So I watched the Inauguration of Barack Obama, 44th President of the United States of America. How cool was it having Aretha Franklin sing? She is so great, I love her voice.
Okay, so I wanna talk a little bit about abortion. This is a response to a comment on Mirrorboy's blog. It was about The Freedom of Choice Bill. I do think that people should have the option to abort, but I agree with restricting late term abortions. However I don't think parents of minors should have to be informed if it is being done for the reasons referred to as therapeutic. Also, if late term abortions are disallowed, then a foetus is not being harmed.
I disagree with conception being deemed the start of life. At conception, there is only the single-cell organism. It isn't even an embryo. It has the potential to be a human, but only in the same way a seed has the potential to be a plant. Under the right conditions it could possibly become a plant, but it is not an actual plant.
Anywho, I'm bored.
Laters,
Joshua.

To me, life begins more when the fetus can survive on its own, outside of the mother. Until that point, it's a fetus with potential.
If you take conception as the beginning, then some forms of birth control become abortions.
If abortion is re-criminalized and conception declared the beginning of life, women who have miscarriages could be tried and convicted of murdering their babies.
Not a pretty picture . . .
