- ok. first of all the womb is the mothers. the foetus could not survive
- without it. in vitro foetus culturing does not yet exist. second, it is your
- opinion and yours only that the foetus can be considered a 'baby'. as a member
- of the scientific community i wholeheartedly disagree with you. the qualities
- associated with life are not all present. it is like a tumour or a virus which
- needs a host to survive. your use of the word butchery is an obvious ploy to
- compare abortion with animal slaughter; stick to rational, non-inflamatory
- language. it just makes you look like a knee jerk right winger. i would bet
- that i could show you a picture of a human, pig, fish, and monkey embryos and
- there would be no way you could identify which is which. all animals go through
- similar developmental pathways on their way to becoming whatever. this is not
- evidence for the presence of life, it is just the way nature makes things
- happen. i would also bet that i could not tell them apart as well. i put this
- in to avoid any meaningless challenges. the types of abortion in which limbs
- and head etc. are visible enough are late 2nd and 3rd trimester abortions which
- constitue a very small percentage (sorry no data for this).
