Default Re: silly question about republican \"platform\"

Hence why abortion is just about the only issue I can sorta agree with Republicans on.

I just don't understand how either side can be so extreme in their stance on the issue though. Essentially abortion debates ALWAYS come down to "exactly when does life begin?" Conception? Birth?

I think the general consensus is that it is some point between the moment of conception, and the moment of birth. But at what point? And why are so many Americans so ignorant about when during the pregnancy abortion is actually legal? My dad raised me believing that babies could be killed the day before they were to be born.

How anyone can answer that question with any degree of certainty just eludes me. So I think we should err on the side of caution .. not conception, but damn near close.

That's not an issue I'm sure enough of to weigh into my voting decisions though.
