>Prove that a >=3 month fetus is a sentient human being and not simply<br />
>a bag of tissues with <strong>the</strong> potential to _become_ a human being.<br />
Prove to me that you are a sentient human being and not just a bag<br />
of tissues with a somewhat complex system of organization (or for that<br />
matter a computer program cleverly trained to mimic a human pro-choicer).<br />
We are all just bags of tissues, friend.<br />
BTW, are you endorsing restrictions on post-first-trimester abortions?<br />

Simply put, this group wishes by government action to compel<br />
doctors to preserve human life. When <strong>the</strong> law did so, doctors<br />
and quacks illegally performed procedures that undeniably<br />
eliminated human lives for convenience or economics or something<br />
else. This group doesn’t wish to compel women to breed. By<br />
her own actions, <strong>the</strong> woman’s life is undeniably altered whe<strong>the</strong>r<br />
or not she aborts or brings <strong>the</strong> child to term.<br />

Well we certainly don’t want to intrude into people’s lives, I suggest we<br />
return to <strong>the</strong> pro-choice stand and allow parents to raise (or kill)<br />

What if <strong>the</strong>y are poor and can’t afford <strong>the</strong> child? What if <strong>the</strong> child is<br />
retarded? What if <strong>the</strong> child gets D’s in school? Not only should we<br />
repeal all <strong>the</strong> child abuse laws and child murder laws, because children
