The one thing I can agree with you on is that we are eventually going to be able to get fetuses out and alive at very early ages. That's amazing and will play a major role in ending abortions.  Having a fetus outside the womb and living still doesn't necessitate that it's a human being though. |
Actually in my personal life I am not OK with contraception, much of which interfers with implantation rather than conception so it abortifacient. However I do not make other women's decisions in my work, not about contraception and not about abortion. I am a care provider, not a life coach. I simply see the lesser of many evils that need to be used in a world where there is a lot of unmarried, even promiscuious sex going on. It is the reality... and again I have no desire to force sinners into the Christian model- they are supposed to be doing exactly what they are doing. They can have contraception, they can have abortions, heck, they can kill the store clerk down the street when they rob him.... but I won't support laws that make it legal to do so and I do support laws that make it illegal.
