[Rhodes22-list] Rik S., a question of when life begins

[Rik Sandberg]

Ed,

Not sure why you'd be asking me this question. I have already stated 
that I am not in favor of abortion, but I do mind my own business. Also, 
I am surely no expert on either the medical or scientific aspects of 
pregnancy/child bearing so this question, as others have said, is 
probably above my pay grade.

I wouldn't like to see people performing the scenario, partial birth 
abortion I believe it is called, that Todd was talking about. I'm pretty 
sure that a fetus is truly a person by then.

One thing I do know is, nobody is going to have to answer for my sins 
but me. As such, since I am not without sin, I have no business casting 
stones.

Rik
