Subject: RE: BS: Farewell to an anti-abortionist
Viability isn't determined solely by the level of development of what's-happening-in-the-womb, but largely by the level of development of medical technology. Babies can be born and survive outside the womb at far earlier in pregnancy than would at one time have been thought possible.

Does anyone really believe that, once it's got to that stage (whatever that stage might be), to kill a viable embryo is not killing a human being?
