Somer,
I know your position, and I applaud you for not equivocating.
As you know, I also believe there should be more adoptions, better care for children, resoultion of endless foster care for so many abandoned children, and harsher laws for those that abuse and prey on them.
That said, and I only ask this because I differ with you on the topic of "when life begins", do you think the "state" should be the determinant regarding what any human being does with their own body, or should that decision be left to the individual?
In my humble view, decisions of that magnitude are best left to the person that makes them, not the "state".
