I remember in a college class, a woman declaring that a fetus was a parasite. So we all called her the host creature. Just brought back some fond memories.
Alot of interesting thoughts on this thread. My own view is that abortion should be legal up to the time the fetus is viable outside the womb. I'd also be in favor of giving the man a "veto" on the theory that if the child has a parent that wants it, then the child should be born. Of course, the pro-life folks would want to set this up so women would have to get a waiver from the guy, and the pro-life people wont hear of it. No way to implement any sane idea in a sensible fashion on this subject. The status quo isnt really that bad--we need better, cheaper, safer, easier to use birth control, but some people resist birth control to the extent of not even wanting to talk about it in school, which is just insane.
