Quote by: dogma inc  for all those pro-lifers out there; a question:
at what point is a "potential person" created?
Having sex with a condom: the sperm could have POTENTIALLY fertilized the egg, but you stopped it.
Likewise, aborting a fetus: that fetus could have POTENTIALLY become a person, but you stopped it.
It's all for the same goal isn't it? To not have a child. Because, whether you like it or not, it would be INCONVENIENT to have a child to both the girl and her partner having the sex AND the girl and her partner aborting the child.
In that case, with this arguement of "potential people" you bring into question birth control. At what point does "killing a potential human" make any sense? Is making sure someone doesn't come into existence any less than killing them?

I have a problem with interfering with a process that will result in a human life without fail. I.E. the human act of sex is required for the sperm issue but once conception has happened there is no human participation needed for the process, all we can do is impede it.
