[QUOTE="halizad, post: 3272626, member: 130768"] You get the pro-lifers sliding the concern scale to the end that says "This is a human life" and then applying that across the whole term of the pregnancy. That's not right. Certainly not accurate from a biological perspective. Then you get the extreme pro-choicers that slide the scale all the way over to "This is not a human life" and then apply that across the whole term of the pregnancy. That's not right either. Certainly not from an embryological perspective. I'd put the truth somewhere in the middle and then give myself a margin of error up towards the "human life" end and err on not aborting foetuses beyond something life 12-16 weeks. If you haven't decided what to do with a potential baby in 16 weeks then you really should have to face the consequences. Medical concerns for the mother and foetus would obviously amend that time upward right up until birth (if the mother was going to die and decided she'd rather the foetus did instead, if such a medical decision could actually be made).
