» Feature Writer Brian Tubbs - Reponse to Pink

In response to When does life begin? posted by pink101:
This question of abortion is outside my ability to comprehend not being a woman capable of bearing a child.

I'm sure there are many decisions made by certain people that are beyond your personal comprehension (same with me), but that doesn't mean you can't have a voice in the matter. In a separate post and thread, I wrote of a 14-year old teenage mother suspected of sexually abusing her 18-month old daughter. That is TOTALLY beyond my comprehension, but I most CERTAINLY have an opinion about it - and will, if given the opportunity, be heard at the table of societal public opinion!

To argue the points on a religious basis throws our Constitutional legal system into a mishmash of the law.

Just about ALL of our major legal principles can be traced back to religion, Pink. Nevertheless, I disagree with you that the pro-life position comes down to religion. A discussion of fetal development - where the baby is at 8 weeks, 10 weeks, 20 weeks - is NOT a religious question. It's a medical issue. And it's very pertinent (or at least SHOULD be) to abortion policy!
