No discussion of this subject that gets down to issues of God or Satan have any merit what-so-ever, either logically or legally.
What must be decided is where is a scientifically valid point to declare a woman (except in rare medical cases emergencies) forfeits her right of choice due to the virtual existance of a seperate being. Recognizing the the umbilical provides sustinance. The fact is there is an independant heart beating. An independant mind functioning, independant voluntary movement of appendages, etc.
I find the arguement legally that until the chord is cut there is no being a bit to extreme. Women have plenty of opportunity to make their decision far sooner and at a far less stage of development. It is incumbent on civilized society to enforce some limited control over the issue and not allow i.e. - Partial Birth Abortion as a convience of the right of choice but only for medical necessity.
