> one-and-a-half-pound globs

This is a human being we are talking about. A child.

I like to think of myself as someone who can usually empathize with folks who hold a different point of view, but I have never been able to understand someone who looks at a human life in terms of a "cost-benefit" analysis.

This glob we're talking about has less in common with a (prototypical) human being than does a 29-week fetus still implanted in the womb. You're taking a strong stand here in the abortion debate; is that intentional?


No, I'm very pro-choice. But a 1 lb baby is still a baby. If we were talking about an actual clump of cells, I'd have agreed with you.
