Exactly. It shares a likeness with the issue of gay marriage. Its against your religion, and? Your point being? We should start keeping other people from doing it just because your religion says its wrong? No. We leave it to them.

Although there is an issue of when a fetus can be declared a living functioning human. id say about 12-15 weeks, i believe the limit should be about week 17. 1215 weeks is when the baby begins to develop its brain to the point where it is sectioning off areas for different functions and about 17 is moving and very alive indeed. It is a very touchy issue. Week 10 is when they can be distinguished as a human being. before then i believe its a bit too underdeveloped to be called a functioning human, but week 17 seems and appropriate limit. By then woman should very well know if they are pregnant, skipping 4 periods and showing sings of pregnancy.

As for birth control, i think its absurd to denounce it. If you do not have the ability to care for a child, why would you bring him into this world? People who use birth control, even a simple condom, are probably using it to prevent something that they cant possibly afford to do. Having available the ability to control the spread of disease and prevent children from suffering because of the fact that their parents cant afford to take care of them is a dam good outcome if you ask me.

Also, i wasnt necessarily directing this at you cybermat, just to let you know
