Those against legalized abortion readily acknowledge that the unborn is a human life. No surprise.  However, those in favor of legalized abortion also acknowledge that the unborn is a human life.
Hours After Fertilization			Planned Parenthood. "One sperm plus one egg = one baby."  Planned Parenthood/World Population "ABCs of Birth Control" Pamphlet, 1973  Bill Clinton. "...all of us, all human beings, genetically are 99.9 percent the same."  White House Documents. Remarks By The President, Inter-Continental Hotel, Athens, Greece. 20 November 1999
Week 6 After Fertilization			Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor. "At the heart of liberty is the right to define one's own concept of existence, of meaning, of the universe, and of the mystery of human life."  US Supreme Court, Planned Parenthood vs Casey, 1992  NOTE: Despite any disagreements with her abortion ruling that the meaning of human life is subjective, it is incontestable that she is writing about human life. She writes "OF human life." No question about that. The unborn is human life.
Week 12 After Fertilization			Planned Parenthood. "Abortion kills the life of a baby after it has begun."  Planned Parenthood "Plan Your Children for Health and Happiness" Pamphlet, 1963  Ron Fitzsimmons. "...the abortion-rights folks know it, the anti-abortion folks know it, and so probably, does everyone else. One of the facts of abortion is that women enter abortion clinics to kill their fetuses. It is a form of killing ...you're ending a life."  Ron Fitzsimmons, National Coalition of Abortion Providers, New York Times, 26 February 1997
Week 24 After Fertilization			Abortionist Martin Haskell. "Reassessing proper placement of the closed scissors tip and safe elevation of the cervix, the surgeon then forces the scissors into the base of the skull or into the foramen magnum. Having safely entered the skull, he spreads the scissors to enlarge the opening. The surgeon removes the scissors and introduces a suction catheter into this hole and evacuates the skull contents ...he applies traction to the fetus, removing it completely from the patient."  Martin Haskell, "Dilation and Extraction for Late Second Trimester Abortion." Presented at the National Abortion Federation Risk Management Seminar, 13 September 1992

On this point there is no room for a common ground. There is no room for compromise. Either it is acceptable to destroy human life or it is not. The circumstances do not matter. Should our laws and culture recognize an unconditional, absolute value on human life or do we allow legislators and courts to carve out circumstances in which the value of human life is subservient to other considerations? Take your side.

If we allow for even one exception, then the value of human life is no longer unconditional and absolute; it opens the proverbial "Pandora's Box." One exception has led to another, and now we allow the destruction of human life as it is being born. We have plunged to depths where people like Martin Haskell can describe, openly in a public forum, new methods to destroy human life, with the explicit purpose of educating others to use these procedures. Take your side.
