Well, there are laws to protect dogs as well as humans, and I'm rather attached
to mine. He understands a small subset of English words (40 maybe) and has
real emotional depth.. I'm also attached to my cat who understand intonation,
and if someone intentionally killed her I would react quite violently..
(perhaps even if it wasn't intentional..) I want to give the fetus more then
benefit of a doubt, I want to protect it beyond the shadow of a doubt.
Conception is obviously beyond the shadow of a doubt, 12 weeks is as well I
think. I hope this is what lawmakes had in mind when they set a limit on how
late an abortion can occur..
