No, life begins at conception period. I'm not sure I get where you are wanting to take me here. I have no notion that sex is only for procreation....
Not playing.... since I'm assuming the 5YO is not having an abortion. In our discussion, the only reason to make a choice is that there is a...
"Who are we..." questions are provocative not literal.
As with the other lost babies, let Nature take its course. Who are we to decide whether or not an innocent child is flushed or given a shot at...
I never said a word about "awareness." My anthropomorphism is fated by the unique, human genetic code that the child carries in utero.

I hope to be done here. I don't want to get caught up in tit-for-tat. Don't have time for it. I've answered these because I don't want to be...
I think the intent is more about the irony of those who pay nothing criticizing those who pay the majority. I agree that we need major tax reform...
Your substitutions inform (assuming they are reasonably factual), why can't their's?
See, I told you so.
