i want to add an opinion with this [quote=bhebhiej]--@fis.ms I agree with you on being more strict on the doctor's who perform the procedure. And glad you raised the question of "saving the life of the woman, and especially "if the child would be born with a congenital disorder". Yes, good thinking. What's worse, allowing the future child to grow up possibly confined to a bed or wheelchair, or disfigured and deformed, never being able to experience the joys of life...OR...saving that future child of having to go through a life of physical and likely emotional/mental pain?--[/quote] actually i had this friend that happen to commit those practice. she was so desperate. she actually get pregnant that second time to the same man who is already committed.... she said that the person who did those practice was not licensed and it was only done in the womans house, she was lying on the floor, and there were no enough facilities there, there are no delivery rooms etch it was so illegal, and if the woman is caught she will be charged. nwei after they removed the fetus, she went home, travel thru a bus home, after a week she was okay again... and about this [quote=bhebhiej]Do you truly believe that a fetus or an embryo is a life? Or is a fetus or an embryo more like what's inside an egg that most of you probably eat every day? I realize that a chicken and a human are completely different, but at the same time...it's kind of the same? We kill/murder/eat "babies" every day when we crack open that egg shell. But when you crack that egg open do you think of a life form inside of it, or do you think it's something that "could" have been a life form? Or maybe you just "don't" think about it. Most likely, you probably don't even think about it because you do not consider it to be a "life". It's "just" food. So for those of you who are against abortion and believe that a fetus or embryo is a life form...tell me the difference between a human embryo and a chicken embryo, and why one is a life and one is not. I'm not criticizing you or telling you that you're wrong, I'm just curious to know your side.[/quote] i think i will now avoid eating eggs...
