If you can refer me to any reputable biology text which doesn't make clear distinctions between embryo, foetus, baby, child and human being I'll reconsider my opinion: until then I'll stick to science and my firm belief that an adult woman is more important than a collection of cells which has the potential to become a human being.
The reason it's less important is because of that potentiality, which obviously totally distinguishes it from a toddler or a 13 or 16 year old.
I am not suggesting abortions are desirable or that they should be used as birth control BUT the final decision has to be the woman's: as I keep saying, the alternative is COMPULSORY MOTHERHOOD - NO GOOD FOR WOMEN OR CHILDREN IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCES
Pro-choicers are silly?
