As far back as I can remember baby's first sign of life started with a doctor's slap, including my own children, and if one slap wasn't enough, he kept doing it until the baby cried in protest.


That is called Torturing a child! No kidding! The first trauma's take place at birth!
Th whole thing about birth in a hospital is terrible!!!!

Good grief. Spare me the extremist slogans.

I doubt that thousands are turned down for third-trimester abortions (though I admit not being interested enough to look up any numbers).

If they are, they should have gotten their abortion before the fetus was viable.


You're kidding yourself. You can't make established things you don't like go away with ifs ands and buts - nobody can.

Much of the United States prohibits elective abortions after viability, only allowing such abortions if there is some sort of serious deformity in the fetus or if there is a danger to the mother.

If you don't like that, lobby your state legislature to change the law.

I once read a book on fuzzy logic where the author suggested that life does not begin entirely at conception or entirely at birth, but gradually, over the period between the two points in time.

True, there is no awareness (life) the first days after a baby is born, just pooping, peeing, crying, and diaper changes -- all reactions to stimuli - no thought, no memory...

@Rickoshay75,
However the fuzzy theorist says life has completely begun by birth. It's just at times prior to birth that he says life has "partially" begun.

Regardless of when it starts...it is a unique situation...

...and if a pregnant woman decides to terminate the pregnancy occurring her own body...

...she should have unrestricted rights to do so.

If it terminates a life because some people want to describe a fetus as a living human...so be it.

But the woman should be the sole determinant of whether to continue a pregnancy or not...not the government.

Great way of putting it. I couldn't do it better.

I used to be so absolute on this issue of abortion, like everything else I guess, the older I get the less absolute I am. In the end, I find myself coming down on the side of choice, it was a long time in coming.

As far as the question, no idea. I tend the think life begins at conception rather like a flower to begins to grow, the life of a baby has a many stages before it blooms so to speak into life. (my own reasoning, not anything scientific or anything)

@Rickoshay75,
Life is at conception - there is no doubt that it is a life. I think the question is when does this life equate to human life.

If we are talking about when it would be morally OK to terminate a fetus, perhaps the decision should be left up to the fetus,

Awareness starts when the child's memory coincides with what is happening around it and to it -- when it discovers it's ME and the consequences of being ME.

@revelette2,
When I was younger meaning before actually being pregnant myself, I didn't have a strong opinion though my basic thought is when a choice is something in the moral reasoning one should have a choice as everyone's morals are different.

That being said, after being pregnant and having a baby, myself, I could not see terminating a pregnancy -- after hearing the heart beat and feeling the baby move and experiencing all that - but that is my personal moral stance and take away someone else's moral belief (although it would be difficult for me to understand ending a life) I could not do.

The fetus is inside a woman's body. She makes the decision for the fetus.

I was thinking one might wait for the fetus to develop.
