It's not just a good point, it's a critical point. I know people who are against abortion think that this is a good way to limit those further, but the reality is that it creates the perfect storm for holding individual pregnant women responsible for poor fetal outcomes. What happens with miscarriages occur, especially those that are later-term? Pregnant women can be held responsible. Having the occasional glass of wine during your pregnancy? You could be charged with giving alcohol to a minor. These aren't hypothetical situations. One a fetus becomes a person the slippery slope of legislating and criminalizing pregnant women's behavior just takes off. [/quote]

I'm the 13:32 poster.  I should clarify that I whole-heartedly oppose the legislation that is the original subject of the thread.  I agree that it's a slippery slope.  I also agree that, until we can come up with some acceptable, reasonable solution (and I don't see one on the horizon), abortion should be legal and obstacle-free for women.  I still feel that it's ending a life, but if I have to choose between the rights of the pregnant woman and the rights of the fetus she's carrying (a horrible choice to have to make), then I choose the woman.[/quote]
