Yeah I never believed that Obama was genuine in wanting to reduce abrtions. (You shouldn't fund a medical practise with tax dollars if you want to make it rare)

Unfortunately, when you involve politics nothing is ever cut and dry or for that matter logical. I know I have participated in them time and time again.

[countsoss]

Of coarse I do not reject reason or logic. You are correct that science can prove that something is alive or dead. However, just because the cells divide from a single cell organism to a multi cell organism does not mean it constitute HUMAN live. If we would classify a fetus as human life, even though is sounds far fetched, we would be obligated to punish women for a crime if they were to have a miscarriage. I believe the legal term for it would be involuntary manslaughter.

"And there in lies the problem and a solution to that problem is to maintain current records that are of course confidential for the individual."

--I am not talking about medical record. I am only talking about reporting the number of abortions and at what stage of the pregnancy the abortion happened. No personal information at all. That is what almost all the other states do.

[IssuesAndJustice]

Whether something is alive can be tested by science. Do you reject that science can answer that question?

It sounds like you just made up your opinion. Are there any objective facts or arguments for your position? I don't think just having an opinion will convince anyone unless you have a rational argument. You don't reject reason and logic do you?

[countsoss]

And there in lies the problem and a solution to that problem is to maintain current records that are of course confidential for the individual. You cannot treat someone for a problem or an addiction if all your records are blank. Then again accountability in government even under our new president is blotchy at best.

[countsoss]

I dont believe your can prove or disprove my opinion. It is all philosophical like trying to prove or disprove the existence of god. That is why it is just my opinion. In my opinion the ability to survive outside of the whom, not including protection from predators or feeding.

[IssuesAndJustice]

Record keeping and public accountability are low. My state, California, refuses to report the total number of abortions to the CDC. Every year the CDC report has California blank.

[IssuesAndJustice]

What scientific evidence do you have to support your opinion?

What makes an entity living?

[countsoss]

That is true in part. It depends on when you believe that life actually begins. The moment the egg is fertilized or the first breath of the new born. I happen to believe it is the latter of the two.
