[QUOTE]Originally posted by Omega: [QB] First: "As I understand it, the morning-after pill causes a change which prevents the tiny cluster of 16 cells or so from attatching to the uterus wall, so that it exits the body the same way an unused egg would." If that's the case, I'd be against the thing. You leave a zygote alone, at no matter what stage, it has a chance of developing directly into what is indisputably a human being. There is no reason not to give it the benefit of the doubt. It IS a human being, in it self. "As to your definition of 'right' I might point out that some unhindered people self-destruct, while others willingly abrogate the other rights you described." True. How 'bout we define "right" as anything that you can do that does not directly harm someone else, and anything you have to do to defend those rights? Does that sound good? Bryce: "That's all I have to say and that's all I believe needs to be said." No offence intended, bud, but that's the reason this debate is still going on in the world. One side says "Abortion is murder, murder is wrong." The other side says "Abortion is the woman's right." They never have a legitimate debate like we're having now, so no one ever gets anywhere. We start with the assumptions that a human has a right to live, that infringing that right is murder, and that murder is wrong. Assuming that everyone agrees with these assumptions, the debate is over whether an unborn child constitutes a human being. We've already established that murder is wrong. Besides, the original Hebrew would more appropriately translate as "Thou shall not kill", not "Thou shall not murder". [IMG]http://flare.solareclipse.net/smile.gif[/IMG] [/QB][/QUOTE]
