I believe that human life begins at conception, which brings me to classify abortion as a form of justifiable homicide. If it’s legal—and it should be—it can’t really be considered as anything else.

That said, there are times when the procedure is pushed to truly obscene extremes (partial birth abortion for example) and this Korean case must surely be such. The overwhelming element of cruelty takes it beyond a justifiable medical procedure.

I don’t see how two living cells combined could make anything but life. Debating that really weakens the Pro-Choice argument.

My Mom’s mom was born one month premature, and swore her whole life that because of that she had one less layer of skin!!
