    OK, here's why I consider myself pro-choice.

    My wife and I would never consider abortion as an option.
    Even when we thought our 1st child was going to be born with Downs Syndrome, it still wasn't an option for us. That is our personal religious/moral beliefs.

    However, it is not my place to force other potential parents to live by my religious beliefs. That's what the ragheads in the middle east do, force everyone to believe and act like they believe and act.


    And before John asks again, no I don't think a parent should be able to shoot their 3 year old.

    The issue is not religious beliefs. The issue is whether we are talking about something that is a human life, or something that is not a human life.

    I'm nowhere near educated enough on the subject to comment on when a fetus becomes a human life.

    Once a child is born, it is alive, that much I got figured out.
    Is it a human at conception? I don't know
    6 days? no clue
    4 months? possibly
    8 months? I guess

    4 months? you've seen a sonogram and still not sure if thats a life?

    and dont your religious beliefs prevent you from an abortion due to ending a human life?

    LOL. If it is not a human at conception, what is it? A dog? A cat? A reptile? A strain of bacteria? A virus?

    sure I've seen them, but have a terrible memory as to when it started looking like a kid.

    I said I wouldn't have one due to my beliefs.
    But I'm not going to try to impose my beliefs on the rest of the country.

    its a fertilized egg that looks nothing remotely close to a human being

    im pretty sure its a living thing at 4 months and it would be ending a life.

    thats nothing to do with a religious belief.

    hence the point.

    Human conception results in a human zygote. Just like feline conception results in a feline zygote with cats like Mike the Tiger.

    so was this used to make him more sentimental as opposed to just using a regular, run of the mill, worthless child? :lol::lol:
