It seems to me that much of the abortion debate is not about when "life" begins but rather when "personhood" begins.

I'd have to agree with you. And anyway not much discussing seems to happen, just lots of hysteria.

Oops, I accidentally repped you on this post! Actually, I was thinking you were saying the opposite~

Frankly, I consider abortion to be an "act of violence" in and of itself.

I think you mean "impose". How do you want to have a debate when you depend on your opponents to get your points across?

Next time I'll explain to you why sharia has no Christian equivalent, but that's enough thinking for you for the day. Don't want to give you a headache.

NO SALE!
You might as well say 11 year-olds are fair game, since they're still forming. There's no magic threshold - it's a gradual process.
