Shep - nice one, but obviously a baby in the neo-natal unit IS surviving without the mother, and is actually concious, (although not yet self-aware).
Do tell, though, whether you believe that the right to life begins at the moment of conception.

Obviously the breakdown in communication here applies to what 'human' actually means. It could get tricky.

Mothers have babies. Nine months after conception.

Seriously, Grant, you'll have to define 'baby' for us. What is a baby to you? Is it a human cell? Is it sixteen human cells? Would a mother call a mass of human cells, indistinguishable from any other cells, a baby?
-
Sorry Grant, but at conception a baby (nice use of emotive language there), is only potentially human. If it can't survive without the mother, (and is not actually conscious), then it's not fully human yet.

Between this, revoking the parole system, and attempting to remove MMP, I'm really starting to worry about the next few years.
I could totally see myself on top of a barricade in 2015.

This is fascinating. mark has single-handedly confirmed my suspicions that on any given topic, 90% of people should only do 10% of the talking.
Kudos to you, mark.

Who are these people? -
Has there been any serious polling done yet on how McCain and Obama would actually stack up head to head?
Also, regarding Bassett, I hate to generalise, (ha! not really), but are there actually any non-bitter baby boomers in the New Zealand media? Sometimes I wonder.

Personally, I find old white guys dressed in suits and ties more intimidating than any thug wannabe kid in a hoodie. Maybe it's because I know who has the real power.
Maybe the kids know that too.
