I do appreciate your answers, yes protection is good and abstinance probably better. You did not reply as to how you felt about the difference between physical existance and consious existence. My root feeling on abortion however is still gut oriented. My world view on the matter is much larger. The real issues we are dealing with when we deal with abortion are violence against women, miseducation, and ignorance. How much better our society would be if we, pro life and pro choice, focused on the causes and not the symptoms (the syptom being aborrtion, or rather abortion being a quick fix, a band aid on a bleeding artery of society). I do respect your views however, you seem well researched. I hope we both dig deeper, these are things to ponder.
