So are you then petty enough to say something like you do not have a birthday cake if the candles are there, but they are not on the cake yet? COME ON lol..you know what it is.

nope.. i'm not that petty, and your analogy is a bit of a stretch. i'm not about to compare some clustered cells to the human being that pops out after 9 months. i keep repeating this: it's something that BECOMES life. i'm not about to take the most minimal example, a cluster of cells, and equate that to being the same as a human being. after all, isn't it the human being's life that is purportedly being protected here?

No, actually if you read my first post I admitted I was pro-choice at one point. Are you denying that there are/were large amounts of underground abortions when it was not legal? Also, why are you ignoring the issue of adoption?

i don't know how many underground abortions there were then, but i do know they occurred across the country. as for adoption, it isn't relavent to whether/not a woman has the right to her own body. but, adoption is a decent alternative for those who aren't comfortable with having an abortion. i would not loosen the requirements to adopt a child, either - babies are not hot commodities like little putties and kittens.

The law protects life, liberty, and the persuit of happiness. The mother and the child can both do this. If the mother does not want the child she has other options that do not deny life, liberty and the persuit of happiness for another human being.

pregnancy can impose many problems for the mother - both physically and psychologically. the cluster of cells growing inside her is not a separate entity unto itself, and as a consequence, and the mother is sovereign over her body.
