ABORTION.......

I did not leap in. I have been in since the beginning. It is just that I do not agree with you.

...and the false representative is????

The fact that you do not consider it to be insufficient evidence does not lessen it's value as evidence.

Hi Questioner,

I see that you've added 'You're lying' to your repetroire of non-responses. Nice job.

I refer you back to this post http://www.able2know.com/forums/a2k-post1506430.html&highlight=heartbeat#1506430 for a discussion from a medical standpoint that was submitted in court.

I have my doubts as to whether you will read it, but perhaps others who are interested in the topic will.

.......It is certainly an interesting read.........

Do you agree with the combined medical judgement of these experts, or do you know better than they?

BTW... the information was from 1971

I certainly can't disagree with them, as it's not my field.

Wouldn't you agree that it apparently wasn't enough evidence to get the job done?

You're most welcome MommaAngel. It was posted on another board I frequent and that is discussing this subject. This is maybe the most useful tool I've seen for those who wish to be fully informed on this subject and not just dogmatic in their point of view.

What I am asking you is, upon seeing the medical judgement of the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology, would you have come to the conclusion that the unborn is not a living human and not deserving of protection?

I've been giving your question quite a bit of thought RL.

After reading the information you posted I have to say that I would find it difficult to rule the same way the courts did. Now I say that with a few clauses built in:

1) I would most likely still allow abortions up until the 3 week period.
2) Certain cases would have to be given special attention, and allowances made.
3) Anonymity must be maintained, same as with any other Doctor/patient relationship.

Outside of that, I wouldn't have issue with the pro-life stance.

Having said all that, I'd like to note that until the laws change, I will still consider myself pro-choice.
