Well, I don't think that pro-lifers and 'abortionists' will ever agree on whether a blastocyst is a real human being, but I still think that in the long run it shouldn't matter.
The mortality of a growth/human inside a woman is entirely her decision - especially when she has been raped or did not intend to have the child. This ties in with my thoughts on euthanasia - that it's not so much murder as a mercy killing.
I'd say that being raised by parents who didn't want you is worse than being scraped out of the uterus whilst you were too busy coagulating to feel mental or physical pain.
That's just my opinion, though...in reality, I just wish that less people had kids. Adopt somebody that's already alive and alone instead of bombing abortion clinics when a developing foetus is terminated.
*** On a side note, do pro-lifers complain at pounds or veterinary clinics when animals are put down? Do they believe in some way that a living cat or dog is less alive than a foetus? ***
