What makes one thing a hate crime and not another. The whole thing with calling an attack, terrorist, or Islamic terrorism and that being the reason we are losing to Isis is absolutely absurd-- dare I say [BLEEP].


So I get that.


As with everything, a compromise seems the best fit. Nobody is totally happy, but no side is getting the absolute shaft either.


To me, saying life starts at conception is an absurd line. But as a reasonable human being, I also find 3 trimester abortions to be just soul shattering.


During the development that happens in a pregnancy, up until the 10th week or so, the embryo doesn't have a sex, doesn't have arms or fingers that have developed, is smaller than the size of a peanut, etc...


To me, it's a rational line of demarcation. I mean, yeah, if you believe that human life and the soul enters the zygote at conception, then 8-10 weeks is still a terrible idea. Well, I'm sorry if that's the case. But I think those people are in the minority of Americans.


Are you of the opinion that life begins at conception?
