Again, this subject is unsolvable.

When does life begin?

If there was a clear cut answer to that question, this wouldn't be as difficult to deal with. It's all relative and its all personal to one's belief and moral system.

To me and this is just me, "life" begins at the "fetal viability" stage or that point at which a fetus can live on its own with a better than 50 / 50 shot at survival. Most doctors pin this at or around 25 weeks. At 25 weeks, there is better than a 50 / 50 chance it will survive (in general and statistically speaking; every case is different). There are no National standards on "fetal viability" dates. That's left up to the States to decide. Some States are at 20 weeks, some are at 28 weeks. As with cancer or AIDS, these dates will change as modern science and health care improves.

BTW - I'm pro "its not my place to decide what is best for someone else". I'm not pro-choice and I'm not pro-life. I'd rather abortions never had to occur in a civilized society, but I understand that sometimes they do. Every circumstance is different and I can only decide what's best for me at every turn in the road of life. Don't tell me what to do and I won't tell you what to do. Extremists on both sides like to tell others what to do and its us folks in the middle that are getting awfully tired of it.
