You have to draw the line somewhere.

Perhaps, but why is the place where you draw your line any better than where pro-lifers draw theirs? You've presented reasons for your argument: a lack of consciousness in the early stages of pregnancy. I agree that if an abortion
must be performed, it should be done early, ie, within the first three weeks. Is it safe for me to assume you believe abortion is okay as long as we define the unborn baby as a
foetus? I'm uncomfortable with your reasoning because there is no significant difference between a foetus of five months in the womb and a baby born four months premature, because you draw the line at whether or not the "organism" is in or out of the womb. I also disagree with what you said about abortion only being considered abortion within the first few months. As far as I knew, it's abortion up until birth, it just gets uglier the longer you wait.
