. . .Dogmatic orthodoxy on abortion is also a philosophical problem for the left. In the great moral debates of our time, they have rested their case on science, not blind belief. Lately they have taken to calling themselves "reality-based," in somewhat sneering contrast to presumably simpleminded "faith-based" conservatives. The problem is, this time they are on the wrong side of science.

It is true that millions of opponents of abortion arrived at their position without the need for photographic evidence. They have always believed that human life begins at conception. But there are millions of others, neither reactionary nor religious, who have now concluded — or are in the process of concluding — that at some point, before birth, fetuses become babies, deserving of protection.

My daughter was just born 2 weeks ago tomorrow. At 14 weeks, it had arms, legs, head, etc... It moved too.

I'm sorry, but how anyone can knowingly end a life in any stage for any other reason than medical, is beyond me.
