    Re: The "I Can't Believe There's No Abortion Thread" Abortion Thread

    Here's the logical distinction that trips up most people.

    "Life" begins when the first cell division occurs after a fertilized egg implants in the uterine wall. That is just basic biology.

    However, "human life" does not necessarily begin until several months later, after a certain amount of specialization occurs (the transition between an undifferentiated mass of cells into actual nascent spine, heart, liver, etc.)

    Since this subject can be so emotionally fraught for some people, individual experience matters. Those of us who have seen our own children in the womb during an ultrasound probably have a different visceral sense of when "human life" begins than those who have not. When you see that tiny little heart beating away, and observe the unmistakeable outline of a latent tiny little person there, it is no longer a theoretical argument.

      I thought it was a thread as soon as you start typing the first few letters in the subject line.

              Why would they? It's hardly a topic that hasn't been discussed on here before.

                  Is there a pill I can take now so this thread is gone tomorrow?

                  No. Wait. I made the decision. I must live with it. I knew the risks when I clicked, but I hope I didn't get a virus also.

                        Given who has posted on this thread, I'm not sure that's true. Remember, when you reply to someone you're replying to everybody who has replied to them.

                          What is there to discuss? This is a very black and white issue, unlike almost all other discussion threads where an open mind can be swayed and a good "conversation" can be had, though what percentage of the posters on this site are open minded about anything?

                            I'm completely convinced that 100% of them are, and there's nothing you can say that will make me change my mind.
                            If you don't change the world today, how can it be any better tomorrow?

                              i thought it was aborted when they scrub it before attempting to launch.

                                I don't look to get caught up in one thread over another. I love all these threads equally.
