I think people need to be very specific when they ask a question like the N Dame fan asked.I'll respond to it as a question(although he may meant it to be a statement.) With regard to the abortion question,there are 2 types of life.Most people find atleast one type to be precious.If you have 2 people of opposite sex,then you have potential life.There are sperm in him,and eggs in her.If they put sperm n' egg together,then what do they have? To me,this is another form of potential life.I would imagine you're Catholic,and have been taught that this package is "life." I don't believe it is life.Just as I don't believe (2 days after a person dies) a dead body is life.When the embryo becomes something that has a way to feel stimuli(pain etc.,) then it is actual life(to me.)That's precious to me.The package up to that point isn't (to me)alive yet.So,I am not for choosing to end life.I just will never agree with you that an embryo is actual life(until it can feel something,it is potential life.)So,I am for women having the right to end a pregnancy before this stage.If you look at this intellectually,then you will have an opinion when life is actual,and when it is "potential." If you let your religion decide it for you,then you don't have to think(you just react.)
