icon66,
I'm in your camp on this issue. I don't look at a zygote, a blastocyst, or an embryo as the equivalent of a human being...at least not at the early stages. I think many people endow these potential humans with the human quality of fear of death from which they want to save the "baby". It's possibly an emotional response that doesn't consider the conditions into which the baby will be born.
I'd agree that a woman has the right to chose and a responsibility to chose wisely for her sake and for the sake of the potential human being she's carrying.
Just as an aside, I think abortion ought to be available up until the 57th trimester. If I've done the math correctly, that works out to approximately 18 years old. Maybe we'd have easier times as parents. (Of course, I'm not serious.)
Finally, to those who think an embryo is a human being, I've got a bag of acorns, er, I mean oak trees, I'd like to sell them for $250,000 for the lumber they will produce.
