I thought so too, until I saw the responses here!  I can't say I agree with the logic.  Performing triage on people's very lives is not something that I think should be done outside of a crisis situation, which I don't think most of these pregnancies qualify as.  Perhaps they see the lives of unborn people as much less valuable. 

There is a different between human life and a person.  

I stand corrected; sundin13 isn't a majority even if he meets the stricter criterion (his post isn't explicit). 

While I have your attention, I'd like to ask you about your statement, "We also need to have some sort of restriction as to when a fetus can be aborted, because it obviously doesn't suddenly switch alive the moment it is born.  But, the best we can do is lines in the sand.  We're never going to have a magican moment when a ball a cells qualifies as a human.  So, we leave the decisions in the gray area to the people directly involved in any case, particularly the woman who will be carrying the child."

How gray is this gray area you're talking about?  Your wording suggests that we let women get abortions when we aren't even confident we aren't killing people, just so long as we aren't confident we ARE killing people.  Would you like to clarify or elaborate on this?
