What I have a problem with is the 'my my my' attitude.
Can you not see that in my illustration? Don't spin this as literal and me being disrespectful to women.
No problem, I can break it down for ya. The problem here is there are two lives involved and some people believe there is only one. This is false.
By Declaration of Independence, each individual is promised life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Abortion is also a violation of the constitution.
Declaration of Independence:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
Whoa! unalienable right to Life? Wow. What a gift!
Constitution:
"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."
Does that help?

I would hope that she would decide to get an abortion, but to me that "fetus" that is being "killed" is a living, breathing individual.

They dont breathe. And they certainly are not individuals.

At Weeks 9-12 an unborn baby has a sucking reflex already in place, and may suck on his thumb or fist. He is also practicing swallowing the amniotic fluid, and at this point is able to excrete it as urine. He can feel pain
They dont "feel" anything. They arent conscious. Pain is just a reaction. Nobody is actually "feeling" any pain. We feel pain, we know what pain is, we know what suffering is, we suffer. A fetus has no experience.

So in your opinion, at what point do we start to matter? At what point are we worth keeping?

Are you just rambling in the sky now, or is what you say actually based on something else than your own fantasy?

They dont have any memory, they dont laugh, or cry, they dont read, they dont write, they dont know what it is to love, or suffer, they arent conscious, they dont agree or disagree with the actions and choices of president Bush, "they" dont exist.
Our personalities and worldviews are formed as we experience our environments around us, these fetuses have no experience, they are not individuals, they have no personality, there really is no "they", as that hints at individuality.
Which is why they do abortions in the beginning of the first trimester, before it is alive.

www.armyofgod.com... This is a pro-life group responsible for several bombs/shootings. Not candyland.
Also, it makes sucking motions? I make flapping motions, am I a bird? Sorry, not "alive". Anymore then a tree or a zombie.
And when it comes out of the womb? No, it is a full human in the second half of the second trimester. IE if you did a C-Section, with the right tech, it would live. But when abortions are done, if you did a C-Section, no matter the tech, it would "die".(Since not alive, can't really die)
