Well that has never been my arguement on this issue. I believe it a complex moral issue with no clear correct answer. The issue of when we assign "human rights" to a fetus is very complex. I in fact respect but do not agree with your view. > > Bob Z., I don't know what I did to deserve that kind of nasty insult from > you - which indeed, strikes me as uncharacteristic for you, but I want to > be clear that I object totally to this specious insult of yours. > > I was being flip and for this I apologize but Gautam's arguement struck me as similar to ones you have made in which you see political actions of republicans as motivated by only moral and ethical concerns and every political action of democrats as being cynical and/or immoral.
