I think I could not bring myself to eat eggs that might contain a human embryo, no matter how small, nor how unlikely the chance that the thing could be in a particular set of my morning eggs, as long as the chance was non-zero. Nevertheless, I do think that such thinking, in both cases, is superstitious. <BR/><BR/>The impact of an unwanted child on society and the mother's life, however, is not superstitious. It is very real, broadly predictable, and generally, not always, but generally destructive.<BR/><BR/>Antiabortionist's always try to shame us into their viewpoint by reciting story after story about the successful children of single parents, the paragons among them who have given much to society. But by the same token, every time a women chooses to delay pregancy by even a moment, the odds are overwhelming that a different sperm will fertilize the egg, a different person will be born, or not born as the case may be. All those extra eggs and sperm washed away unused! They could have been people, people who have now lost their hope of ever living. Is that not equivalent to mass murder, I ask you?jj mollohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15011855944240477996noreply@blogger.com
