Honestly I think your stance on abortion is a tad bit more controversial then your stance on the tobacco industry, I noticed that you seem in general to dislike the idea of abortion becoming a "quick fix" to one night stands and the like but you completely left out the chance of rape. I personally have no problem with abortion mainly because I place no value on a at most 24 week old bundle of flesh with no real nervous system that lacks any thing to call it human besides shape. I also have to ask if no one can tell which parts of the bible to truly believe and its supposed to the the divine manifestation of god, then its either all right, or you are saying that God is wrong, or man was wrong in their interpretation and that would make it impossible to tell which parts to truly believe in because it was all written by man.

Oh riiiiight, rape yeah forgot to mention that. That was the only argument that my classmates could come up with that didn't involve cussing, screaming, and throwing stuff at me. I'd like to introduce you to THESE FUN FACTS about rape http://www.abortionno.org/Resources/fastfacts.html

And your right, the fact that a baby begins to develop a nervous system at week 3, along with a heart that starts beating at around week 10 at least, definetly makes it less than human. And what do you mean 24 weeks? Is that the average life of a fetus for you?

And as for the whole God thing, it all comes down to when you think life begins. The 6th Commandment of the 10 Commandments states "THOU SHALT NOT KILL". If your like me and consider life as beginning at conception, abortion infrindges on it.

24 weeks refers to the average cut off limit on when an abortion can be done in the states, though some states cut it off at 20 weeks and other countries set the bar even lower, also the page you listed had nothing on rape, just the demographics of abortion. As for cussing and screaming I do not have an emotional connection to abortion and I personally do not care if it was illegal, though the only current reason to make it illegal it would be based on a wholly ideological version of what life is, and therefore has no place in our government (separation of church and state and all that jazz). That's why I am fine with the current laws of abortion, with a scientific view, a fetus is not alive as we would consider alive from the moment of conception and for many months a fetus would make Terry Shaivo look like a genius quite literally, it has no conciseness, no awareness, and no sensation that is not a person that is a gollum.

????? Go back to the link and CTRL-F Rape, it shows the percentage of abortions related to rape

I could bring up a whole punch of statistics saying stuff about pain and how they develop touch and all the things that babies do in the womb instead of just sitting around and waiting to be born, but I just don't feel like it
