28. I don't think one cell with a sperm in it is a baby. And I don't know when that cell
actually becomes a baby. But I believe that if a fetus could survive on its own or in an incubator then it should be born.

According to some the use of the pill is abortion because it just stops the fertilized egg from attaching to the uterine wall. So ask these people who are rabid pro-lifers if they use the pill, (or their spouse) or the IUD or basically anything except a condom because all other methods of birth control leave it open for a cell to be fertilized.

As far as the embryo or fetus or whatever you call it having a soul I believe that if that soul is not born from that womb it will be born from another. And I believe it is all in a grand plan and we don't have to worry about it.

Personally I had to come to terms with abortion for my own self. I don't believe this crap that is spewed that there are millions of abortions done in a year. I think the number is much smaller.
