[quote=Spencer Collins;22096]"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)

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.

Actually, the compromise, in my view, probably saved many many lives.

Cancer is also life. We decide every day who lives and who dies. THousands of homeless will freeze to death this year, thousands of children will succumb to disease, in our own country. Yet we decide to fund other countries every year to help them maintain life. We decide that their sick and helpless are more important than our own.
I don't believe that life starts at conception. Life starts at birth. Most abortions are done, prior to being able to put the pieces back together and form anything that resembles human.

Ok, I can see that. I would also bet that many "conservatives", would become very pro-choice under the right circumstances. I am not even talking about rape, or possible death. It is easy to say that one is pro-life without ever being put in a position to make the choice.

I am forced to remain forever Independent.You see..I see the good and the bad in both philosophies.

You and I have similar political end, with different views. I am pro-choice, and pro-death penalty. I am fiscally conservative, while I am liberal with civil rights.
