I think some of you are missing the main point of the argument, though. Obviously a person has a right to life, regardless of whether their parents think terminating them is necessary or not. But when does a human life become a human person? Is it when the child is born, when the foetus is feasible, when the body is fully formed, when the nueral system starts firing up, when the two gametes form a unique human organism?
And if we can't reasonably tell when a human life is classified as a human person, do we allow people to make their own choice whether to have abortions or not, or do we outlaw abortions because we don't know? If we can tell when a human life becomes a human person, is terminating the life before it becomes a person classed as preleptic murder or not? It's an issue that totally baffles me, but I know it's not as simple as either side makes out. Edit: And there's also the question of whether a mother is obliged to bear her child or not, but not many people seem to think she doesn't. 6

Some people do consider the unborn an other, though.

If you perceive something as a moral evil, you're probably not going to be happy with 'live and let live'. I mean, what's wrong with 'live and let live' where slavery or rape or murder is concerned?

But is one justified to take certain actions, based on perceived 'wrong' actions of others? Yeah! I'm not gonna go on a camping trip with a serial killer! Quote ...the religious judge, jury & executioner system? Which one's that?

Political Opinions / Re: *Not* an abortion thread« on: June 02, 2009, 11:09:13 AM »This is not yet the 6th post, so I apologize if I go off-topic... but isn't it in somewhere in that Bible that one should not murder other people and that only God can judge whether what people do is right of wrong and no human has any business in making that (rather permanent) call on His behalf? Well, no. What it says is that none of us are able to judge a person, not that we're not able to judge a person's actions. It ties into the whole 'love the sinner, hate the sin' thing. 13

I used to have something like that living in my house, except it was a mouse, so I killed it.
