Life starts at conception. Don't like my views? Good For You.
I have a very hard time understanding people's justification for abortion, except when lives are threatened. I'll let you figure out how that's not a paradox on your own. People that trot out the 'people have the right to retain control over their own bodies' argument are people I agree with, except that I think the life and rights of the human developing within themselves or their partner should supersede their own selfish desires. That is why the unborn child needs legal protection. BUT WAIT, there's more...what about cases of rape or incest? Well, I just don't fucking know. |

I'll start...
Life begins at the moment of conception. Taking that life at any stage during it's development, whether at the fifth week, fifth month of fifth year is murder. Also, partial birth/ "late term" abortions are the most disgusting and barbaric practice known to man. Receiving, performing or assisting in a partial birth abortion should be a capital offence.

IMHO a human life starts at about 8 weeks, when electrical activity begins in the fetal brain.

Yeah if you are gonna reply don't even think about exceptions to the rule like rape, incest, alien inbreeding, etc.
More interested in why life starts at when you think it starts. What has happened at that point that is significant. Sorry guys  I am just trying to figure this out for myself. |

Ah, this is simple. Fertilization begins (human) life (human being). No Life, no Liberty, hence no Pursuit of Happiness. Can't separate the spark from the fire. Human rights begin when human life begins.

In embryology the fetus has a rudimentary cardiovascular system and heartbeat around the 3rd or 4th week. In a classical definition I would say that could be a marker of life beginning. However, life may also be defined as cell division which occurs almost immediatley after fertilization of an ovum by sperm, thus producing a multipotential cell, which in turn gives rise to a human being. So, I would argue life begins at conception.

I think abortion is a rediculous form of birth control. But for other reasons, for example, if the mothers life will be endangered or if she was raped, abort all you want. Other than that, I think 15-20 years sounds about right. And partial birth abortion should be punishable by public hanging, for the mother and the doctor.

[flamesuit on] IMHO Life begins at the baby's first breath outside the womb. Before that, it's a part of the female body. [/flamesuit off]

BOHICA!!! Life begins at conception because the basic processes of life begin at conception. (Cell division, etc...) The product of reproduction between a human male and a human female isn't a goldfish, and should not be flushed like one. Thus if whatever it is is alive, AND is the product of human reproduction.... Viola!! Human life. And left alone, those few cells will grow into a person just as much a person as you or I. So interrupting that process is murder. |

For the undecided people consider this before posting:
When does life end? When is it ethical to take someone off life support? Or more abstract: We hunt animals because they do not show the characteristics of humans therefore they don't have human rights although they do have brain activity and a heartbeat. If we encountered an alien race or other (bigfoot) how would we determine what rights this organism would have? What charactristics? If you already have your mind made up then just post your opinion. This post is worthless to you. By the way I take no credit for the above ideas. They are not my own original thoughts. |

Pro-choice. BOHICA
Maybe I don't feel good about abortion in most instances, but in some scenarios it applies. Even when I was hard-core fundamentalist I felt that people should at least have the choice of "going to Hell". From that perspective, God gave us that choice. I'm certainly not better than to argue it. |

Without a doubt nothing beats a hot apple pie with a nice light crisp crust ... just ten minutes out of the oven and still all hot and gooey - just a touch of cinnamon.
Kind of strange the guy asks for a discussion, is told to "nut up" and post his own opinion, then runs out of the discussion ... seems to be rather like huh?

I'll add fuel to the impending flame fest - never been afraid to say my piece!!
Life begins at birth. I have zero objection to abortion at any time by any method. Murder of a pregnant woman is as horrible as any murder but should not, IMHO, carry any charge for killing an unborn fetus. sKerry is a prime example of an abortion that SHOULD have been performed!!!! |

The very definition of the word "Abortion" means to end a life.....
Murder by any other name is still murder

Ending a life is murder? Always? So you for or against capital punishment? Murder, right? MOAB on a pile of the bad kind of Iraqis? Murder, right? Shooting the guy raping your wife? Murder, right? We end life all the time- we kill, indeed, but not all killing is murder. Tissue begins living when it reproduces, but does not become a viable human being for many months afterward. It's not when "life" begins that defines this debate, unless what you really mean to say is when living tissue becomes a potentially viable human being. But I'm sure you knew that...  |
