69. so which rope do you cut?

I take it you favor cutting the Mom's - who may have other children who need her at home? or favor having a child who won't have a Mother - or who may be born with serious medical conditions that will cause it significant pain and suffering for as long - or as little - life it has. speaking of, the child might die quite immediately after "birth" so killing the MOM would have been somewhat of a waste, now wouldn't it?

What IS your definition of "Life" - sperm? Egg? fertilization? Implantation? Blastocysts? At what point, exactly do you consider it a LIFE and not a bunch of cells?

Yes, how many self-identified "independents" are people unwilling to call themselves Republicans? NYC Liberal May 2012 #1
