Dear Ethereal,

Perhaps it is each woman and each family that ultimately decides when Human life begins. Various governments decide when human life begins. 40% of the abortions in the world are performed under governments that have passed laws restricting Abortion.

I think is pointless to debate because you are just arguing, and you already have your mind made up. You are arguing aginst tne pro choice arguments, and not really putting forth a summary of the logic supporting your position.

Thomas Paine discussed self evident truths in Common Sense, I believe. What may be self evident to you, may be differently self-evident to others, on complex issues such as abortion.

6000 children are dieing each day from unsafe drinking water. This is clearly a destruction of human life. Is it murder? Is is murder to bring a child into the world, for which you cannot reasonably provide safe drinking water?

Is child abuse to eat fish, when a woman is late for a period, and has no access to a pregnancy test? If the child is brain damaged from his mother eating too much Mercury tainted fish, early in a pregnancy, while the child's brain is developing, how is that abuse of the child different from dropping a child on its head?
