X said that early abortions didn't bother her as much, I believe. X said this, and I think I can speak for X, because life is a continuum, and the closer the foetus gets to being born the more like a child it is. Since I cannot say I approve of infanticide, the more the foetus resembles an actual infant the less enthusiastic I am about letting other people kill it. SO while X realizes she is on a moral slippery slope, X has very little problem with, say, the morning after pill and a GREAT problem with killing an infant the day before it is born. Merely a comfort thing, I suppose you could say, but it has its own internal logic. I am human. I do not wish to be killed. So I wish not to kill or approve of the killing of that which is most like me. A bundle or 2, 4 16, 32 cells? No problem. I do not think you would mistake me for a bundle of 36 cells (maybe Ally Mc Beal, but not me) but a baby in utero, fully developed at 6 months that is more like me. Now I do not say I applaud aborting bundles of cells, or Ally Mc Beal, but I have LESS of a problem with it.
