Re: Something to view.....
Sorry to seem so baffling :P
I would say when men buy a pack of condoms it is because they know when they can stop life from beginning, not because they necessarily believe life begins when sperm and egg unite.
I guess, when it comes down to it, I BELIEVE that a life is a life, as soon as it begins, and there are enough miscarriages, tragically, that I don't think any other lives should be taken. I can advocate that fact til I am blue in the face. But can I judge whether or not others should have the right to choose...?
My point is, what is truth? Why does anyone believe anything? I would think that it would be easy to see that, whether a fetus is considered alive or not, that it will eventually be a fully formed child. A young man could be destined to be a championship gymnast. If someone runs him over, and robs him of that potential, do the courts sit back and say 'well, he wasn't doing anything with his legs anyways, at least he is still alive' and not do anything about what has happened...?
Again, the abortion debate itself confuses me. All I was stating is how someone else could poke holes in debate points.

Re: Something to view.....
I just saw this...quote: My point is, what is truth?
And had to post this...quote: For this was I born, and for this came I into the world; that I should give testimony to the truth. Every one that is of the truth, heareth my voice.
Carry on.
