Prologue

Those of you who have been following me on livejournal for about a year may remember my last post on religion. It came after attending several sessions

See, that's the thing I disagree with you on: Just because a baby can't survive outside of the womb doesn't mean it isn't a human. There are many humans that can't survive on their own. Hell, a toddler isn't self-sufficient. By that measure, a patient on a liver dialysis machine isn't human. Nor is a diabetic who is dependent on insulin.

And the reason I'd say abortion is wrong is because isn't not just the mother's body--you have to consider the child, too.

Obviously, it's hard to make an absolute statement like this. Because, to be completely and unflatteringly honest, if I happened to be in the position of having an unwanted pregnancy I'd be lying if I said I'd want to have the baby. I'm a potential-killer hypocrite, okay, but that's the truth.

And lastly, my information about pro-choicers being selective about their information is based on what some of the leading pro-choice activists have said about their position.

I dunno, it's a tough issue, especially for women who could have to deal with the rammifications of the legislation. :/
