Okay... just out of curiosity, if having children is selfish due to the use of resources, for exactly what are the resourses there? The cockroaches who will survive an atomic attack?

The issue of abortion will NEVER be resolved. There will always be those who fundamentally believe in the sanctity of life starting at conception. There will always be those who feel that "embryonic selection/reduction", potential disease, rape, incest and such are all acceptable reasons for an abortion. And there will always be those who find themselves inconveniently pregnant and choose to abort.

I think we can all agree that these three parts of the whole debate will never come to a compromise, because of the value system of each individual.

I've stated before that I will never understand how hundreds of thousands of dollars can be used to keep a wanted 22-week fetus/baby alive, while the brains of an unwanted 32-week fetus/baby can be lawfully sucked out & used as spare parts.

I just find the entire argument riddled with hypocrisy.

(moe.ron - I tried to keep this as unthreatening as possible!)
