Abortion back on the top of the agenda

[9th Engineer]

Ah yes, because requiring a woman to decided whether or not to carry her baby to term before a certain deadline is the exact same thing as requiring her to sit in a back-ally with a coat hanger up her cooch. Why is it that anyone who wants to actually put some thought into issues like this can't find a spot on either side? This is not "slitting the throat of Roe vs Wade" or any of the stupid crap the sensationalists are pasting on the front-page news. It's saying that there is a point at a child's development before birth at which it has reached a stage of development which we would call human where it outside the uterus.
Abortion, like every issue more important then one's choice in shampoo, must not be allowed to degenerate into an all-or-nothing screaming fest from the extremes. Anyone want to argue from a scientific position rather then an emotional one?
