[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To me, this is not a surprise.  A fetus may not be a person, but to most people, especially parents, it is not "nothing" either. [/quote]

Then what is it? how do you define what 'it' is?

If it can be discarded at will and the value comes only from being wanted or not, then it is nothing to many people. It it was 'something' it would have value separate from a mother's feelings.

I agree that there are many opinions - I am pro-life and believe that life starts at conception but but have differing viewpoints about others choices depending on the point in the pregnancy. While I may not agree, I can understand a teen getting an abortion at just a few weeks pregnant. I can't understand abortions in the third trimester because someone decides they no longer want a baby. I saw a TV show that had 3 young women all accidentally born during their third trimester abortions. All had disabilities related to the trauma of being born while being aborted (as abortion involves chemicals and amputations at that stage). Listening to their stories impacted me in a big way and it saddened to that to so many people these girls were 'nothing'. [/quote]
