If you people can't see the difference between an egg/sperm and a fertilized egg, there's something wrong with you. These "menstruation/masturbation" arguments are just straw men. The real issue comes down to the fertilized egg. If natural processes are not interfered with, in nine months a fully developed human being will be born, without any help from exterior forces. Whether or not the fetus, at any stage of development, is capable of rational thought/surviving outside of the uterus is irrelevant. The point is, destroying it prevents that development from reaching its completion. By the way, we have a word for stopping the process of life: murder. How's that for logic, Kazan?

And enough with the whole, "Better to be dead than to live life as an unwanted child." Pardon my French, but that is the biggest crock of s*** I've ever heard. Once again, a straw man to help abortion advocates maintain their sense of moral superiority. No human being can determine, from present conditions, the future quality of an unborn child's life. It's an impossibility. How can you stand there in cold blood and say that ending a life is better than living a life, no matter the quality? Any person's circumstances can change; someone born from the lowest means may go on to be one of the most influential people in the world's history. And yet, you seem to be perfectly willing to dispose of all of that potential to protect some ficticious "right to choose." Guess what: that right to choice does not extend to harming someone else, "potential life" or not. Go ahead; keep denying the truth. Ever wonder why the women involved in Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton are now completely against abortion? Ever wonder why Planned Parenthood was founded by a woman who campaigned for eugenics? Ever wonder at the testimony of so many ex-abortion industry workers, at the lies hurled at the patients? Hmmm, maybe these people have figured it out. Keep deluding yourself there; hopefully someday you'll gain a shred of humanity.
