Ray, the major premise that formulates the logic for both of us on this issue is different. You think that abortion is Ok. I don't. So.....the syllogism goes something like this: Ray: Aborting a fetus is OK Embryos are the first stage of fetal development Therefore, destroying embryos is OK. Me: Aborting a fetus is not OK Embryos are the first stage of fetal development Therefore, destroying embryos is not OK Pro-choice folks will *never* understand why pro-life folks have taken a stand on this issue and vice versa. We are oceans apart. I stood on the fence on this issue until I read TIME magazine's report on stem cell research that stated, "Extracting knowledge from embryos that would otherwise be wasted is one thing, but scientists admit that moving forward would require a much larger supply of fresh, healthy embryos than fertility clinics could ever provide." (TIME, Aug. 7, 2006) That single statement pulled me off the fence. ------------ Mary Ann (CG Jamie 66/26 with PD) -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
