00008 .. I'm so sorry Isherwood that you have a problem .. It's probably because the scientific fact of life from the moment of conception does not support your religious (Secular-Humanistic) adgenda .. that is indeed a problem .. you are truely a god, knowing good and evil
from conception to birth

the scientific facts
we can split an atom
we can put men on the moon
we can send probes to mars
we can operate on children in utero
we can now manipulate and/or re-create DNA
oh, but we can't find when life begins ?? ..
give me a break
since we have accepted the technology of the atom
(only when it agrees with our adgenda)
and have rejected the sermon on the mount
we therefore have a society full of nuclear giants and ethical infants
PS: the poll is in my favor @ this point (2008-02-09) 46.62%
24.05% at birth
29.32% other ~ explain . . . . . well .. explain
.....................
Yea .. just like the south who believed that Africans were sub-human and could be enslaved .. bought and sold like cattle .. used and abused by those who thought themselves to be elite . . . . . . I think that science and reason has dictated otherwise . . . . if your "morality" is not based on truth .. you would do good not to call yourself moral .. but rather immoral (or at-least ignorant)
PS: this beginning thread pole is suggesting that you who are of 29%
explain your "reasoning" I would suggest that you
get-er-done Knowledge is power, and with it comes responsibility, use it well
PS: does anyone on this forum have the guts (or should I say: the moral fortitude)
to describe for us the details of a partial-birth-abortion ???

I'm not telling you or trying to "dictate" to you how you should run your life
it's
your life and you stand before God on that one (believe in him or not)
I just wouldn't want to be standing to close to you on that day
FYI . . . cells that are dividing and growing are alive
nothing is added to the newly concieved fertalized egg (a new human being)
other than time and nutrition . . . scientific fact 101
