| Milton: but people that argue self-awareness or thinking ability makes an organism any less of a life are being extremley ignorant.

So, all organisms are equal ("no less of a life")? Bacteria have just as much a right to life as a human being? You kill thousands of bacteria every day because they aren't self-aware. By your own definition, that makes you just as bad as a mass human murderer.
How is a single-cell-stage human embryo different from a single bacterium cell? You're being speciesist and biased towards humanity if you think there's a difference.
There has to be a distinction, and the point where it is unacceptable to abort should be decided on a case-by-case basis considering the opinion of scientists, medical experts and the parents.
