[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At the point of viability, or [b]when the mother decides she wants to have the baby, whichever comes first[/b].[/quote] Pro-choice. I see viability as the point at which a fetus becomes a human. I really don't understand the viewpoint above. How does the point as to when an individual decides when she wants a baby have any bearing on as to when a fetus actually becomes human?[/quote] I think the PP expressed a practical viewpoint that's often missing in this kind of debate. The mother's intent is a big part of what a fertilized egg might turn out to be. If she decides to have the baby, losing it is a tragedy whether it was viable or not. If she was never going to carry the pregnancy to term, then the fetus is effectively a parasite unless/until it can live on its own. I'm pro choice from a legal standpoint, but think that more women should choose adoption. (I am an adoptive parent).[/quote]
