You really need to see the movie Unplanned. It truthfully shows abortion - including Plan B. This movie isn't about politics - it's about letting everyone with an open mind see the truth. Of course, many cannot handle the truth so they won't watch it. [imdb.com]

Murder is murder. Nuff said.

My position on abortion is simple. If the, let's call it, unborn specimen is a person(or at least has become one at the point it is being aborted), it is wrong to kill it. If It's not(or is not yet), then it is not wrong to abort. I think the standard for person should hinge on ability to feel pain and/or consciousness(whichever comes first), which can be established earlier than the 20 week viability date given by the majority of pro choice people. Viability is to me an entirely arbitrary moral standard.

Since a zygote or embryo doesn't fit my definition, I think the morning after pill is permissible.

The idea of pegging the "beginning" of life to the heartbeat starting sees to be the best pragmatic compromise in this debate. The availability of the Plan B drugs make the excuses for other abortion methods much weaker IMHO, in that it is another layer of personal responsibility tools that had to be ignored to reach the need for the later methods.

I am a pro life person. I think that a cavalier attitude towards killing the unborn (at any stage) is a very unhealthy way for an individual or a society to function. In spite of that, I would not make abortion illegal. There is something inhumane about making a criminal out of a desperate woman. More widely known and accessible options other than abortion would help. More inexpensive access to tubal ligation and vasectomy would help. Maybe planned parenthood could offer that instead of baby killing? I suspect that making abortion (at any stage) socially unacceptable is a better solution than passing laws.

Bottom line is someone's got to come up with that 'when is life' answer. I've ridden the fence on the whole debate for decades. I'm on a slide toward being pretty pro-life. That's not a religious position, though I admit I have been influenced by religious thinkers on the topic. Another big influence has been the preposterous extreme pro-choice positions of late, AND considering the lack of men's rights in ALL cases. I guess I'm being pushed right by the extremism of the activist left, and this is just another example. Abortion as birth control is appalling. PERSONALLY, I don't consider extinguishing 'the spark of life' to be abortion, though I have no proof. It's my feeling that there is no sentience or uniqueness that suggests personage. It doesn't take very long until I think that personage is there, and I think it becomes 'abortion' rather than contraception. I still don't have all of the answers, or answer to special cases. This is where I'm sitting right now.

Such a tough one to come up with a viable solution for.
It's like on one hand, there's pro choice idea which can be viewed like "how dare you suggest putting forward a law the prohibits my rights to make the decision to abort my unborn baby"
But then there's the counter to that which says "well it appears that the law already suggests that taking a life is illegal" (assuming that there is life as soon as new DNA is created) so abortion should be restricted fairly early in pregnancy according to THAT law.

So then it goes back to the pro choice arguement, and i feel this is where they kind of get trapped in their own idea, because if pro choice is your claim then leading up to pregnancy there were precautionary measures you could have put in place to avoid becoming pregnant (unless you're the minority that had been raped, which is it's own discussion)

It's a slippery topic of discussion, but luckily we have this space to discuss it openly. I believe that I side on the restriction in most cases, but plan B should be permitted. But enforcing that is a scary thought for the conditions that you're putting an unborn fetus in, or a newborn baby? But what's the alternative, death to unborn baby, wheres the rights for the new life in that?

Life of the mother, rape, or incest should be the only exceptions. But if I were a legislator and a bill came up with plan B plus my listed exceptions and everything else outlawed, I would vote for that bill because it limits the loss of life.
