i see. you are only against so-called "partial birth abortions". i guess, if you are right, we'll let a few 10's of women per year die in order to turn a fetus into a baby, i guess in those numbers, it's not so bad.
but i'll be glad to hear that you affirm that months before birth, that it is a fetus, not a person, and you agree that nobody should be forced to put their body into the service of any 'person', least of all a fetus.

it takes no effort at all -- people go through this experience evey day in maternity wards across the nation. if you don't see what a radical act birth is, i don't know how to explain it to you.
