I agree 100% with your statement. "I personally can't see the tragedy of a few multiplying cells (that you can only see with a microscope) being terminated. But partial-birth abortions are gruesome and barbaric - " I believe it should be a choice with guidelines. I just don't think it should be completely illegal. It should NOT be so extreme as to say no NEVER or yes ANYTIME. My position has simply been for the choice to be there. I have no problem with guidelines. There HAVE to be guidelines/laws/ restrictions whatever you want to call them, because otherwise it WOULD become a method of birth control. As far as taking emotion out of it?..... Then see my previous statement- no matter who believes what about abortion, it will be done. So removing all "emotion" what are we as a society going to do about that fact? Because at the end of the day after everyone is done throwing their 2 cents in..... we as a society need to make sure it is safe.
