So why isn't it wrong at 1 month?

Did you know that the eyes, head, jaw, and the rest of the face are visible at just three to four weeks? I'm not saying abortion is OK before that though (see my lecture on development starts with the first cell which contains 46 chromosomes (46 chromosomes makes a human, if you didn't know) in this thread).

I don't understand how you can say that abortion is OK until a "certain point in development". That makes no sense in any way. The second that sperm cell and egg cell join, you have the basis of a HUMAN BEING.

Let me ask you something. Do you consider yourself pro-life or pro-choice (it doesn't look like you've voted in the poll). It's not clear when you say it's OK until a "certain point".

This is incorrect. Pull some info from a credible source. I can not continue this debate with someone who is uninformed or misinformed.

My final words to you: abortion in any way, shape, or form is wrong. When you abort a pregnancy of any stage, you are stopping a life. I hope and pray that you will never have to make a critical decision on whether or not you will abort a pregnancy, but if you I hope that you will make the right and moral decision - life.

The way I see it, a bunch of guys debating abortion is kind of a moot point. Has a female even posted ONCE in this thread?

Ultimately, it's the woman's choice. In practical terms, it's up to the person carrying the child. Nobody should make the assumption that this is an easy choice. Because it's not, of course it's not. It's probably the biggest decision a couple can make.

I think what it may come down to for parents is the factor of not knowing. If they abort, they know what's happened to the child. If they put him or her up for adoption, in a lot of cases, they probably DON'T know what's happening. Adoption agency screening processes in the U.S. are apparently not very good. It's not like they give them to anyone but it takes a lot to be denied by what I've heard. That could very well be wrong (and I'm sure AJ will come back with a long retort to that because this is apparently very important to him).

My stance is unchanged. I still think it's a matter of the hardest decision of a parent's life, but ultimately it's still a decision. I'm not pro-abortion, I don't necessarily think they're ever NECESSARY, but it's up to them so long as the practice is legal.

Well, I still think that if you don't consider a fetus a human being, then don't consider a newborn one. It's not about whether or not it will miss life; to me, it's who the person shall become.

And as I stated before, I still think it shouldn't be the parents' choice. They may feel insecure not knowing what happened to their child, and the child may be insecure not knowing who their real parents are (or knowing but never meeting them) but it's not about the parents. It's about the child. I don't believe in that an abortion is a woman's right because it is her body, because it is also the body of her baby.

I don't think that government necessarily has to step in to say it's illegal, but I don't think it should step in and say it's legal either. Once they did that it became a political issue. If it was the choice of the hospitals whether or not to perform abortions, that would make this a debate about if abortion is right, not if it should be legal.

Fin.
