Nice term "non-sentient tissue structure". Merely because the fetus has yet to develop sentiency doesn't mean that it won't-- aborting it robs it of its right to do so. I think timing is irrelevant. I think that's why IUDs were such a bad idea-- birth control needs to prevent conception from occurring, not dealing with it after the fact. Once an egg has been fertilized, it is a genetically potential human being whose rights must be protected under law by the State. -John > > > Dave!
