Don Firth,

And Pro- choice means that the fetus has some choice? You are on weak ground: BOTH sides have chosn labels that sound "good"

I happen to be in favor of allowing abortions. I do not think thay are good, and would rather that they were not needed. But in the real world, they are sometimes the best action.

The major point, that both sides ignore, is the definition of WHEN the fetus becomes a human being with rights. IMO, that is when it is capable of life outside the mother.

For those who would argue that conception is the key point, let me point out that EVERY ova has the potential of becoming a human: Are you willing to insist that ALL women have sex every month to avoid the "loss" of all those potential lives? Starting at what, 12 or 13 years old? If not, any talk of "potential" human life is hypocritical.
