Re:Sentience (Score 1)

I believe a human life begins, not at conception, but rather, when the "group of cells" has reached sentience. I don't have the medical research to know when this is, be it long after the baby is born, or long before (or somewhere in between), but either way, I believe that before sentience, it's just like killing a tree. Am I happy when the forest outside my house gets chopped down? No. Do I think the constructionists should be charged with murder? No. I think, legally, it isn't murder until the baby is able to think for itself. In that light, I am pro-abortion, though I still believe that the choice should be made before the mother is pregnant, not after. I still think abortion is wrong, but looking at it from a LEGAL standpoint...
