Well, I can understand that, since I screwed up the post. That's what I get for trying to think while my 5 year old is buzzing around me. I think what I was attempting to say was that an abortion on demand society challenges the concept of when life begins in an extreme manner. I think most folks are horrified by the concept of near-term abortions. But as science advances, abortion on demand and the determination of when life begins will continue to collide.

What I do not find reasonable is the mindset that would place undue importance on making sex something that can only occur within approved relationships. It seems like the only "sins" some groups care about are the sins that occur with sexual organs. To me there are plenty of "sins" that deserve greater attention.

But if were talking about the need for an abortion, or the need for a "morning after pill" we're probably also talking about unprotected sex, and quite possibly unprotected casual sex. I think many folks might agree that such behavior is playing Russian Roulette with one's own body (STD's, etc.). But were also talking about casually creating a life, right?
