To me,this is another form of potential life.I would imagine you're Catholic,and have been taught that this package is "life." I don't believe it is life.Just as I don't believe (2 days after a person dies) a dead body is life.When the embryo becomes something that has a way to feel stimuli(pain etc.,) then it is actual life(to me.)That's precious to me.The package up to that point isn't (to me)alive yet.So,I am not for choosing to end life.I just will never agree with you that an embryo is actual life(until it can feel something,it is potential life.)So,I am for women having the right to end a pregnancy before this stage.If you look at this intellectually,then you will have an opinion when life is actual,and when it is "potential." If you let your religion decide it for you,then you don't have to think(you just react.)

maybe you misread me here, or in the past. i'm pro choice. what i meant is that no one is pro death, altho some pro lifers would argue that if one is pro choice, one must be pro death. that's the kind of thing people tend to want to cling to, titles. black or white, if you aren't this then you must be that.
as for my religion, i was raised catholic, but i don't consider myself to be one (altho some say once a catholic, always so) and i do not attend any church, and haven't in years.
