But you're making the jump of when 'human personhood' begins, which, to my knowledge, has not been properly concluded by either side (the religious camp nor the medical camp). I personally think that aborting a mass of cells is more comparable to lancing a boil then to murder. This doesn't mean I approve of abortion (I think that someone who is responsible enough to have sex should understand that their responsible for the consequences), but I'm a staunch supporter of choice in this matter, indeed, I advocate it for rape victims, drug addicts, etc. -- Joshua Simpson -- dataw0lf.org Lead Network Administrator/Engineer Aero-Graphics Inc.
