Awesome. As if anyone is a fan of abortion.

I'm glad to see a couple liberals opposed to abortion. After all, an abortion is
certainly a death penalty for an unborn human life.

I don't know anyone who is for abortion. What people are *for* is a
woman's right to determine whether she's going to have a baby or not.
The question about when life actually begins is religious in nature
and should not be arbitrarily imposed on non believers. That would be
like Harry insisting that you only eat kosher foods.


I don't think the question of when life actually begins is religious in
nature exclusively. Science has not been able to define precisely what
constitutes the start of a human life. We have adopted social "rules"
as to when a fetus becomes a human being for purposes of convenience in
an otherwise debated subject in the scientific community as well as for
religious reasons. More recent work with DNA structures and their
impact on the moment of fertilization is starting to change conventional
scientific thoughts.
