Well, having looked at sperm thru a microscope it looks pretty 'alive' to me.

If abortion contradicts what you believe then you should never practice it. Follow your own concience.

The real issue is that humans really have no right to make these moral decisions for other humans. Those that think they do have caused nearly all the bloodshed in history.
The concept of a forced morality by standards of the majority brought about the very country in which we live, and the constitution we enjoy. That should be a sobering thought to the American who now feels it okay to force others by majority consensus or by their own concience.

Palins position with regard to her personal life and practice isnt the issue...its what she feels is okay to force upon others that I would be concerned with. Also, the notion that the current war is 'Gods work'....now that is way wacky!!!!
