SOME THOUGHTS ON ABORTION

**************************************************

Let me start by admitting that I believe that abortion is wrong, except when necessary to preserve the life of the mother.

Here is why I believe what I do.

From the moment of conception a human life is present. Note that I did not say "human being". If that statement were not true then there would not be an "abortion issue."

Abortion is the termination of a human life, regardles of the state of development of that life.

Abortion is the termination of a human life without due process. No court of law has to approve of an abortion if the mother is mentally competent.

The taking of a human life without due process is...... Well, we all know the answer, don't we.

No matter what arguments I have heard from the pro-abortion, or pro-choice, advocates I cannot escape the conclusion I come to as stated above.

If anyone visiting here thinks there is a fallacy in the derivation of my conclusions I'd sure like to hear why.
