Default Re: Abortion laws, is there a real argument?

[ QUOTE ]
The question you asked can be asked about lots of laws (Drunk Driving, Seat Belts, Motorcycle helmets, self mutilation, etc.). In abortion there actually is a third party directly affected - the baby.

One could throw the word "choice" around in relation to assault. "It should be my choice to hit him in the mouth."

The subjects you mention are different from each other and the one at hand. When do we consider the embryo/fetus has become a human being, I think you are suggesting conception which I would disagree with, but I think the current UK limit of 24 weeks is far too late. This seems to be an emotive subject, and everyone I know has a strong opinion one way or the other, I don't personally see it as black and white.
