So, if my opinion = yours, I'd be open-minded. But since my opinion does not, that means I'm closed-minded. Gosh Linda, can you get anymore arrogant? Believing the personhood of the child beginning at the very first stages, is not being closed-minded nor extreme. It's proven that it's a human life from the start, unless you want to argue basic biology. You can call it a bunch of cells if you wish, as though nothing is there, if that makes you feel better about it all. In my book, taking human life is murder, or I'd be a hypocrite by suggesting it isn't. Whether it's at the very beginning, early stages, the middle or the end of pregnancy. All human life is sacred and should be protected, particularly those that cannot protect or speak for themselves. The ones most vulnerable amongst us.

In fact, this was discussed and debated on the creation/evolution forum and it was a very long and tiring debate....

The use of the words extreme and open-minded towards a person who believes in the personhood of the unborn beginning at conception are unnecessary. Can you not actually disagree without patronising?
