You still are not addressing the issue of personhood. Regardless of what someone believes on the issue there should be an agreement that the judgement should be based upon what that actually is and not emotional or mystical arguments. | |

Robert, the issue of personhood has been addressed lots of times in this thread. ____________  In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move. - Douglas Adams | |

The tax deduction for a dependent occurs in the year of birth not the year of conception. | |

The tax deduction for a dependent occurs in the year of birth not the year of conception. Anyone see a contradiction? :) | |

If a woman miscarries naturally in the first trimester it is not recorded as a birth. | |

I think some of the anti-abortion crowd are masking another agenda. They feel that women who have sex for reasons other than procreation, in other words for fun, are committing a sinful act and allowing abortions to be legal encourages them to be sinful. These people would also ban forms of birth control that prevent fertilization. | |

These people would also ban forms of birth control that prevent fertilization. Or not pay for them. IE as the case of Catholic churches complaining about the health care reform bill. Use the rythym medthod they say. Yeah that works out real good. Granted birth control is not 100% but some methods are absolutely dismall. ____________  | |

If you are an employer, follow ALL anti-discrimination rules. ____________ | |

These people would also ban forms of birth control that prevent fertilization. I think it is even more sinister than that. The thing that had the biggest effect on women's liberation was control over their own fertility. A pregnant woman can't work, a woman with lots of children can't support herself. By trying to take back control over women's fertility the patriarchal elements in society are trying to push her back into the home and back under control of her husband. In some cases this is quite blatant, for example when they try to introduce legislation that means a husband must give permission for abortions. The next step will be going back to when women had to be married to get birth control and have the permission of their husband. These attitudes towards woman are not so far removed from those held in Saudi Arabia. ____________ In the beginning the Universe was created.
