Some see life beginning at conception... some at the first trimester... some at the second... some at the checkout desk.
If this is going to be a subjective argument... I guess I'll just go with when a person can sustain themselves unless they receive the willing charity of another person. Y'all can pretend that a nanny state is a sustainable model... but history and reality say otherwise.
I only say that abortion should be limited to the first trimester because there are women who will want an abortion. This is a concession. I know enough about the psychology of developing fetuses to know there's much more going on than simple cell dividing after a certain stage in the fetuses development. Therefore my stance is that the sooner the woman has it done the better and she'd best make up her mind quick.
My philosophy however is that it's alive the day it was conceived.
My beliefs and therefore it drives my stance and the reason for saying it best be done quickly.

I certainly respect your point of view de... and I share your scientific analysis... but I don't wish to draw any time line for the purposes of this argument. The funny thing is that I don't have any strong feelings on this subject... lol. I just don't wish to relinquish a contradiction... why is a life disposable at on point and not another? Surely we know there have been others that have made those decisions... right? Even God?
What is so damn bad about natural selection? It's better to pick and choose?
