I never said I blamed that couple for their choice or that I thought they should have chosen otherwise, though I at first did question their motives. *shrug* Abortion is a tough topic, and I really think no one knows what they'll pick <A HREF="http://www.womensservices.com/Information/tabid/61/Default.aspx" REL="nofollow">until they're in that situation</A>.

I said, "Honestly, I don't know what I would do in that situation myself." If you skim through my archives you may see that I'm a pro-choice liberal, but that I don't blindly accept the whole "party line." For the past few months I've particularly been trying to understand why it is that I feel abortion is ok but the death penalty is mildly distasteful (that is the standard liberal viewpoint, though I used to be for the death penalty), and why conservatives typically feel the opposite, that abortion is bad and the death penalty is good. <BR/><BR/>However, this blog focuses on science, and science hasn't, and I don't think can, establish when a fetus is "human." Other bits of politics generally only come into this blog peripherally.

I don't think you are handling obvious truth.<BR/><BR/>Anthromorphizing is what we do when we make believe in our minds that animals are real, right? Like Bambi?
