Was it unreasonable for me to conclude that your sentence "You have to draw the line somewhere" as a response to my post was an indication that you agreed with what I thought were your opinions?

This was actually in response to your thing about Rigid Definitions. It was more or less an objection to your implication that I was basing my argument on rigid definitions, when the whole point of my argument has been that you can't simply unilaterally generalise and say that Abortion should be banned...

I used your rigid definitions and logic to produce an argument, I asked questions for which your only answer was "You have to draw a line somewhere." It certainly does suggest that you were in agreement with what I proposed were your beliefs on "where to draw the line".

I'm sorry if I didn't answer your questions. I thought they were rhetorical...

Your earlier posts seemed to suggest that abortion was okay as long as it was performed on a foetus, therefore drawing a line. A foetus is the baby while it is in the womb. Now, suddenly, you claim you don't know where to draw the line.

Did they? I never got that impression, although I suppose I am biased in that I wrote the damn things...
EDIT: Tom has just pointed out that, although I apologised for not answering your questions, I didn't actually answer them. I will do so now...
Hmm. Having looked back over your questions, there isn't much I can say. Not being a biologist, I have no idea how "Foetus" is defined... You'd have to ask Abby or somebody... As for premature births, I'm almost certain those are defined as Children, although I could be wrong...
[I'm doing a Biology A-Level, I ought to know things like this... :S]
