Yes it is, . . . if what's inside the woman is not a baby! ------------------------------ Please tell us Mikki, when is the magic moment when 'It' becomes a baby? You're not impressed with 12 weeks (others are) - at what tick of the clock, at what added cell or at what location (inside, half inside, all the way out) does an 'it' become a person? Ahhh, we can't tell. So (like the Supreme Court - soon to overrule itself again) the fiat is given . . . HERE! I agree wholeheartedly with you about the need to HELP women, and I am involved in doing this through a local Birthright, but doesn't it ever strike you as a little bit odd that we DO have cases every day in which in one room doctors are trying to kill the same thing that other doctors are trying to save in the next room?????? WHY are the doctors working on the premie??? WHY are the doctors leaving the other (in the case of 'live birth') to die??? WHAT IS DIFFERENT ABOUT THE TWO LITTLE BODDIES THAT WARRANTS DIFFERENT BEHAVIOR?(of course that's bodies) but, if you're still reading, don't let that divert you from my question please. ----------------------------------- Is the difference one is wanted and the other an embarrassment? One is at the 'right time in my life' and the other not??? Please tell me the difference, because I really want to believe that we have NOT been killing babies to make our lives more convenient!!!!!! Talk about the pain and struggle of the mother, however real, does NOT take away the fact that there is 'something' there that if not KILLED will be a baby shortly. It is alive, and cover it with as much sugar as you wish, abortion stops that life! And no one can tell me WHEN that 'something' becomes a baby! Can you? Regards, Ken Arndt
