First, to clarify, I don't need any help killing babies. If I got paid to do it, I'd be a rich man, and I'd still do it on the weekends as my hobby.

No, not really.

The whole debate hinges on when life begins. I guess its a personal choice. some say when the child draws the first breath and some (like me) say when the cells start to divide.
You're probably right. However, legally, one side gets screwed either way here apparently. And I guess you've got to ask yourself that even if abortion isn't desirable (and it's not, I admit that) is it better to respect the rights and autonomy of some fetus, or of the actual sentient beings with lives of their own?

Chrissy has been so eager to prove that fetus are alive that she's cast the largest net she can. And I guess I'll have to conceed that fetus, and embryos, hell, even eggs, sperm and singular cells, are all alive.

When you reduce life to this term though, it becomes less special. You see, I consume life everyday. I'm a vegetarian, but my lunch is still a holocaust for the proud race of romaine lettace and cucumbers.

You've really boxed yourself into a corner, because now, in order to convince me that abortion is wrong, you'll also have to explain to me why we shouldn't operate on tumors, dislodge tapeworms, or eat... well, apparently anything other than rocksalt.

Ain't equivocation a bitch?
