The Case for Conception

[level_head]

This document makes the case for treating human life as beginning at the moment of fertilization.It's reasonably well-written, and I find points of agreement with it -- including that the Roe v. Wade case was incompetently argued

I felt the same way before I had kids. I understand where you're coming from, I do. Before I had kids, I marched in the big pro-choice rally.

Now that said, I have to agree that legally it shouldn't be outlawed, but morally is a completely different picture.
Legally you can get away with all kinds of stuff that you know in your heart of hearts is absolutely wrong. I think that if you were to make that decision, it would cost you. Would you risk your life running into a burning building to save your child? Again, you don't know until you've been in the situation, but would you feel bad if your child burned to death when giving your life might have saved her?

You may not feel qualified to morally judge such a woman, and you/we probably shouldn't for a host of reasons, but she will most certainly judge herself for the rest of her life.

I used to think people who protested outside abortion clinics were terrible. Terribly inconsiderate to the women going inside to have a simple procedure done. Further down the road, I see they are trying in their own shrill way to be the friend who doesn't take them by the elbow and lead them to the operating table.
