like i said, i prioritize. same way nature does. If i were a woman, I'd like to still have the right to prioritize my own will above that of the fetus inside me. and nature gives women that right. you're arguing with nature Grant.

until the baby's existence is known

ok, when i was talking about the time between conception and birth it was in reference to the various discussions you've been engaged in with others. and a common crux of the abortion debate centring on the when of the matter. I will stress, I don't know enough about the science of the issue to comment on when exactly personhood comes to pass. I don't think it's relevant to my outlook. i guess when the pregnancy test comes back positive. maybe when the scientists say personhood comes to pass.
I'm happy that the west had writers like dickens, woolf, etc to begin to enlighten us on the plight of women and children way back then. that's a start.

Ok I see what you mean, by classifying infanticide as worse than forced abortion, (which i will stress are both horrendous), and because I support a woman's right to do as she wishes with her body? I'm denying person hood to the aborted child? I don't think I am. but in this case I guess I kind of prioritize person hood.
-
sorry, I'm not sure understand the second paragraph, what justification I have for denying person hood? difficult for me to be objective?

ok grant, to be more clear. I'm not sure how much it still goes on here, just talked to a friend who's parent was in that department.
i find it atrocious. but I don't find it half as disturbing as the families who go through with the pregnancies and then ditch or kill the girl child.
I've been following your argument over at which point the baby constitutes human life, resplendent with the rights and privileges accorded in NZ: sometime in that brief time period between conception and birth.
Here, on the other hand, you'd be hard pressed to pin that abstracted moment down with anything less than a margin of error of about 70 years.
people will tell you a baby is just seed owned by the parents....

I just don't feel that expressing my opinions about it any more directly or coherently are in my best interests at this particular juncture. What were you hoping for Grant?
-
yeah, sorry about that. feel free to compress it.

not that if there were 1000s of countries I'd wish them to punish lawmakers in an inhumane manner.
