I know this is an old entry and that you'll probably never read this, but I just had to respond to you.
A foetus is not a child, a foetus is not a child, a foetus is not a child! Don't you get it?
I find the change in language by Right to Lifers over the years very interesting: they used to go on about "unborn babies" now it's "unborn children" and I've even heard them referring to a foetus as a "human being" - sorry, it's not any such thing. It has the potential to become a human being, but the woman in whose body it's been conceived IS a human being and should not be subjected to compulsory motherhood by ANYONE
No I don't get it Ellenna, and I never will.
And a baby is a baby from the moment he/she is conceived.
No use trying to change my view as it'll never happen.

Are you seriously suggesting that there is no transition stage between the joining of the sperm & ova in conception and a baby capable of surviving independently from its mother? That's just not how it is in the real world.
I concede that the zygote or foetus is a POTENTIAL human being, but that still doesn't make it a baby and doesn't give it more rights than the ACTUAL human being who owns the uterus.
You're totally entitled to your view, but you don't have the right to impose it on women who choose abortion over going through an unwanted pregnancy and giving birth to an unwanted child.
Incidentally, are you also opposed to contraception, war and/or the death penalty? In all circumstances? Just wondering how consistent your views are, and whether or not you would want your views enforced legally on other people.
IIN to have had 6 abortions over 25 years? It's legal here (Australia)

You hit the nail right on the head. You are absolutely correct. Pro-Lifers? HA! More like Anti-Choicers!

Is it so wrong for me to promote the life of an innocent unborn child. Did I miss something. Yes I am pro life and proud. x
