53. they aren't babies until...
That is the rhetoric used all the time in this argument. Is 4 cells a baby. How about a zygote? How about a three week old fetus? Did you know that at 5 weeks gestation it is impossible to visually tell the differnce between a human, chicken, and lizard fetus?

The problem is that YOU do see it as black and white. Birth good and no-birth bad. Black or white, gray, magenta, green, it still all boils down to how is it any of your business?

Is it your business if I masturbate? Is it your business if in the privacy of my own home with no potentail harm to any other living thing that I decide to smoke pot or have a vodka collins? Is it your business what diety I choose to or not to worship. NO IT ISN'T!!!

But somehow, once a woman becomes pregnant, she becomes a ward of the state? A prisoner to her symbaint? Her rights as a thinking feeling human being are stripped? because that is what you are talking about.
