Great - - - then don't get an abortion. I am so sick of "other people's" believes - - - infringing on my Rights.

I'm pro-choice. That's all there is to say. Most pro-life are unintelligent bible beating morons who have no understanding of the true nature of the universe. If a soul chooses a life plan that includes being killed early in the womb, it's likely that that soul is paying a karmaic debt of some kind.

Abortion in general: I don't believe in abortion for birth control but as many others have pointed out there are a ton of other viable reasons for having one. I'm not Anti-abortion but I'm not Pro-life either. It is down to the mother and father (if he's actually stuck around) to make that decision. Whether we agree with it or not is irrelevant.
All of you vehemently spouting off 'baby killers' and demanding it become illegal are talking about taking away a persons rights. Just like if I started calling all deer hunters murderers and demanding deer hunting be illegal. I would be taking away their rights.
Are any of you pro-lifers vegetarians? I mean, killing is killing is it not? Whether its a non-formed potential person or a happily clucking chicken.

I would condone some form of medical sterilization until such time as an individual or couple can meet guidelines that would establish a 'right to reproduce'.

Tell me..when is a new plant "alive"??? Do you not think plants are "alive"???
Yes.
I have answered all your questions for your replies, I do not understand why you cannot comprehend that. Do you wish for me to do it in line-by-line format like this? I do not have time to do it in such exclusive detail unfortunately.
Herein lies the resulting problem.
You believe a life is a life regardless, yes?
I believe a life is a life when there is a form of sentience - even if it is primitive.
You have shown me scientific evidence promoting the existence of a living being without sentience, of which I have shown you a scenario and scientific evidence for what happens upon brain death (loss of sentience).
For me to convince you otherwise to my point of view would drift from a scientific stand-point to that of the nature of a religious nature.
As previously stated this is purely an argument of life vs sentience.
...
What seems to be more relevant of discussion here, is WHEN human sentience begins; which of I have read, begins around the 10 week marker. Prior to human sentience, you are not murdering a human life, you are destroying an collection of cells without sentience, just as you leave sperm cells to die upon masturbation and the proceeding ejaculation.
