old infant is not as developed as a someone who is three decades old but we do not, (nor should we) assign MORE value to human beings based of their level of development. Newborns do not posses any of the qualities that you arbitrarily deem necessary to qualify as a Human person worthy of protection or rights. Do you advocate that mothers be allowed to kill three month old babies because they are too tired or poor to take care of them. Lots of people who hold the same views as you do but are actually honest do advocate this. Disabled babies and babies with Down's syndrome are particularly vulnerable to the type of evil that you advocate. Environment is also a major difference between the the unborn and the born. Partial birth abortion should be an unspeakable evil but people like you think it's just great. As if walking from one room to another or across a border could either bestow or abrogate the humanity of a person. Where is Amnesty International when you need them. Finally; Dependency is not a reason to allow the killing of human beings. We don't allow the killing of the poor the sick the disabled or the elderly just because they are dependent on others for survival and we should not allow mothers to kill their unborn children for nothing more than convenience sake. You can't seem to grasp that the science is very clear that an embryo is a unique living Human being.
