Okay, let me rephrase then since you seem to be misunderstanding me: Thought processes and functions do not begin at conception. At conception, there are no limbs, there is no brain. Even once the fetus is in its beginning stages, it cannot THINK. That's because it is not yet a baby, it is a glob of cells that is developing into one. Not everyone believes in "life upon conception," which is why this is acceptable. Removing a fetus to many is just the same as removing an appendix. Only personal philosophy brings this issue of "life" into it, and not everyone has your views - so why should your views regulate what they choose to do to their own body?

Nobody LIKES abortion. The bottom line is, should a woman under whatever circumstances have the choice to get an abortion or not. IMO they should have that choice because that's their choice to make, not anybody else's.

I'd also rather see a woman undergo an abortion in the sanitary confines of a hospital and have that fetus go to medical science, where it may improve many lives that already exist. The other option is to outlaw abortion and have women give birth to fully matured babies in public restrooms, then drown them in toilets.
