Pregnancy and the decision to end one is a profound issue. It's nothing to take lightly. I glad that I am not in the shoes of anyone about to make a decision whether or not to end a pregnancy, whether it is this case of a pregnancy inside a brain dead mother, or it is a healthy, living mother making the decision, hopefully much earlier in her pregnancy. I'm pro-choice. I find the whole question of abortion makes me queasy. I'm still pro choice. I hope that no one takes the decision to end a pregnancy lightly. I'm speaking more of choosing to use the term embryo or fetus to lessen the impact and profundity of such a decision, in my lastest posts. Any of us who have been pregnant, especially if we wanted the baby, know that a pregnancy is nothing trivial to just have removed as if it were tonsils or a gallbladder.

Are you talking unfertilized eggs or eggs with chicks developing inside them? Do you eat eggs with chicks in them? I don't mean little blood specks, I mean chicks. On the left I can't tell if the egg is a bird egg. On the right it is clearly a bird egg, a developing chick. You can call it whatever you want to, but it is still a chick.

From medicinenet.com Wait a minute here, I didn't think this developing embryo was a baby, but according to medicenenet.com, it's a baby.

A fetus is not a baby.

You don't have children, do you? You know, ones you grew yourself?

Jesus didn't wear pants. I think JW men should wear skirts like Jesus and the apostles did.

It's truly an incredibly-sad situation, whichever way you cut it.

Completely agree with you, Adam.

That's not going to bother them. You're on your own unique journey, if that ends you up in atheism, they understand.
