re: #476 Rightwingconspirator

Did you see the story about the pregnant woman that contested a ticket for solo driving in the HOV lane? She lost the case but the Judge loved her. She had adroitly pointed out that in California if you murder a pregnant woman, it’s a double murder.

Now my opinion happens to be it is a living human being at conception, but that has no impact on a woman’s right to choose. She has the ultimate right to continue or terminate.

I really upset the right to lifers with that. But I do point out we give life and death decision rights in our culture where apropriate.

I don’t believe it is a person, but it is a potential person (after implantation only), and I agree that the woman has the right to do away with it, no matter what you call it. Self-defense, and control of one’s own body.

Calling it a human being before implantation is too far. 50% of fertilized eggs become part of a period. It’s crazy (IMHO) to even think of them as human beings.
