| I like these types of thread.....I cannot compete. I think we're all in over our head when we get into this stuff.
Personally, I think that pregancy is a delicate issue, and in modern society, we should be limiting the reproduction rate, we are growing too fast. that's why we use condoms, to stop STD's and unwanted pregnancies. in todays modern society, some people are financially and physicaly unable to raise or care for a child. so in the case of an unwanted pregnancy, the best way to get rid of the hassle is to terminate it.
of course, this raises many issues, is a zygote a human? is a fetus? personally, I think that until the third trimster, a baby is a part of the mother, a choice that should be up to her to keep or get rid of.
Though I don't disagree with those who think that life begins at conception, but to quote Carlin "do we have a funeral for a miscarriage?" there are a lot of factors and possibilities that we can consider, and the pnly real thing that determines right and wrong is deciding when the decicive time is that life begins.
It's hard, but I'll try to keep up.
