Just a note about the Catholic Church reference. According to my gf (as we have had a few BC 'arguments') BC is outlawed not based on abortion killing unborns, but because pregnancy is a 'gift from God' and to prevent it, is to prevent one of his gifts (of course, being the scientific me, i can argue all day long to no avail about the scientific certainty of procreation by two fertile beings copulating enough... although i do feel for those who cannot have children). *NOTE this may or may not be the 'official' stance of the Catholic Church, this is just how she interprets it *END NOTE* Anyways, i thought i'd just add those two cents.
Oh, and menoman, that disclaimer, is that of a good debater. When a debate is reduced to attacking your opponent, instead of attacking the issue (called abusive ad hominem) then it doesn't help anyone. I also love debates, formal, informal, whatever. I find that i can learn so much from other people's views and often times facts and statistics that i am unaware of.
Personally, i'm not big on pro or anti-abortion. Some would say that if i'm not pro-life, then i'm for abortion (aka, by not going against the status quo, i'm supporting it). Say what you like, but i haven't yet come to a firm stance either way.
Personally, i think first trimester (within 3 months) abortions are okay, although i don't exactly encourage them. After that, i'm fairly against it, except for extreme circumstances (danger to mother etc). Why? Just because *shrug*
