Thanks for those who answered, no bias in the questions...you either do or you don't. It's that simple.

What about the fathers right to not have his child sucked down a sink? Just curious on your take in that regard.

The father should have the right to see the egg that he fertilized grow into a full term baby and be born into the world, just as soon as they figure out how to transfer the fetus into his body.

Why is it that a man who "chooses" to opt out of fatherhood and refuses to pay child support or have anything to do with his child is called a "dead beat dad" and a loser, yet a women who opts out of being a mother is celebrated for exerting control over her body.

You are at liberty to have your own opinion, without a doubt, but it is in no way "that simple." If one believes there is a fundamental difference between such stages as embryo, fetus, and newborn, then, as you can see clearly, your poll does not account for those.

Once those "unwanted cells" contain a beating heart is it still just unwanted cells?...or at what point do you consider it a life? Just an FYI, the heart starts beating at about four weeks after conception, so the vast majority of abortions are performed on preborn babies that have a beating heart.

1. Does Life include having a soul?

2. If it does have a soul, what about those thousands of fertilized eggs frozen in fertility labs, possibly for centuries?

3. Would it be better to keep those souls frozen, or to dispose of them so that the soul can return to it's Maker?

4. If it's OK to thaw and dispose of those fertilized eggs, why is the egg in the woman different? A soul should be a soul regardless. Surely, if there's Life and a Soul, there is a place in The Heavenly Kingdom for it.

Having worked in an Obstetrician's office for some years, I can tell you that sometimes an abortion is the lesser of two evils. If the woman thinks it better to take that sin upon her ownself, she should be allowed to do so.

Because that something is not biologically growing on its own. If it could sustain life on its own, I'd be opposed to the abortion but that is not the case, now is it? And for the record, if you want to use biologically growing as a basis for argument, I'd say every part of the human---fetus, cells, nails and hair are biologically growing and part of a human being---does that mean every time I cut my nails, I'm committing murder then?

So yes good sir/madam, I am comparing eating an egg with ridding a part of a woman's body that she does not wish to support. If you want to start a debate, then leave emotion out of it and lets get to the nitty gritty.
