And it comes down to this: when does life begin? When sperm and egg meet, and a new set of DNA is formed, then biologically a new human being has come into existence. As Catholics, we believe that while the parents provide the biological material to this human, God provides the soul which is required for the body to live. This happens at the moment of conception, and from that point on we are talking about a human being, one who deserves the same protection under the laws as a baby, a child, or an adult. When does life begin: that is the only important question. Everything else is secondary. Many laws restricting abortion feature exceptions for the health of the mother, which you mention. But life either begins in the womb or it doesn't--there cannot be a middle ground between those choices.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3256165281863652253.post-89416240001934683502009-02-22T19:56:00.000-08:002009-02-22T19:56:00.000-08:00I can see both sides.

At the same time, if you can avoid having abortion, this should be also considered because it is also about a life. Is there any way to accommodate both arguments? I will certainly think about choosing some type of middle ground.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
