- anti-abortion = doesn't care about women ??? I don't think so...
-
- Undifferentiated tissue? Do you realize that second and even
- third trimester abortions are performed daily by the thousands?
- Have you ever seen what get's sucked out of the womb? It's arms,
- legs, heads... not "tissue". Since you're so gung-ho about
- abortions, why don't you go see for yourself what gets aborted!
- Well, I'm more interested in discussing Rush than abortion, so this
- is all I have to say concerning abortion on alt.rush-limbaugh.

- "However one answers the metaphysical or theological question
- whether the fetus is a 'human being' or the legal question
- whether it is a 'person' as that term is used in the
- Constitution, one must at least recognize, first, that the fetus
- is an entity that bears in its cells all the genetic information
- that characterizes a member of the species Homo Sapiens and
- distinguishes an individual member of that species from all
- others and, second, that there is no nonarbitrary line
- separating a fetus from a child or, indeed, an adult human
- being."
