I'd just like to put my point of view in here because I love getting flamed... Personally, I do not believe that life begins at conception. I believe that a human is, by the sociological definition a Homo sapiens that can symbolize. Humans are the only species on the planet that can symbolize, that is take something and turn it into a symbol, such as a flag or an emblem. That said I do not believe in late term abortion. My feeling is, if they wanted to get an abortion they should have done it before the "pre-human" reached the later stages of development. Abortion at the early stages is no different then scratching your arm. Cells fall off, they die, a Homo sapiens shortly after conception is by no means a life because it doesn't fit into the biological definition of what life is...religion may say differently...but you show me one religion that has never, frequently, and on major issues, been wrong.
