[HAIL PIKEVILLE!]

I do not wish to tear you down. A corn seed is a living thing; however, it is not an ear of corn. A first trimester fetus cannot be exactly equated with a child outside the womb. I am not saying that I am a proponent of abortion. I am suggesting that the question you raised and claimed "never been answered" has been answered.

I didnt mean it hadnt been answered on this site. Although while yours was colorful I was looking for the right answer and got corn LOL!!! I work with some pro-choice advocates and have had many converstion with them on the subject. How is it our place to decide whether something is living or "not really"? If something IS in fact a living thing dont you agree that there should be no difference between one living thing and another regardless of the degree of life it has or hasnt had the chance to achieve? Im not one these extremists who wants to bomb abortion clinics or anything and I know that sometimes good people make bad choices. All I and the majority of pro-life advocates are saying is that a LIFE be it corn seed, an ear of corn, Orville Redenbacher or other wise, doesnt have to be lost because of those mistakes. The state of Alabama has it figured out better than anyone IMO. When a mother goes to a doctor and wants to terminate her pregnancy. The Doctor or Clinic she goes to is REQUIRED by state law to offer her the alternative of having the child and letting the hospital legaly take the child. The mother never has to see the child if she chooses not to and the hospital cares for the child until social services arrives and places the child with an adoptive family that will hopefuly love it and care for it. The mother is relieved of her responsibilities at that moment and MAYBE after going through morning sickness and swelled ankles for nine months she might think a little harder the next time about dropping her drawers before shes ready. A pound of cure is worth one ounce of pure prevention. GO BAMA!!! ROLL TIDE!!!! LOL!!!!
