Pro-Life or Pro-Choice?

[Rowan]

My personal perspective is that abortion kills something living. Rowan asked earlier why I care if some assortment of cells in a uterus dies when I am happy to eat animals. I think that any unique arrangement of human genetic information in a cell capable of cell division is a unique human person.

Purely out of curiosity, does that include sperm? Also, if it doesn't, at what point would you consider it? Once its hit the egg?

A sperm is only one half of the genetic information required for a person, and is not capable of cell division. Same with an egg. So conception is when I personally consider life to begin, because I can't see a different moment that is more reasonable. However I'm happy to concede that is is debatable, so again, pro-choice because I'm happy for others to decide for themselves. I don't have to like their decisions, but we should be free to decide.
