14. I like and agree with a lot of what you say
My greatest concerns on this issue are the "life begins at conception" and "abortion kills a baby" arguments.

I don't understand how pro-life groups are going to respond to details when presented with them, after the 'big issue' is won.

If abortion is legally defined as killing, how do we deal with the problem of tubal pregnancies. You must kill one life (the embryo) to save another (the mother). Wouldn't we have to change our entire definition of murder to deal with that? If killing blastocyst is made illegal - how do we then go ahead and do it with the blessing of the state?

Will we force women to die eventually, because of this?

If you give them an inch, they then want the next foot. I believe in compromise, but how do you deal with an enemy who believes in slowly chipping away your foundation beneath you?
