> Well, since no one else seems to share my views, I am both pro-choice and pro-capital punishment. While I do not like to see prenatal children killed, I do not disapprove of abortions early in pregnancy. The brain of the embryo is not developed to a point that would make it capable of feeling pain or living a sentient life. While it may look vaugely human, so does a gorilla, this doesn't make it human. I like to think that humans are characterized and separated from apes because we are capable of civilization, technology, and the ability to think critically. Granted, it is possible that the embryo may become a being capable of these thibgs, but in many circumstances, I feel very strongly that the baby may be better off with God or where ever you happen to personally believe that under-developed embryos go to.


I'm guessing you're Christian, but if you are, you're kind of contradicting yourself. See, whenever a baby is conceived in a womb, they're alive and they have a soul. In Jeremiah, it says, "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you. Before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations. Jeremiah 1:5, ". See, you think that it's wrong to kill somebody when they're sentient, but fact is, it's wrong to kill somebody with a soul, and unborn babies most definetly have a soul.
