"The real question today is not when human life begins, but, 'What is the value of human life?' The abortionist who reassembles the arms and legs of a tiny baby to make sure all its parts have been torn from its mother's body can hardly doubt whether it is a human being." President Ronald Reagan, (1983)
Sorry..it may have been crude but I could not help quoting the "Gipper",a man this Independent voted for twice!
Scientists define this event as the start of a human organism -- of human life. The presence of a unique human DNA code also signals the start of a human person.The "compromise" the SC made in RvW was just wrong. Compromise can be a good thing but in that case,compromise was a form of denial and it was made for expediancy.Again..these abortion debates do little to change one's mind. Either one respects the sanctity of life at all stages or they do not.

Thank you,I am open minded on most issues. So much so that I often voted for "Democratic" candidates knowing full well that they supported "choice".Believe me..I still get flack from my Republican friends for "supposedly" supporting the right to murder innocent children! However..some of them know me better,they know that I have never been nor ever will be..a single issue voter.I have spent time and money fighting abortion.Together, with like minded people,our state successfully ended tax funded abortions.

There is no "possibility" of life in question here,life already exists within the womb. This should not be a simple question of mere "seniority"..human life is on the line!

It would be safe to say that most..not all..pro-choice people are liberals. Since they take that stance,one would assume they would be more open to termination of life than most conservatives would be. Therefore,in a sense..they unwittingly breed themselves into political extinction.

That's is true of "most" conservatives,I am anti-abortion and for the most part,anti-death penalty. But then again..I am neither a liberal or a conservative,I am both liberal and conservative and I would not wish this political dichotomy on anyone. I am forced to remain forever Independent.You see..I see the good and the bad in both philosophies.
