First, I still want to know when is it NOT OK to kill the baby???

Now, PETA and abortion
Partial Birth Abortions have been proven to the satisfaction of many scientists to induce pain. It is still controversial at how early a point the baby feels pain.
A pain expert claims that a form of late-term abortion, banned under a new federal law, would cause a 20-week-old fetus to suffer "severe and excruciating" pain.

"Into the mind unborn" - A Summary New Scientist 19 October 1996, p 40Premature babies can be kept alive from as young as 24 weeks. There is thus a significant overlap between late fetuses and early infants. It remains unclear to what extent reflex reactions or incresed hormone levels indicate a subjective experience of pain.

From Peta Home page-

1.Compare that to-"Commando Chicks. They’re trying to stop the year-round killing of 9 billion birds who are sensitive, feeling beings, just like dogs and cats."..."Warning! This package contains the decomposing corpse of a small, tortured bird," at supermarkets everywhere.
2.(Farmed animals)...they suffer from extreme forms of abuse and neglect, from intensive confinement to forced starvation to body mutilations like debeaking, castration and dehorning without painkillers.
3.PETA has always maintained the commonsense idea that fish, like every other animal, can feel pain and suffer. Now, findings from a new study conducted by Edinburgh University and the Roslin Institute in the U.K. have proved exactly that.
4.Federal law says that in slaughterhouses, cows, pigs, and lambs must be stunned before their throats are slit, (PETA call for a boycott)... to ensure that animals killed for its stores are not grossly abused.
5.Their video-Chew on This-...Not only does vegetarianism spare billions of animals from horrific suffering, it also spares your waistline.

Too bad PETA doesn't give a rat's behind about the suffering of unborn babies, they appear to be pretty effective.
